NO degree.....immediate RED FLAG!!
You MUST have a verifiable degree to teach in China, or you will NOT get a Z-Visa from SAFEA, or a FEC from SAFEA.
End of.
It's a scam.
At worse, "they" will 'buy' you a fake degree and credentials.
Good luck with that in Beijing! (at least aim a little lower.....a boonie township in Henan Province.......)
Your Z-visa will be scammed and your documents faked.
YOU will be the one in prison, fined, and deported, with, at least, a 3-year ban (and worldwide no-fly listing!).
But, heck..........some folks gotta learn the hard way.
Oh, mea culpa!! You will SAVE at least a couple of thousand RMB.......well, whoopdee do! Have you ANY idea what the fines are when you are caught? (and you will be!)
Believe me - not a penny will come out of the SCAM RECRUITERS pockets!!
Wake up.

Thanks for that Doogs.
So it is in Beijing the Job I have been offered.
Also no accomodation that is why they put us up in a hostel for the 15 days until we find a place I guess.
I have spoke with them and they insisted that they will be able to get me my Z visa. They know I do not have the legal requirements for a degree also. (No degree/BA, Teaching for over 2 years etc etc) However they said the inivitation will be for a Z visa still.
Also I would be moving over to beijing with a friend who I would be sharing/renting an apartment with which I guess would save me a couple thousand rmb? |

Just realised we probably don't have 'photocopying allowance' in the list.
Important where supplied resources are inadequate or non-existent.
May be rationed i.e. a limit on copies per month or grudging access to a copier but no limit.
Also worth bumping this thread to the top again given that public school offers are probably being finalised now for Sept start. |

The consideration of how long a teaching hour is important as this can vary and can be as little as 35mins.
In addition to teaching hours per week, the requirement for non-teaching or office hours is something that should be factored onto the list. Whether it's a full time 40hr/wk position, a set number of office hours, or you just teach your classes and you have a significant amount of free time. |

A lot of hours/teaching hours things were captured earlier but doesn't hurt to repeat.

| Sick days? |
How many sick days are typical? Particularly for public school?
...or are they typical at all? |

Depends. When I worked at a international school we were suppose to have 2 sick days a month, after my first week I broke my leg and was away for about 3 weeks, still got paid because the principal was a foreigner.
In the university I called in sick a few times because I got a cheaper flight 2 days before the official holiday, no problems. No one checked.
In the middle school they were so tight it was unreal. If I was sick they'd withdraw pay.
That's always, for me, a massive downside to a job if a sick day is not paid. Often in language centers that is the case. |

Thanks, Larson. Yeah, I'm looking at a contract now that offers 3 days for the whole year. Seems an awfully small amount for a public school. Maybe par for course with that middle school of yours.
It's been a long time since I've used sick leave, but it's nice to know it's there if you need it. Anyway, thanks, again. |
