Q: Can Filipino find an English teaching job in China?
12 years 22 weeks ago in Teaching & Learning - China
Yes. But it will be very difficult to find & your pay will not be as high as the typical white foreigner they normally higher.
I lived in Thailand for a number of years; I think you would have more luck there.
Things will change in China but for now it might be difficult
I am sure you can. You just have to be very patient in looking for the right job... Find a good company who will support your documents and such.
It is NOT IMPOSSIBLE. I have been in China for 5 years and I've never had any difficulties in finding a job.
Good luck.
PS I enjoy the same benefits/ wage as my American/British/Etc counterparts 
What I'm saying is... IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE 
jairoa:
Yes you can find a job. I have a lot of Filipino friends who earn more than other nationalities. However be careful to agency that take a lot from your salaries.
No you are not native English speakers. The only way you will have any chance is if you falsify your CV/Resume and educational certificates to indictate you studied overseas.
Definitely yes as long as you have working visa not as a tourist visa
I think it depends on your academic qualifications and most importantly your English language proficiency. If it is native level without strong philippine accent, you can stand a chance. Otherwise, the chance is pretty slim.
There are many teachers in China whose native language is not English. It may just take longer finding the job, and perhaps the first job you take may be for a bit less money.
There are Iranians, Africans, Europeans, and all types teaching English here. Some of them make great teachers.
Good Luck.
