I've seen a couple of English based companies that seem to offer a good deal on a placement in China, but I'm not too sure about them. Does anyone know about or has dealt with:

http://www.englishinternational.info/
http://www.titicacatravel.com/ ?

Thanks.

It seems strange that a company named "titicacatravel" would have job placements in China; particularly since Lake Titicaca is in Peru.

One wonders if "titicacatravel" is more along the lines of i-to-i (www.i-to-i.com), which advertises a bunch of volunteer opportunities (as well as an extremely substandard TEFL certification).

Just get to Beijing and look for a job. Way easier than fanning around with agencies. 10 years in China as an ESL teacher, I know what I am talking about.

There's a China forum, which I guess is probably where most of the 'experts' on China in general post regularly...maybe try there for more info?

Why not just do your own job search instead of paying someone else to do what you can do for yourself?

Why don't you just answer the posted question or stay out of it? I've recently qualified and don't know how the industry works yet. In case you haven't got it, asking this question IS me doing my own research - I don't know, so I'm asking people who, hopefully, do.
