As for useful advice for international seekers of employment in China, here is my input:
Try to get hired LEGALLY. That is not quite as easy as it sounds! Many Chinese employers are dodgy, noncommittal and grandiloquent. Avoid them! Ask upfront whether they have a license to hire foreign nationals. Can they sponsor you to the Public Security Bureau?
Get in touch with one of their foreign employees. You have the right to get someone's e-mail, and ask them relevant questions. This is very common nowadays.
If you come from overseas, go with an international employer. A company with headquarters in Singapore or Brussels and operations in China will most likely have everything above board, and take care of you from the beginning to the end.
Teaching jobs are unstable, employers unreliable and your assignment will be more decorative than real. Besides, a legal position requires that you have prior teaching experience. The minimum is two years.

In our daily life, more and more loanwords appear and change our habits in Chinese expression. Loanwords sound very similar with their original English words, and the process of learning them is full of fun to foreign students.
It has been a while since I've contributed to this Forum and I figured that since now I am officially on summer holiday and another school year is behind me I would share a post with you.
