Thank you very much for your rapid replies with recommendations.
I feel important now.
Could you please answer my second question?
Is February a good time to come and where should I start?
Thanks

Dear Peter

I have been told that we will go on Holidays on the 14th January.
Chinese new Year is the 9th February next year I believe, which means that the new Semester will commence shortly after that, about the middle of February.

You can certainly try to come for interviews from the middle of February on; the second semester commences then, so some universities do accept job applications. Then, there also are training centres that actually hire all year round.

If you want to work for a Uni, mid-february is a better time to come in IMHO. In other to retain you for the fall, the school will give you a 12 months contract (with paid summer vacation) instead of those crappy 10 months contracts that are advertised as of late.
