As for Shanghai: love the place, but it's but one destination. Dalian, Qingdao and Zuhai are particularly desirable, in my book, but I'm open to suggestions. The only caveat is that it'd have to be Uni work at a reputable school (as in the FTs had no beefs with the school, not "Harvard"-status schools) - and not way out in the middle of the sticks, where one would have to take 2 long bus trips and an overnight train to get to: a hypermart, Pizza Hut, Computer market, or reliable (by China's standards) DVD vendor.


When does the next season of University FT positions open up in China? December???


I'm in Dalian. My University (MSU-LNU) requires a Master's Degree to teach academic subjects.  I teach at the Branch Campus of Missouri State.  LNU the main (Chinese) campus also hires but I don't know all their requirements.  We are close to everything 3 bus stops from Carrifore and Walmart, or 8RMB by taxi.  Costs about 15 to go downtowm but the same buses also go there.  Second term starts in late February.

Dude, this is so transferrable!  Come get some teaching gig, and find some local shmo with a decent digital cam.  Sounds like they hate you for existing back home.

Once we're done and a new passport's in hand and I've got enough for a ticket and a month's survival: the job hunt will begin. I've got a mini-dv kit and have some projects in mind, so you're definitely onto something, Con. As for "hating me," it definitely feels that way in the United States these days. This isn't the country I was raised in. That's for sure. The city I live in is f'n backwards. It was easier to get the part-time gig at this station than it was to get a job in an office or bookstore (which pay the same, or better). No joke. Totally f'n backwards... llllllllll

DragonSaver - thanks for the information. I only have a Bachelors at the moment. The Masters is something I'll work on down the line, but it appears I am underqualified for your school. :(

Dang, the reply I was typing dissapeared.  Hit a wrong key.

You don't have to save for airfare.  Many schools pay your airfare over.

SYU-Lambton College is one. Accommodations suck but they pay airfare, pay salary in advance and treat you ok.  They are always looking.  Lampton college has another compus in Changchun (sp?) which has a much better reputation.  Oh yes at SYU-Lambton you can hire on for only one semester and they still pay your full airfare (return).  They may even have openings for starting after Sept 1st.  http://www.chinatefl.com/jiangsu/teach/js_lmd.html

Normally you will be interviewed from Sarnia, Ontario.  But you apply online as above.  If you hunt you can probably find the Changchun campus too.

Thanks again,  DS! bjbjbjbjbj I've bookmarked the information and will look into it when I've gotmy ducks in a row on this side of the pond. As for plane fair - I always assumed it wa reimbursement. So, it is common for China Unis to pay for the flight? If so, that's one load off of my shoulders.

I wouldn't take that to the bank!! Work on the re-imbursement theory.

Ya, not all pay up front.  Both of mine did, however I asked the second one to do it and they did.  Other teachers had to wait for reimbursement.

My name is Anya and I just recently got to Beijing to teach English and French. I am Russian, but I now live in Canada, and am a university student there. I am quite new to the city and don't know many people, but I am keeping myself open to anything and hope to learn as much as I can in the time that I am here!
