Q: Risk of Lockdown Spreading to Your City?

Just noticed, in my area of city, some stores are quietly dismantling shelves and sections of stores; some shops/places of business are already shut down; entrance requirements at various places have become more rigorous.

 

Anyone else worried?

As a teacher living on a Suzhou high school campus, I am in lockdown now. All seniors who are studying for GaoKao, admin, senior's teachers, cleaning staff, and cooks are all required to stay on campus until next Wednesday. Although I do not teach the seniors, I do live on the campus. So, I am stuck here. No food or mail deliveries allowed either. Thankfully, the company I work for has arranged to have someone go shopping for the teachers of our department. It is an inconvenience only. Hopefully, the government will not extend the lockdown, but I think they will extend.

I would strongly suggest anyone not in lockdown to stock up on food, water etc if you haven't already, just in case.

 

Omicrom spreads fast so it seems likely more cities will get locked down. I'm sure everyone has been watching the news, food delivery services are likely to be pushed to their limit and availability of your preferred foods might not be a given.

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
