1. Get ready for the MAIN INTAKE of teachers into China each year
* September 1 – Official start to the Chinese academic year
* Start sending out your resume and application in EARLY APRIL
* Leave around 2 MONTHS for the processing of your Chinese Z VISA
DOCUMENTATION
l Try to ensure your new employer has processed and provided you with your visa
documentation by EARLY JULY, because the summer school vacation periods starts in mid July through to late August
– during this time all Government schools are closed
April and May are the two months when most ESL teachers in China find out if they have a job in the coming year or not.
For people searching for ESL jobs it is important that they start sending out resumes at this point, in EARLY APRIL if they
want a chance at getting the best schools.
After May most of the first tier English schools – usually found in the larger cities and provincial capital cities - will have their
teachers chosen and preparing and processing of the teachers visa documentation.
This timing for English teaching jobs makes it possible for job hunters to plan when and where they want to apply for the
best results.
So I would suggest, “play it smart” and get in touch with one of ww.networkesl.com Recruitment Managers and discuss your
particular requests with them.
I am positive they will provide you with a suitable ESL teaching position and ensure prompt efficient and timely processing of
all your legal living and working documentation, well in advance of you actually traveling to China and taking up your ESL job
in China
