I have heard it's especially difficult for ABCs to get teaching jobs at buxibans. So far I have done some research and the consensus is that Hess hires ABCs. Are there any other schools in Taiwan that will hire ABCs? Is it a lot easier to get a teaching job in China as an ABC? Thanks in advance.

Hess aren't picky. They can't afford to be due to the HUGE turnover of staff. However, Western born teachers of Asian origin aren't exactly popular with the Chinese teachers. I know 2 that were racially abused at work and hounded out of their jobs. One of them was even abused by the school manager. I'd think twice about working there.

Kojen also take ABC/CBCs.

Babar, you must have had some nasty people at your school. I would say that the overseas born Chinese teachers did well at my schools, in fact they were able to integrate more than us whiteys and probably got more of a cultural experience out of it.

Since there are probably more jobs than teachers I would not be worried. It might be harder but there are plenty of ABCs with English teaching jobs. If you have a Taiwanese passport I would look into private high school jobs since foreigners are not allowed to work in a high school unless that are qualified teachers. Taiwanese can do so since they don't need a work permit.
