Complete newbie here.
To get a university job, do you contact them directly e.g. through their web site or by email or is their another recruiting method?
I have a Masters degree in computer sciences (a few years old now) as well a TESL certificate and about 3 years of full time ESL teaching experience in Canada. That should help me to land a nice gig, right?
Thanks |

Hi Ryan,
Some of the more organised Unis have job links on their homepages, but not that many. If you can search through their websites and find the Foreign Affairs Officer's email address you could apply directly... but that's assuming the contact isn't 3 years out of date. Unis don't usually setup institutional email accounts for staff in China... they might have to be accountable for their actions if so...
Most people would apply by replying to the job ads on websites like this one. You do know that Daves has dozens of new job offers every day, don't you?  Do a G00GLE on ESL teach China University etc. and you'll soon find heaps of other job ad websites too. I like ESL Teachers Board.
With your M.CS and teaching experience you might be better off looking more at the IB (International Baccalaureate), International School, or Uni Preparation programs around China. Assuming you want to earn good bucks teaching more in your major field.
More professional work environment, with the top operators at least, although you will also probably be busier than in a basic Chinese Uni ESL job. But, teaching at high school level shouldn't pose much difficulty and so reduce time spent on lesson prep etc.
Can we assume that you have a CELTA/RSA ESL teaching qualification already too?
Good luck,
LFA
