Hello Everyone,

I have been told by a university recruiter that the age requirements stated in many job advertisements are "rules in principle," and exceptions can be made. I am 57 years old and will be 58 next January. Is it possible for me to obtain work?

Thank You,

BZ

Yes very much so. There are people in their 70's teaching English here.

Hi thechangling,

Wow, I did not know that.

Thanks,

Strict adherence varies by locale but here in Dalian:
Cutoff age is 65 for newcomers to get a Z visa.
Anyone with a Z visa is grandfathered in and once you hit 65 renewal depends on your FAO's relationship with local PSB office.
