Q: Do you know when is the best time to find a teaching job in China? Is the middle of september ok?
7 years 37 weeks ago in Teaching & Learning - China
ESL is best around October or December or May and June.
It depends what you're looking for. If you want a training center job, those can be found anytime because people's contracts are always ending, they're not based on semesters.
If you want a uni or public school job, they typically come up near the end of semesters, unless someone leaves early for whatever reason and the school needs someone urgently..
ESL is best around October or December or May and June.
September usually sucks as a time to start looking, because that's when the semester starts, and schools will usually have all their staff in place by then.
You want to start looking now (well, actually, a month or 2 ago).
The jobs you'll be finding in and after September are the one's where someone didn't show up, or they came and went.... and you have to start asking why.
As Stiggs said - training schools will take anyone anytime. But check the legality of those jobs!
