Has anyone ever had dealings with this placement agency?
http://www.globalculturetaiwan.com
I hate it when this happens.
But, at first I thought I was dealing with the company itself with no middle man.
Only recently I found it was this agency.
Last time I contacted them through e-mail they asked,
'So, when are you getting here?'
I know some people do it, but I don't go anywhere without an offer first.
I haven't even had a skype interview yet.
If anyone has any first hand experience with this company or knows someone who has used them, please let me know. |

They are another parasitic agency. They don't have a business license, they don't pay tax, and they won't be any help when the job they've set you up with turns out to be a load of shite. Stay away from agents in general. |

| That was a company I had just applied with as well. I too, want a job prior to going to another country. I have done it with three other countries. Is this the norm for Taiwan? |

You have to wonder about a company that cannot find a teacher already in Taiwan.
If you were a business owner, would you hire someone over Skype or the telephone? |

| As I said, I have with three other countries and turned down two countries. Guess business owners in other countries don't always share your view when they want a native speaker. |

The better jobs in China and South Korea don't tend to hire over the internet. Yes, there are jobs because they cannot fill them with people already in the country. |

I can't offer advise on what is normal more times than not in Taiwan.
But, I have heard from a fair amount of others that its close to impossible to find teaching work in Taiwan if you do not have teaching credentials.
At first I felt some schools there may be interested in me because of my teaching experience.
But, this agency did give some basic warning signs so I backed off.
No other schools have contacted me from Taiwan ever. |

The demand can be filled with foreigners already in Taiwan.
People with teaching credentials can get jobs easily because the pay is only $2,000 a month. Certified teachers can earn a lot more than that elsewhere. |
