Q: Are there any second hand shops in Beijing?

I want to clear out some clothes and they're all in good condition- Does anyone know of a second hand shop or Goodwill type thing I can donate them to?

Not really, people will just sell them. If you really wanna give it to people that can use it. Fold them, put them in a bag and put them beside your garbage , not in. Within minutes some super poor old lady, perhaps your underpaid cleaners. Will find them. And most certianly take them home for her family. Too be nice, you might wanna put any old canned goods you dont plan on using in the bag too.

Thrift collects old clothing, sells the ones they like and the rest is given to charity.
There are collection boxes in some Beijing venues. Not sure where...try The Local in Sanlitun area.
At some H&M stores you can find collection boxes. You get a discount when you donate clothes. I don't know where those clothes go to. Maybe to the kids who make their products...

Q: Do I have to be native speaker to teach English literature?

A: You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holdi

A:You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holding English Teaching license in your home country.2nd: Your BA degree should be completed in a native English country. Once, you fulfilled these 'parameters', you qualify for an English teaching job in China as a non-native English sneaker with Z - Entry/Working visa with Working and Residence permit later on. See the last 'Answers Highlight' ---> there is a web link posted about 'requirements for teaching English language in China as a non-English native passport holder'. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china#paragraph-item-63614-target

*English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL). I'd say, Chinese will choose and look especially for a native English speaker at teaching of English Literature job openings. Posted job adverts for English Literature teaching are most likely from International Schools in China. Good luck! -- icnif77
