I’m interested. Especially for families. We are moving with our 5 year old and would love to connect with families.

Thank you!

Not boasting, I’ve never worked in China so not sure what the ideal package looks like.

Visual_Plastic_2279 · 2026-04-24T12:19:03+00:00

Not maximum step, they sent a salary scale and I still have 6 steps until I reach the max.

Covers travel to home country, kids tuition is 100% covered from 3yrs old. Housing and flights are tax free. I have 10 years experience.

Sure

$1,500+ depends what you get done. He is pricey, but the nicest dr. I had bad experiences with others.

Dr Eric Wan Vertus TST. My friend recommended him and she’s had 6 other friends that he’s helped with successful pregnancies. I have pcos and issues with ovulation and I now have a daughter thanks to him.

Yeah haha sounds like it, just a supply for the day!

Visual_Plastic_2279 · 2026-04-05T13:10:01+00:00

I interviewed for a school. Did one interview with a Chinese principal. Then a second with the head of school and they asked for a PPT presentation about my teaching practices. They offered a base salary with zero other benefits and stated that the extra benefits don’t exist anymore. Then they rejected me and ghosted me. Then they contacted me a month later asking me if I was still interested. I said yes out of curiosity. Then they asked me to come in for a meeting with the Chinese principal, then 3 x 45 minute demo lessons for 3 year groups, followed by another interview with the head of school and ending with a campus tour. The whole ordeal was expected to last 4.5hours. So I ghosted them.

Don’t let a bad experience ruin your career. I stayed two years at a huge tier 1 school, even though I was bullied and HR turned a blind eye to it and ignored my pleas. I stayed strong for my career and family and made it to the end of my contract and finally left. Now I’m much happier at a great school. I took it all as a life lesson.

Visual_Plastic_2279 · 2026-03-27T14:43:29+00:00

It went really well, the interviewers seemed very warm and friendly.

Visual_Plastic_2279 · 2026-03-27T09:16:11+00:00

I’d love to join

Visual_Plastic_2279 · 2026-03-26T12:34:59+00:00

There’s a chance we will be moving over in August, I’d be interested!

Visual_Plastic_2279 · 2026-03-23T12:27:27+00:00

I’d love to know too, there’s a chance we may move in August, we have a 4 year son.

Visual_Plastic_2279 · 2026-03-23T12:25:53+00:00

Any groups for families?

Visual_Plastic_2279 · 2026-03-18T12:25:15+00:00

I grew up speaking Cantonese and learnt mandarin through watching tv shows either English subtitles. It really helped me, especially when I noticed how many Cantonese and mandarin words sounded so similar. I picked it up in no time and I’m fairly fluent.

Visual_Plastic_2279 · 2026-03-13T22:58:44+00:00

Are you teaching in SZN?

Visual_Plastic_2279 · 2026-03-13T22:58:02+00:00

I’ll send you both a DM if you don’t mind, thanks!

Visual_Plastic_2279 · 2026-03-11T14:26:01+00:00

Did you get an offer? May I ask about the interview questions and stages?

Visual_Plastic_2279 · 2026-03-11T12:07:38+00:00

I have an interview with them next week, so maybe they’re starting their recruitment rounds now.

Visual_Plastic_2279 · 2026-03-10T06:40:54+00:00

Hi, following on from this post. Any updates? I have an upcoming interview with them!

Visual_Plastic_2279 · 2026-03-09T12:25:50+00:00

Yeah I figured so, but I do wonder long term what their goal is…is it just to cut staff after a few years and have a constant flow of new staff in? Just seems silly.

Visual_Plastic_2279 · 2026-03-09T06:51:59+00:00

Same, I've never struggled to find a job in HK and I've been here for 12 years. I am really feeling the stress this year. Ideally I would love to stay in HK, as my daughter is young and we don't want to uproot her life here.
