hi guys

My partner has recieved multiple offers from international schools in Beijing and Shanghai.

I am not qualified teacher. I am just an average office admin with a BA.

If I wasnt looking to be paid a large ammount, would i find it easy to find work in a BJ university? I wont need an apartment and I will happily accept ;ess money based on my lack of experience.

Am i completely dreaming?

If you have a BA you will be fine if you want to work for a language school.
Any difficulty finding a job will not be because of your qualifications or experience but instead more likely on your appearance and personality.

Present yourself well with an optimistic and outgoing personality and you will have no troubling finding employment

Just remember both cities are very big and you won't want to commute great distances on packed subways so keep your search local to where you will be living.

The major requirement in Beijing is that you can breath through Pea Soup.....and still instruct "chillen's" in the ABC's

It took me longer than I care to admit to understand what you were saying.

I am a decent looking (albeit a bit chubby) and out going so I don't feel my looks or personality will be an issue.

All the language school jobs I see are 35 hours plus. I need a job that give me the school holidays off and closer to 15 - 20 hours a week.
