Hi. I am 35 year old filipino engineer with a graduate degree units in language and literatureāenglish. Currently, I intend to have a carreer change and I believe teaching is what I can do well.
Is there a way for me to realize this dream and work in Taipei. I would really appreciate it, if anybody among you there can enlighten me on this matter and eventually give me leads on who can employ me.
I see no reason why not, with a graduate degreeā¦although you will face some prejudice most likely from people who want blond, blue-eyed Americans or Canadians as their first choice.
Impress them with your experience and credentials, your willingness to work and your team spirit. Anyway, if you speak Tagalog, Iāll gladly hire you part-time as a private tutorā¦
Thatās a good question. What I donāt know about is how you/your school would go about getting a work permit since youāre not from a ānative English-speakingā country. Iām sure you could do the study-Chinese-and-teach-English-illegally thing but it sounds like youād like a legitimate job. Can anyone answer his question more specifically?
