Q: What's the fastest way to search for non-native English teaching positions
What's the fastest way to search for non-native English teaching positions only?
11 years 38 weeks ago in Teaching & Learning - China
Sorry maybe my question is not clear enough. What I want to know is how to obtain results in priority for non-native English teachers in echinacities
according to my experience 90-95% ads mention native speaker as their first requirement. the remaining 10% ads don't mention native or non native... So it is very rare that you will find an ad targeting non native speakers...
P.S.. A tip for you
If you want to add or minus something from your question or you want to explain it more clearly you can simply edit your question and modify it.
Try all...you never know. I am non-native as well. After 4 years in China I have no problems finding a new job. Not sure if you are in China...

I agree, keep trying, the ones who keep trying do find jobs.
Send your CV, supporting docs., and pic EVERYWHERE!
Don't worry for 'Native English Teacher' requirement! I consider that only as 'School's wish'!
Schools won't reply, if they aren't interested. Don't worry!
Never stop sending your CV, till you don't land a job. Good luck!
Follow this procedure:
1. Do a facial surgery and tell your doctor that you want to look like caucasian, then focus on your eyes, nose, and chin,.
2. Implant a blue lens in your eyes, other color might works but Chinese love blue eyes.
3. Implant blonde hair on your head, red color might works but there is a chance you will lose your soul.
Google: ESL English Teaching China "Non-native"
It will only show the results containing exactly "non-native", you can also try with "European" or "[Insert your nationality]".
Try to search in second tier cities, they are less picky and some second tier cities are actually more livable (cheaper rents, less crowded, less polluted) and have more shopping options than first tier cities (e.g. Shenzhen, Foshan, Xiamen, ...)
There's no easy way. Non natives have it tough here. However, you'll stand a better chance if you go for subject teaching positions. Leave English to the natives. They are in a better position to teach English anyway. But if you insist on teaching English, then go to smaller cities. In bigger cities you'll have very little opportunities. Call it whatever you want but that's how it is here.

Dunno about that, met a number of non-native teachers in top 2 tier cities, but sure if you don't have a good accent or smell bad or what not, you'll do better in the smaller places, where they can pass off a Russian as American maybe.
youll probably have to go to the more rural areas where native speakers dont go.
Or you can improve your language so that your skills truly impress them
