The easiest way to find a job is to use i-to-i’s Job Placement Service: you can get a 6-12 month teaching contract, free accommodation and a bonus on completion of your contract.
Otherwise, you can always search with the embassy or apply directly to language institutions advertising online. There are also plenty of placement agencies that find teachers for schools and colleges in China.
