What kind of job are you looking for?
Maybe you can be qualified to teach Spanish. Many people learn Spanish. You cant teach English unless you hold a passport from a few certain countries.
Also, do you hold any relevant qualifications?
any kind as long at is work
Is your CV well put together? Teaching jobs should be findable.

That’s a problem as long as we don’t know your background and qualifications … just getting work is impossible for most foreigners if not qualified.

That’s so much as no qualification … if you’re not married to a Taiwanese citizen or have an APRC forget it getting legal work …
You don’t get a job by writing ‘help me’.
Does that mean you got an associate degree?
Carlos, dude! As of my writing this, your post has had 130 views, yet only 6 replies. Now, forumosans are renowned for being, on the whole, a VERY helpful and sympathetic community. So why so few replies?
Firstly, starting a thread entitled “help me” is a sure-fire recipe for derision. Sure, people are going to click on it out of interest, but when they see, secondly, that you couldn’t be bothered to capitalize nor punctuate your writing, they’re just going to, rightfully, sneer and walk away. Show some respect to the people who you’re asking a favor from. Put some effort into your request, otherwise you come across as lazy and naive. Writing from a mobile is no excuse, either.
I’ve taken the liberty of amending your thread title. Please try to reply in a readable manner in future, and I guarantee that the fine folk here will walk the extra mile. Good luck! 
kindy
As kindy teaching is illegal to foreigners you can not go any more illegal than that … actually, kindy teaching is illegal for Taiwanese to without the qualification … so, go for it!
hi!
I just been through the job searching quest in Taiwan, although I found a job not related to teaching or transleting, I had an experience with the job banks websites and interview processes. So I’ll try to help.
As many recommend, it’s a good thing to look at the websites “104.com.tw” or “1111.com.tw”. Those are job banks filled with positions for locals, but also for foreigners.
If you speak Spanish and English, than it’s a good idea to type “spanish” or “english” on the free search botton, and go through the results.
those websites are entierly written in Chinese so it’s a good idea to have a local friend build a profile.
When I was looking for a job, I wrote my native language at the search line and got some translating, or technical writing job postest. But apperantly, no one wants a Hebrew teacher, I guess Spanish is more popular.
I am not sure how it’s gonna work with the Work permit issue tought, since I found an Engineering job, and was requirered for some proof of education and experience.
Best of luck.
That’s what I’m talking about … no qualification, no legal job! As simple as that.
Exactly. Carlos does not fulfill the qualifications, he cannot work in Taiwan legally, anything we say to encourage is not helpful.
At the risk of sounding microagrressive, here it goes:
Dear Carlos,
Thank you for your interest in working in Taiwan but you cannot do so legally. The requisites are simple: at least two years certifiable experience, and a 4 year college degree. Otherwise, you cannot work legally teaching English (which is reserved to only 6 nationalities, on top of that) or Spanish , nor in an office or even a restaurant.
We cannot advise illegal work either as it is highly controlled here and you could end up in jail, which is very unpleasant.
As you can see, this has nothing to do with availability or possibility of finding work -of which there is, but the market is tight right now, as it is all over the world, plus as a foreigner you won’t exactly meld in the crowd -, as much as your own qualifications.
Estimado carlos:
Los requisitos para trabajar en Taiwan son sencillos: dos annos de experiencia comprobada y un titulo universitario de una carrera de 4 annos. No, no puedes trabajar legalmente dando clases de ingles ni de espannol sin estos requisitos, tampoco en oficina, ni siquiera en restaurante.
No recomendamos el trabajo ilegal ya que aca la ley esta muy atenta a esas cosas -como extranjero, destaca entre la multitud- y puede facilmente terminar en la carcel por un buen rato, y la carcel aca no es nada agradable.
No es tanto el problema de que haya trabajo -que cada vez hay menos, pero eso es un problema mundial- sino que si esta o no calificado.
What did you do till now in terms of search?
- Did you went to see the Spanish representative here?
- Do you envision internships ? ( for which I presume a qualification might not be required?)
The more you provide us relevant info, the easier it is to confront you with might be a less favorable truth.
Success anyway.
An aside: I know of a sneaky Canadian who has been legally teaching on a 2 year degree. Grey area?
Edit: Saw this in another thread. Thanks Tom
