Are you planning to pursue your English teaching career in
abroad? If yes, I would personally recommend you to opt for China- the colossal
East Asian nation with an ever-expanding economy that has lately realized the
importance of English education and is thus, inviting deserving candidates from
all across the globe. Although an incredible opportunity, moving to a new
country and staying as well as working there stands to be quite a challenging
endeavor. In the following write-up, I have chalked down a few tips that would
make your first year here wonderful. Please do buy some time and take a close
look at the below-mentioned pointers.
• Teaching jobs in China could be a tad bit difficult specifically for the individuals from
the western countries because the concerned nation bears no resemblance with
their homeland, in terms of cultures. Thus, it would be better if you share
your accommodation with a Chinese roommate as he/she can help you in completing
the simplest chores such as clearing cell phone bills, paying daily utilities,
dealing with legal matters, etc., that otherwise would have consumed much of
your time and effort.
• Your first year
in China is going to be full of action. You need to travel to places thus, it
would be better to choose an accommodation near the subway station. Taking
buses or taxis would not be easy especially if you are not acquainted with the
common Chinese phrases and signs. Thus, heading for a subway is the only viable
option left. Memorizing the timings and names of stations would be of much help
as it could take you to your workplace or other any prominent location in no
time.
• While I agree
there are a series of things you can complain about, the best way to appreciate
and make the most out of your stay in China is through contributing. Starting
from picking up garbage to volunteering at old age homes- there are manifold
ways by which you can make China a better place to live in. Doing your part
would let you have an enjoyable and agreeable experience.
• Finally,
yet importantly, involving with an expat community would be extremely
beneficial. Living and working in China could be much difficult especially when
you do not know the native language. Even the common tasks like buying
necessities or ordering food could give you a headache. Getting together with
expats is sure to make your life a lot easier. They would not only provide you
with a homelike ambiance but also assist you in difficult situations.
The aforementioned
pointers are necessary tips to take into account before applying for the varied
teaching job vacancies in China. Keeping these in mind would make your
stay here easy.
