Try the following:

or

http://www.eslcafe.com/joblist/ (sound familiar?)

There are many more out there. My goodness people - - shop around, send out a dozen resumes. Ask them a lot of questions. Lately I'm reading posts where people are saying they can't find jobs or are only tracking down a limited amount. Where here are two places that have dozens of new listings every day! There's still plenty of time (but don't drag your heels too long) to find a (hopefully) half-way decent job in a location best suited for your needs.

PS: There are many more sites out there; these two just seem rather fruitful is all.

You probably don't realize the fact that these seem to be far more job seekers than jobs available. Crying or Very sad

Kev, Thanks for the information. Stuck in Hefei until February and then I 'll try something new. Unless I meet somebody.

Yes, you're right. It is hard to determine if there are more schools or job seekers, but many people who post their resumes are possibly inappropriate [non-native speakers, unqualified, inexperienced, etc.], repeats, or just fishing around, like myself. I posted my resume on several sites last year just to see what kind of offers I might get. I still get a couple, ineveitably comic, from China every few days. That's what makes me think there is a shortage of teachers, not a surplus, there.

But again it's kind of hard to judge just based on this little bit of info.
