YIKES! Most of these companies need references for teaching younger children. But NOT one of my current companies provides this. They claim we are independent contractors and suggested downloading copies of our reviews from parents. But these are NOT contactable references.
I’ve been teaching online for the last four years. However since China has declared it basically illegal, I’ve not had enough European base to continue doing this full-time. That prompted me to go try to find a job. Except I have a three or gapped it looks like I was in prison because that’s the first question people ask me. How long was I in jail for or what was I in jail for. I tried to log onto the website and show them where I had been teaching. They said without someone to talk to to verify my skills they weren’t interested. I tried to show them contracts to prove that I had been employed. The response was great you weren’t in prison now where is your references. Online teaching was one of the most rewarding jobs that I ever had. I truly loved doing it. It broke my heart when it went away. Careerwise it was probably one of the most devastating blows to my ability to be employed. And that’s before you even consider that these are all 1099 screw your taxes jobs if you’re inside the US.
@@acetibular Hello :) I'm having the same issue here :( Did you, by any chance, encounter a School that would take us (as it seems) undercover-working online English Teachers?
@@filipastojsavljevic3506 I went back to my brick and mortar school. Everyone wants references and they’re just not available. I can show them contracts proving that I’ve worked there but no references
Upon checking, it seems that the company changed their application link. Unfortunately, the website didn't update their article but if you explore their website you'll find a long list of ESL companies there. 🙂
If you mean online Chinese schools, they can not hire all foreigners , including native English, who are outside of China. If you mean in class teaching, it depends on exact province, but exactly at this period of time it is almost impossible to get a job there if you want to get a work visa in for the first time in China.
Hi, unfortunately, I'm not affiliated with any of these companies. I can only provide you the information that was stated in the site. You can explore the site, if you want to :)
