Q: Strange to ask part-time job to pay bi-monthly?

Recently I have been looking for a part-time job with little success due to the fact every company I talk to refuses to pay bi-monthly. I thought the whole idea of a part-time job was to earn extra money with more regularity than your full-time job. I've had people go from begging me to work for them to telling me that people that need to be paid twice a month are unstable. I'm like WTF?!! In my mind this is a part-time job and they aren't providing me with an apartment or legal working visa, so paying every two weeks seems okay.

 

What do you think? Is it wrong to ask to be paid every two weeks?

Payroll is monthly in China if legal. Cash on the barrel head for under-the-table jobs.

Be thankful that they're not asking you for the equivalent amount in fapiaos!

I ask to be paid weekly at all part-time jobs. Private classes too.

it's not strange. Considering how much Chinese like to withold your paychecks, I think it's a good idea to try requesting it. That way, you won't be out as much money if they decide to withold your paycheck.

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
