Yes yes that is the phrase that sums up my dealings with contracts in a chinese school. When I fist came to China I was na?ve and soft, not imagining that they would try to trick me. I mean they kept saying we were friends, they wouldn¡¯t trick me¡right? WRONG. I hate to sound negative because China is a big sprawling beauty of a country. BUT I want the newbies out there to watch out.

Ask: Do you work for the school or are you with a recruitment agency?
Say you will not come if you do not talk to a teacher from the school. We tried to contact a teacher, but he never replied.
If you sign a contract, make sure it has an official red stamp.
Do not go over on the wrong visa and expect the school to change it. Get the official invitation and do it yourself. My visa continues to be a pain in my ass.

Author: Jae Yang
1. There are some decent recruiters, but many of them are not!!!!
2. You will often have to sign 2 contracts. 1 is govt related the other is normally the in house contract the school will have you sign. Beware of them changing contracts on you at the last minute. If you are in the states have them sign terms with you B4 you go!!!!!
3. The govt schools pay less but normally you have to deal with less BS.
4. If you are serious about teaching in China, be prepared to do 2 years.
5. Have some basic people skills.

My Advice on Contracts
Details
|
Author: Lisa Stanley <lisastanley72(at)yahoo.com>
There are two particular clauses that prospective teachers need to be very careful about.
Firstly, I recommend avoiding schools which offer a base salary plus an hourly rate per teaching hour.
Secondly, be very wary of contracts that allow the contracting school to send you off to different schools in the area.
