Qualifications
-----------------
White.
Female.
Young.
Good-looking.
Preferably Blonde.
---------------------
Also preferably a native speaker of english ... but Roumanians, Swiss, French, Fininnish etc can do.
An ability to speak some rudimentary English will also help.

Any genuine job ad, -take your pick on the net - will tell you what they want: Ph.D., 2800 a month etc. Some places want a photo, guess why, in which case Canuk's advice is spot on. Rumanianianians please apply. In truth, we're cynical. A degree or teaching certificate will help.

Canak

with reference to your latest load of misinformed garbage (my opinion only matie - you're a 'bit of a newboy' here (Dave's) huh!

I've got 3 degrees and 25 years teaching experience teaching English, Geography, later Chinese Language and then ESL.

My wife used to teach student teachers here how teach Chinese language and Chinese literature at a Shanghai University. She's a very smart lady!

I gave the 'daily runaround' and 'western teaching bulls.it experience' the big FLICK! Only problem was that I did it 10 - 15 years too late!

Sure, there are 'players' and 'pretenders' at universities here but pal the pretenders are heavily outgunned by those who are into service delivery on a par with the west at any educational level.

I'm by no means the most qualified amongst our 40 odd degree and post graduate degree holders where I am.

...............and mate, how about your status here?....how about your qualifications, experience, connections, present position etc.

You seem pretty keen on us gaining maximum exposure to your 'loads' but pal WHERE ARE YOU LOADS COMING FROM ?

............care to enlighten us...huh!

I really didn't want to start an argument here...sorry. But what really are the qualifications needed for a uni post in China? This is a serious request.

Well you have,but my message stands-bare minimum degree ,teaching qual. can be looked on kindly. Have you looked at recruiting sites yet? It's all spelled out for each vacancy advertised.

Dea Oz from OZ,
Just curious but isn't teaching ESL a step down for you both financially and professionally? Afterall, they take anybody when it comes to teaching ESL.You speak chinese, can't you get a job utlizing your chinese language skills?
