My colleague who has been teaching at a private international school in China for 2 years just sent this to me and it is so true... (I was wooed by over a dozen China job recruiters last year)

For anyone even thinking about teaching in China, prepare for the following lies and then read the links at the bottom so your wallet will not go on a sudden diet...

1.) You MUST have a TEFL certificate to teach English in China.

2.) You do not need a Z visa to teach in China for your first 90 day probationary period

3.) Foreigners have no employee rights in China for one year after arrival

4.) You really don't need a university degree to teach English in China

5.) Everyone works 6 days a week

6.) Marketing & Sales is part of every China foreign teacher's job

7.) The air and water pollution is not as bad as they say.

8.) You will save at least $20,000 a year working in China

9.) You cannot get a good job in China without a recruiter like me and TEFL certificate

10.) Once you sign a contract you are stuck in that crappy job for at least a year and if you quit you will be blacklisted and have your visa revoked.

Now here is the truth...

P.S. But even more important than the lies, is what a China job recruiter will never ever tell you: https://www.scam.com/showthread.php?704467-UPDATED-China-Liars-List-ESL-TEFL-Teacher-Job-Scams-Internships-Exporters-etc-BLACKLIST&p=1944475#post1944475[/code]

You know, if the recruiters and job agents were forced to tell the truth, their income would drop by 50%. Lies = sales. So they care most about money and least about their clients. I get my own jobs by using the employer contact list at https://reddit.com/r/cftu.
