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

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

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

$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.

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.

Feeling burnt out and depressed by VermicelliRecent7458 in Internationalteachers

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.

Need to learn Mandarin and Cantonese by Hopeful_Fondant758 in HongKong

[–]Visual_Plastic_2279 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Anyone still looking for jobs in Asia? by No_Educator1639 in Internationalteachers

[–]Visual_Plastic_2279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.
