I just received this reply from a Recruiter. It kind of pisses me off. The tone and attitude of this recruiter, just like the other one that said school's don't want me because of my asian face.
Hi,
Please revise your CV and emphasize your teaching experience, I do not need your experirence on fitness or hospital. except no TEFLor TESOLcertifcate, the other disadvantage of you is an asian face. So for you if you lower your requirement I may find a job for you. I have a few positions but salary is 8000-10000 with free apt and meals. If you are interesting please let me now.
Thanks! |

| That's not surprising given you don't have a TEFL cert or TEFL experience. Why are you applying to positions you're not qualified for? |

I didn't apply for any of these positions though. I just posted my resume and created a profile on seriousteachers and then I got spammed with these recruiters asking me if I'm interested in a job. He asked me what my salary range was and I gave him a slightly higher number because I know they like to lowball.
He replied back afterwards and told me this:
"The different schools have different offer. I have a client in Beijing wants teacher to teach in Elementray school or high school, work 10 months, each month 16000 without free apt, but free lunch, another position in Yinchuan, Ningxia Province, 12000 plus free apt and meals. A few positions in Hangzhou $8000-9000 with free apt and meals."
I'm leaning more towards the Hangzhou since I want to go to Shanghai often. Is 8000-9000 a reasonable offer? |

Salary sounds too high for a new teacher such as yourself with no teaching qualifications. If I were you I would be wary.
Seriously, if your aim is to maximise income why don't you look at some teaching positions in HK? Even without a TEFL you could be making 20,000 HKD if you present yourself well and do a good job in the interview. |

The same recruiter told me this.
"May I ask what is your original nantionality? I will contact my client to see which position fits you. Thanks!"
How should I phrase this. I was born in Vietnam and came over to Canada when I was like 4 years old. My background is Chinese though. How racist are Chinese towards Vietnamese people? I'm already getting a good since of discrimination from my own people.
It says on my passport that I was from Vietnam. Should I tell them I'm chinese or Vietnamese? |

I've gotten a few offers in the ranges between 5500-10,000. Most are in the range of 8400-10,000. |

Without being interviewed?

Hmm... You've suggested HK several times yet haven't received a solid response from the OP. |
