What's the experience of working in an international school?
I am a teacher and graduated from Beijing Normal University majoring in Chinese International Education. I once went to America to teach for a year. After returning to China, I worked in a public school in Beijing for two years. Now I am a Chinese teacher in an international school in Shanghai. International schools have a multicultural working environment, with many holidays and little pressure. They can still achieve a work-life balance, so they are a very good career choice. I believe many friends must be very interested in how to find a job in an international school. Today, I will talk to you about some methods and channels for international schools to find jobs, hoping to help you.

At present, domestic and international schools are mainly divided into foreign children's schools and bilingual private schools, and the salaries in different regions are also different. On the whole, wages in Shenzhen and parts of Guangdong are very high, followed by the Yangtze River Delta. The treatment of several top international schools in Beijing is very good. Some can achieve equal pay for equal work at home and abroad, but the threshold is high, while the treatment of international schools in Shanghai is generally lower. When I just graduated, I voted for the resumes of many international schools in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. As far as my own experience is concerned, international schools with good reputation and high teaching requirements will not let fresh graduates become teaching teachers directly, but start as teaching assistants. I mainly use the following three ways to find a job:

1. WeChat official account:

(1) The official account of WeChat is recruited by international schools, such as:

Teacher David, Mr. David, international teacher recruitment information, uncle Yan's theory, recruitment of Chinese as a foreign language, etc. Among them, the official account of WeChat strongly recommended the first issue of "Mr. David, Teacher David", which not only has recruitment information, but also many teaching resources and promotion groups in the industry. I consulted Mr. David when I was looking for a job. He was super nice. Everybody get out of the way!

(2) official website/official WeChat official account of international school, such as:

Hello International School, Dewei International School, Nord Anda International School, etc. The above job requirements are written in detail and can be delivered directly.

(3) Regional teachers recruit official WeChat accounts, such as:

Beijing teachers, Shanghai teacher recruitment information network, deep teacher education, etc. This kind of official WeChat account is mainly based on the recruitment information of teachers in the system, but there are also recruitment information of international and bilingual schools.

2. Recruitment app

After I downloaded almost all kinds of apps, I found that there are many teacher positions in international schools: 5 1job, Zhaopin, Hunting, Linkedln.

(1) Hunting is to contact you through headhunting. Many jobs in international schools are recruited by headhunters, who have many job opportunities in different schools.

(2) LinkedIn Workplace is an international recruitment software. Haha, many foreigners are using it, and there are many job opportunities in international schools.

3. Other channels

In addition to the above two methods, you can also make good use of your circle of alumni acquaintances, or brush more social platforms such as Xiaohongshu, Douban and Zhihu, and you will certainly gain something. You can also pay more attention to some industry conferences or academic exchange forums in the international education circle.
