Hi all
Firstly, all the people that have replied to this post have been spot on, especially the bits about “guanxi” and studying mandarin. All this aside ,if you are already here, if you are already planning your escape from teaching English as a main income source, what would be the best way to go about it?
Over the past year I have been teaching English part time “this takes care of visa and rent issues” and I have managed to find a couple freelance jobs,which have been good for my portfolio. But ideally I would like these bits and bobs to eventually provided me with a full time job. I am in a similar position education wise but have limited “industry” experience. One of you mentioned the design community in Taiwan. Could anyone shed any light as to how to become more actively involved in design circles or should one just pack up and move to a “larger” design hub?
Any positive/negative response would be appreciated.
