Hey all. I am searching for a job during the summer starting in August and finishing in September, any clues where to find it ? cause I got a job in July in Hangzhou, but I wanna stay till the very end (28th) of September. Do you guys have any idea where to go/search ?? For any help thank you in advance.

Not going to happen. MOST summer jobs will start sometime in early to mid-July and MOST will end by mid-August or so. Schools start up pretty much nation-wide on September 1st. You might get a temporary job at an English center such as English First, but even most of those want a 3, 6, or 12 month contract. You might try making some contacts with your July job in finding some private tutoring with students and/or parents you meet during this time.

And please god tell me you're not going to work for Global TEFL . . . or whatever they're calling themselves these days. If so, my guess is you will regret it and won't be able to wait until you can flee the country.

yyyyyy.... as a matter of fact I AM going to global TEFL...tell me please WHY I should not go there... cause that's the only job i'm going for now, and starting from there i wanted to go somewhere else to find jobs in china till the end of september...and next case:
if I really should NOT go to global TEFL, what places would you recommend then ?? it would be my first job abroad ever, hence i don't want it to be unsatisfactory... and i can apply for three months' contract starting from the very beginning of july, for i got ticket booked for June 28th
