It seems all these dam agencies want is unqualified, near English speakers.
I had a nice job as a center manager lined up, but it fell apart. The reason being they are insolvant before they even start.
Well back to job hunting. If nayone has any suggestions, please forward them to me.

| Chris..I thought you were going to work as a private tutor and also offer your curriculum and teaching to schools? Has this changed? |

Aha, forgot to reply.
Yes, back on track for going back to full time private tutoring. Just finally finished marking all the exams from my uni. courses. NEVER AGAIN.
I have decided to advertise for private students, alas my dam pay cheque is late, can't do much until that arrives.
TT programmes, well plenty of demand, just getting the cash out of them is diffiuclt. Everyone wants something for nothing, or the old, well we need to have x people for the workshops, we will tell you when we have enough applicants.
Well to date, the situation is......"drum role please" When I get my final piggy cheque, I will be teachign small groups from my home.
Just need to find and hire some cretins to hand out flyers in the street. Maybe a post office direct mail shot too.
I will let you all know how it goes.
The religously inclined may pray for a swift deposit of my final pay cheque too.

| Chris, have you tried advertising in local mags, like HK Magazine, local business mags, etc.?? I knew someone a few years ago who had a lot of responses from an ad in HK mag classifieds (the pull-out at the back). |

I tried that may years ago
It didn't seem to work for me.
I think flyers handed out in the street and direct mail may be the best for me.
I am only looking for a small number of students. |
