Q: Restrictive Recruitment Practices

I just noticed this headline in the job section:

 

FT Kindergarten Positions---Visa provided---M-F ONLY

 

It emphasizes that only MALES or FEMALES can apply.

 

Has anybody else seen examples of such a prejudicial or restrictive recruitment policy?

Wait, so you're neither male nor female? Are you androgynous? I mean even transgendered people tend to at least identify as either one or the other. 

 

Anyway, even if you are androgynous you haven't got much to worry about considering the, we'll say unique interpretation of masculinity that Chinese men who tend to work around young kids seem to have.

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
