Hello everyone,
Are there any schools in China, especially in Hong Kong, that specialize in hiring qualified newbies with no experience? I am looking to get hired while still located in the U.S., any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

I know of only 2 HK kindergartens for sure that will hire inexperienced teachers from outside of HK. One of those is Deborah kindergarten which has a thread on this board and who is regularly advertising on Dave's. They will only hire female teachers for their HK branches, but will hire males for their Chinese branches.

You may have to start at the bottom end and work your way up here. There are many well-qualified teachers already in HK.

Hey Poof,
Thanks for the response. I just might, actually, check them out. I don't have any problems working kindergartners, or at least, I don't think I will have any problem. So what are the outside branches? Since I am a male considering this position. Thanks for your help.

Try becoming a Primary School NET - they accept degree holders in any subject with no experience.
