Have not seen any one yet, but my guess is that they would use a fat Chinese, they are cheaper. Now, how do you say "Ho, Ho, Ho" in Mandarin ?

DaBen:

Hire Chinese? What are you talking about? The real Santa always shows up to anything like this. Traveling around to all this different shopping malls and Christmas parties is how he gets warmed up before he has to pull his all-nighter on Christmas Eve.

A:1. Native speaker. 2. Bachelor's degree, minimum. Apostilled. They stopped recognizing online degrees several years ago. . 3. Either a teaching certification from your home country/iPGCE or a 120 hrs TEFL course. Apostilled 4. Criminal background check from your home country issued within the past 6 months. Apostilled. This is rigid. The only legal loopholes for non-native speakers to legally teach are if they're already certified as a subject teacher in their home country, or if they obtained their degree in one of the designated native English speaking countries. -- Spiderboenz
