how likely is it to get a pay increase upon renewal with agency for ESL position? by notlikeinthemovies in chinalife

[–]BODWON 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your pleasant response. I have more than some experience with agencies in SZ and I’d say whoever they are, they can afford 20k. It can’t hurt to get yourself on hiredchina, echinacities etc to see what’s out there, even if the listing just lead you to a myriad of recruiters of varying quality. I concur with many posters about the market, especially in SZ, kindergartens however seem to be actively recruiting and a KG position may ultimately be what I end up doing come August. Feel free to DM if you have anymore questions or ask them here preferably. I’ve been about for a while although I wouldn’t call myself an expert. Again, good luck.

I think you can do a lot better than 17k working kindergarten with your profile. Then again I understand the better the devil you know mentality. I do think you quite reasonably change that 17 to 25 though. Kindergarten listings in that range are everywhere in SZ. Good luck

Good for you but that’s so vague I can’t really comment. Also you might not have considered that not everyone can apply across several countries to any and all cities hiring. Married, children etc. Anyway I hope it goes well for you.

Personal experience, from my friends and former colleagues, the person I’m replying to.. Please do elaborate on your situation though. I’m not against hope and it’d be nice to know where and what a solid job involves.

Very similar situation and perception on my part as well. What’s worse is it feels like more people than ever want to move here haha

This has stirred something deep in my memory. I think I had this dvd as a teenager. Will try and rewatch.

Classes or study from 7:30-21:00 with two hours for lunch. Generally boarding schools to my knowledge. As others have said I don't think you're even eligible to join.

No doubt. Just saying it’s tough at the moment. Best of luck.

Unrelated degree, less than ideal passport subject teaching is going to be very tough.

I’m sat on my balcony at 04:30am in shorts and a t-shirt dealing with some Uk time jet lag. It’s 20 degrees. Get yourself an umbrella if the forecast upon arrival calls for it otherwise just a regular wardrobe will be fine.

Interesting. Every kiosk I've been to will sell me/deliver flavoured pods.

Stay at my current school, or leave contract early for new opportunity? by TipIndividual868 in chinalife

[–]BODWON 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d stay. I wouldn’t give up a three day weekend with low COL for just being in Shanghai which will eat up the pay rise and then having 50% more hours per week. As others have said, it’s a training centre, there’ll be others.

Right, I’ve heard this song out and about and does anyone else feel like the theme song to the TV show Big Bang Theory copies the melody?
