You know, you don't need to tell us you aren't being racist just because you asked a question like the one you posted. Seriously, I doubt that you need to justify your question at all. Your question was fine as is. You are not guilty til proven innocent here...as far as I'm concerned anyway.

 

So, my answer would be that, yup, they want to see your face and check out your passport. They may well make an immediate determination upon the initial viewing. There's not a damn thing any of us can do about that. I'm Canadian so of course I pass that test.  Secondly, I am no spring's chicken so I suppose my age and experience usually moves me to the next step. Not necessarily in that order mind you.I have lots of relevant experience so that couple with my education makes me a candidate that most decision makers will want to get to know better.

 

To me, that makes sense.

 

Oh, and this may be one of the few situations where guanxi won't be of great benefit. However I could be wrong here....guanxi is a strange and powerful thing. As a matter of fact, i believe have been used by Chinese friends to get guanxi on a couple of occasions. That's ok too. What goes around here usually has a way of coming around.

Unfortunately....

1) White face is better

2) originate from a Western country

3) do your job and shut up

4) listen to what the boss says and shut up

 

I have always hated to work for a Chinese boss whatever they are from Hong Kong, mainland China or Taiwan....they are usually so arrogant that I wonder how a free Western mind could tolerate it.

By experience, I used to work for a company, and one day one of the top manager came to me to tell me that I needed to sell moon cakes to foreigners. I simply took his project and put it aside on my desk, never looking at it anymore.

LAR:

"they are usually................tolerate it." You need to include South Korea as well!!

All of what you mentioned in your question matters........from education to country status....everything matters because all are important but it differs from one employer to another which is more important and that my friend you can't guess cause you can't read people's mind and think which thing is more important to the person who is giving you the job

  What do they valve more? I don't know...spelling?

  Sorry man, cheap shot.

  I only know about teaching jobs in terms of what employers want and it can be summed up in one sentence: being a white westerner who can string a sentence together in English. Fortunately for me those are the only two qualifications I possess.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
