Rescue me

[quote=“ftattini”]

anyway, probably I’ll move to some small towns… it’d be easy to get a job as English teacher, altough my English is messy

Thx everybody[/quote]

Maybe the job to teach kids English is not that demanding.

Sometimes it’s more like baby-sitting. :wink:

Anyway, I think you might be able to get a English-teaching job for kids in a small town.

And your English is good enough for teaching kids.

Cheers!

Or this “Italian Department” in Fu-jen University?

Anyway, just some information to let you know that some people in Taiwan are learning Italian.

I know some of them want to go to Italy to study fashion design.

i thanks everybody for the messages and help. I know that italian language school (Italia Oggi, near Sogo) as well as ALL the other european language schools. They can’t hire me coz i got no any university degrees (expecially in chinese language). Recently seems the good luck is giving me an hand… i got a (potential) student, and probably i’ll start to work in a small kindergarden in Taipei County… and then, seems there are other good news in sight…
I won’t make any promises, but if i got a job, and had a stable life, i’d like to pay a beer to everybody who answered me! Preferably at “Brass Monkey”, coz i know some members of the staff so i can get a discount (mmm, i sound too cheap… :laughing: )

Do you want a waiter job? Drop me a messege if you want.

One of my friend love to hire foreigners because he thinks they will add “international” feel to his resturant.

And you don’t need to speak good English or Chinese.

And they provide food.[/quote]

…and it’s illegal. Hello Labour department. Bye-bye business. The only up shot is that after a brief period of jail time you could get deported and have to pick up the tab for the airfare back home where you can more easily find a job without fear. In fact whatever it is you are doing right now, it is probably illegal too. My advice: Go home. Sooner or later you’ll be nabbed and then no doubt try to garner sympathy on this website for basically being stupid. Good luck though.

I know it’s illegal, but lots of Westerners who teach English do the same thing.
As a Taiwanese, I have no problem with that. When I was in a orientaion for “foreign” students from all over the world in an US university, there’s a professor said: they thank us for coming and bring the “world” to local people and students.

And I welcome people all over the world come to Taiwan, leaglly or not.

[quote=“Mr He”]Not too sure omni, we have quite a few foreigners here without the correct papers, as mentioned elsewhere, one of me buddies have overstayed 6 years. He teaches! The police picked him up last year and released him again - too much work I guess.

I knew a guy from Switzerland who overstayed for like 20 years. :astonished: :smiley:

Oversatying is great fun I guess, but well… a bit stupid. I fyou have stayed here illegally for a few years and then get caught, then you have to leave instantly - and you have your life here, making things worse. My Canadian friend has had a few close calls, just because he shat on the paperwork.

Well, the guy from Switzerland married a local woman later.

did that help?
