Hi,


Are you looking to work in China?


Do you want to work with Kindergarten children?


Do you want a good Salary?


Do you want weekends off and two ½ days?


If you do, please contact me today. Our kindergarten needs teachers for the new semester starting September. We also have vacancies in our training centers. We are based in GuangZhou, Dongguan, and Foshan all in Guangdong Province, China.


Our school is called CIEO (Canadian International Education Organization)


If you want more details then please get in touch, If you know someone who might be interested then please forward this to them.


If you can’t start September don’t worry, you can still apply as we need teachers throughout the year!


All the best,


Robert


Hi there :)


You must be in China now??


How is it? How are you getting on? Found any work? What area are you in? I am heading out on the 31st. Have my flight booked from Heathrow to Beijing. So I am very excited right now!! :)


Take care! :)

Hi thanks for adding me! So your gonna go straight out to china and get a job once your there? Think your probably braver than me! im still undecided how im going to go about teaching in china yet, have you done a TEFL course already? Do you reckon you'll have a better chance of getting work than if you stayed here and got one sorted in advance? best of luck with it all, ill probably pester you for advice once your doing it!


cheers!

Hey again!


Yea, its great, huh!!


First off I am going to Shijiazhuang, which is in the Hebei province, about 2.5 hours south of Beijing. Then after 3 months teaching at a training center there ( To get a bit of experience ya know ) I'll be heading to HK to change my Visa to a work one. ( I'm a bit dubious about that working out too... I've read so much stuff!.... but seems okay at the moment.. I'll have to wait and see...haha) Then with Z visa in hand i am heading to Handan to teach in a middle school there. Signed a contract and stuff, so hopefully it'll all go well! Booked my flight this morning!! Woohoo!!


Have you made any travel arrangements yet?

Hi there!


I'm heading off to China at the end of May also!!


I'm going with my boyfriend. We lined up a job from the UK first. We are going to teach at a training centre for three months as we have a 3 month F business visa. Then when that runs out we are going to Hong Kong to change it to a Z work Visa before starting at the state school in September!


Its all so exciting isn't it!

oh cool, I was just in Dublin a few months ago over New Year's, love Ireland! anyway I love that you're going on a tourist visa, too many people get wrapped up in the visas beforehand...I'd recommend Shanghai if you like vibrant nightlife and a bustling cosmopolitan and tons of Europeans, but Beijing if you're more into history and culture. I LOVE Shanghai but I have to admit it's not very Chinese anymore, unfortunately...but the Beijing accent puts Rs on the end of everything, so everyone sounds like pirates there!

wow, that sounds like a great adventure. I am from Tullamore in Offaly but have been living in Dublin for nearly 5 years now with University and work. Looking forward to getting to China now to start a new adventure, I am only going on a tourust visa and hope to go to HK to get the Z visa when I get a job, fingers crossed! Would you prefer Beijing or Shanghai to work and live for awile? best of luck with the rest of your studies :)

By the way, where in Ireland are you from?

I'm finishing up my last semester, graduating in two weeks, then headed back to Shanghai for six weeks. My family's from there (I was born in the US though) so we go back nearly every year to visit. Might make a small trip up to Beijing though! After that I'm moving to Singapore to travel around SE Asia a bit for the summer =)

Hi Edna, good to hear from you, i havent lined up a job yet, i am going to wait until i get there, but i was going to start off in Beijing. Thanks a million. Where are you now?
