Q: Does anybody know when the winter holidays for teachers begin?

The Chinese teachers at my school always seem rather evasive when it comes to holiday periods. I was wondering if somebody on this forum is clued in with specific start and finish dates yet.

 

Cheers

In my school, we begin officially on the week of January 28 (week 21 of the school year), though some begin a week early, until February 22.

Yep, this is the answer that fits my school. Thanks

Depends on what kind of school you're teaching at. At university, I guess between late January until late February. At a high school or middle school, mid to late December, depending on how the run up to the exams is handled, until the beginning of March. At a Cram school, probably just the week of spring festival. Have you tried checking your contract? The dates might be included there.

A:Yes, you can get legal ET job by the Chinese Labor law.  Problem is, most Chinese managers and recruiters don't know, they can obtain Working permit for a non-native English teacher with BA completed in a native English country. I'd suggest, you mention possibility of legal employment for non-native English teacher with degree completed in a native English country at the first interview. It's a tough time in China at your example, IMO.  Most recruiters and hiring managers in China know only "ET must hold a native English passport ..", so your job application get dismissed right there. The other thing is, never stop sending your CV to the job offers doesn't matter if no replies. At my time in China (pre-2017), I'd send CVs to every offer posted daily.I've even disregarded advert's requirement 'native English passport holder', and ... I got a reply or two in a month time. Take the last paragraph as a rule! Good luck!   -- icnif77
