English teacher job in China with an Asian appearance

Oh it's not as bad as you would think. If you are outgoing and personable you won't have any trouble. i have many friends who are Asian or ABC Chinese and they are quite successful. It's all in your attitude.  Best of luck.

Having some experience with this... It depends on the School or Learning Center where you're trying to get hired.  It also has to do with the students parents...
They will say you have a chinese accent even if you have never spoken a word of chinese a day in your life.  If you speak chinese I would pretend you have no idea what they are saying.
I have been in the situation where both teachers were accepted and where they had a very difficult time.  It wasn't due to the qualified teachers... it was parents and admin.

Ok, thanks. So I guess you are Asian and you managed to get a teaching job in Shanghai then?

I mean....I can't even get a job right now because the first thing they ask for is a photo....

I'm wondering now what other jobs ABCs do in China as I really want to go.

Not an Asian.  Just helped with hiring.  And I've seen it from that angle.

Ah ok, well....looks like I'm going to have to approach this job hunting differently then. Anyway, thanks for the reply.
