1. Apply at FindJobz, top L corner of this screen!

 

2. Have a look over the Internet with "Requirements for an English teaching job in China" in search for more details.

You could also look at the guidance titled "How to use an Internet, search engines in particular ..." for more in-dept web knowledge.

 

3. As you can see from no. 2,, main requirement for an ET job in China is holding of a native English passport (UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and S. Africa), no different than anywhere else in the world.

 

4. Non-English native passport holders qualify for an ET job in China only if they hold a BA degree or higher completed in the native English country.

However, most recruiters and hiring managers in China aren't aware of that exemption, so if you hold a degree or two from one of the native English countries, I suggest you include that into Introduction letter.

 

Good lucky!

 

P.S.

Application for the NASA's Moon-to-Mars Program at the Cape Canaveral is less stringent than applying for an ET job as a non-native Englisher ...

That of course, is an opinion of a non-English native teacher with extensive English teaching experience in several different countries.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
