If you have to pay then it's not worth it. Do you pay for other job assistance back home? Paying for a job is a Chinese thing. It usually entails a secured position and is often under the table.

Paying for job info that is probably available elsewhere for free is something you shouldn't even have crossing your mind.

My fianc�e and I used this site after having it recommended to us by two principals at two different international schools (one in Hungary one in the Netherlands). We secured our first job at an international school within 3 weeks. we also had other interests from 2 further schools. It was certainly worth the fee ($40 i think ) for us. You also get access to a huge amount of job adverts and recruitment fares. If you're applying as couple only one of you needs to join as well.

A large amount of international schools (around the world, not just in China) use this site specifically for recruitment of new teachers so you are very unlikely to get a this level of information and exposure for free elsewhere.
