a TEFL or TESOL credential.<\/p>\n

Teaching experience of two years.<\/p>\n

To my surprise, neither a TEFL certificate nor two years of previous teaching experience<\/a> were a condition for me to be hired as an ESL teacher in Urumqui, Xinjiang.<\/p>\n

Because of the high demand for foreign instructors, schools in China<\/a> will be more ready to relax the requirements<\/a> for hiring foreign teachers.<\/p>\n

Schools are more ready to waive the criteria for a TEFL or teaching experience if you are wishing to teach in a less frequented area of China like Urumqi or Harbin.<\/p>\n

Competition for employment in places like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen<\/a> is fierce, therefore having a TEFL and teaching experience can help you get hired.<\/p>\n

There are a variety of ESL professions available in China, and each one has its own advantages and disadvantages. Finding teaching employment<\/a> in China is easier if you know where in China you want to teach English.<\/p>\n
