Q: Lunch at work?

Does your company provide you lunch, do you cook and bring it, or do you get something in restaurants nearby?

My company doesn't provide lunch. I usually go to a nearby Chinese fast food place with some colleagues to eat. It's the cafeteria style so it has a lot of variety, and I can choose a bunch of dishes I like for 3-5 rmb average per dish. Comes with free soup/soybean milk/soda. I can pay with their membership card and get bonus money depending on how much I charge. I recently paid 600 to add 690 to the card. That pretty much pays for my lunch for the next two months.

My company gives workers a lunch card, we have a row of restaurants and fast food places outside they can use them at but i get bupkiss as i cant eat that crap.

I usually bring my own lunches as i have a fridge and microwave in my office and if i dont want to prepare lunch or leftovers i drive to mickey D's or the likes.

The places by your work place must really suck if you're driving to McDonald's for good food!

  I have a card for an enterprise restaurant in the industrial park we are in. We don't get lunch money. It's about 10 to 15 RMB for a meal. The quality of the food there went downhill little by little (rice tasting like wet paper, vegetables being mostly watery sponge), while the offer never changed, it's always the same dishes *every day*. So I go just in street restaurants around, same prices but more diversity.

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
