Since you will have a spouse resident visa, you don’t have to worry about not being from a native English speaking country. If a buxiban will accept you, you’re good. Make sure you make the school know that you don’t need a resident visa or work permit so they don’t automatically deny you.
That’s what I think.
After marriage, you get spousal visa (ARC), which gives you open work rights. That means any company can hire you, even 7-Eleven.
just in case you mean OP is not from a native English speaking country, the Philippines is a native English speaking country.
I know the government is hiring Filipino teachers for the teach Taiwan program. So id say it’s a good idea to apply to the program (assuming you have a teaching license? You do need a teaching license). Also the salary chart was recently updated, but you only got that increase if you were hired directly by the program (vs hired by the contracted recruitment company). So if that’s a possibility, I’d reccomend doing that. Although one caveat is that the government program can place you anywhere in Taiwan including kinmen
Yeah. So is India and myriad other places. But, not considered so by Taiwan or the buxiban owners.

Listen, I moderate a few Facebook pages that are dedicated to English teaching in Taiwan. I know what I’m talking about. 95% of job offers are only for people from the USA, UK, Ireland, Aus, NZ, SA. They want whiteys. It doesn’t matter that you are a “native speaker” from Zimbabwe, Jamaica, India, etc.
Jobs for people from the Philippines want to pay you in lunch boxes and potato chips. Unless you have serious credentials, that’s how it is.
I know it’s mean and racist, but c’est la vie.

Have you stood on a thorn or something, Mr Lion? You want Androcles to take a look?
There’s a big difference between sugar coating the truth and just forcing someone to eat shit. Maybe consider straddling that line with a little more empathy? The poster is looking for support, not a kick in the back over the edge of a cliff.

Giving people a realistic view of how things actually are is a kindness in the long run.

No. You are telling it as you see it. Your beliefs are skewed by your experiences.
And telling it like it is is a massive cop out. Just being honest, is an equally redundant phrase.

I’ve been here for 21 years, mate. I read all the social media job pages. What I stated is a fact, not an opinion.

The British Council run a young learners extension for CELTA. Taking that as a start would be my recommendation. It might open some interesting doors, especially as you will have open work rights.

I don’t think a realistic picture is being painted. It’s also not very community minded to say she will get paid in potato chips and be racially discriminated against 95% of the time.
That a fact?
You know what I’m saying. The truth doesn’t have to be covered in shards of metal and rammed down someone’s throat.
Strange to meet so many Canadians here, they must be terrible teachers if the demand for them is so low!
Yes, it is. And I don’t want to get embroiled in an altercation with you about it.
