    Qualifications and nationality

    I know for the vast majority (if not all) of English teaching jobs you're expected to be coming to China on a passport from one of the 4-5 countries with "acceptable" English as their main official language. I also know that for many jobs you're expected to have a University degree and experience in teaching English. However, there are some positions open to people without a University degree or experience. Does anyone here know if some of those positions are also open to TESOL certified people who don't have a UK/US/CA/AU passport? How viable is teaching English in China as a profession to someone from a non-English speaking country? Not as a means to earn a great salary but as a temporary profession to stay afloat or as a fallback/plan B?

    With the new policies, it's harder now to get a job as a non native speaker. Some schools could get you to work legally but you might have to deal with all the paperwork, authentication and such.

    When my friend was looking for a teaching job in China she often got rejected once they saw that she was asian. This is not to say that all schools will reject you, because eventually she was offered a job in Dalian. So if you really wanna teach in China keep trying & good luck!
