Wow this Laowai Career Center scam has legs! They are still running ads all over the internet and spending a fortune with Google AdWords. I think Google needs to know they are being used to promote a scam. On second thought, I wounder if they even care? From what I see here at scam.com they now are ...

I just made an interesting discovery... This OP post was made back in 2014 when there were at least 100 China job agents and TEFL recruiters advertising on line. Now there just seems to be about a dozen recruiters, but they are all using 5-10 alias names each! I suggest the newbies read this here be...

Since there is no international standards established for TEFL certification, Chinese employers do not give much weight nor credence to TEFL certificates, and dismiss those that were obtained through on online or CD course. But they also recognize the fact that TEFL courses are money-makers so many ...

Yes, and they also use the names Getin2China and Wiseway Global Education. People at Reddit have been hounding them to answer 21 questions for about six months but there is only silence; http://opnlttr.com/letter/why-wont-gi2c-and-laowai-career-center-china-answer-simple-and-valid-questions-if-they-...

I know how aggravating and annoying that can be. But mothers rule the education world in China friend. I stopped teaching primary school students and now only teach TOEFL and SAT to more mature high school kids. Problem solved - my way. Maybe you should consider the same solution since you will not ...

You would think the answer is yes...but its not. In China every employer wants to pay as little as possible. Having a MBA or Phd makes you less appealing to employers because they don't want to pay you more. I am in the same boat as you. If you get a non-teaching job it MAY come in handy but don't c...

My first job in China paid me 12,000 a month plus a furnished apartment. That was five years ago. I am now earning 20,000 a month and I never found my jobs through any BS ad online. If someone offers you less than 12,000 a month they plan to skim part of your salary or it is a public school in some ...

Beware that this shady gang of blacklisted recruiters added and uses yet another alias website... ChinaTEFL.com

FRAUD ALERT: 4 of the posters in this thread including the OP, Bruce, and Everest are all shills for The Helen Group! WARNING TO ALL: The above OP was clearly written as a plug for ChinaTEFLNetwork.com which is one of the alias companies used by the blacklisted and shady recruiter Helen Chen who ha...

According to BTV News the total number of foreign teachers arrested for fake TEFL certificates during the month of April was 329 - nation wide across China- all caught by random school checks of teacher credentials. Watch the video at http://reddit/r/chinascamcentral. The cop in the video is pretty ...

The truth is that you can get a real Fortune 500 China internship IF and only if you apply directly to the "Intern Coordinator" in the HR department of the Company where you want to work. The best way to get name and face in front of thfem is to do what my sister did last year and fax an 8...
