Finding a job here is better and frankly, fairly easy. the only reasons I can think of for you not already having an offer is 1. Timing (late december/early february is best for the next semester, july/august for fall term) 2. you’re black (depending on the school/location that can be a deal breaker though it is easier if you are american and have lighter skin tone. In Chengdu public school and entertainment seem to be the easiest gig for black people. Sometimes they can get jobs at training schools if there is a good relationship) 3. You’re old/boring (same problem. they want us active and out going. Old/boring people dont last long working with kids) 4.You’re super ugly (seems fairly common if you take into account how hot the average teachers here are (not including uni teachers). We are walking advertisements, training schools will use your image to sell the school. If your image sucks, the school wont sell. it’s just that simple.
But anyway, all of those things can be gotten around, you just need to be here and develop your contacts. Good relationships are thekey to jobs in China and the longer you are here the better your job prospects will get.
