Well, have a nice update.
I had an interview close to 3 hours ago with a guy in HR for a English learning school in China. Did actually really well and the guy didn't really ask anything difficult. Matter of fact the guy seemed way more nervous than I was. I was actually started to get annoyed with his nervousness since he was the one conducting the interview smh. Either way, the interview only lasted 16 mins and felt like I did really well. Still just found it so weird that a guy that is so introverted and doesn't seem conformable doing interviews is the HR person for that particular province. It just perplexes me but oh well.
Didn't have to wait long to realize I got the job. Got an email with the paperwork and contract I would need to sign. Will need to contact them through an app in order to keep in contact which I will be working on getting that working properly soon. So far seems like a really good deal: usually 2 days off per week, only 20 hours of teaching per week (about 4 hours a day), plenty of free time as you can guess, about 2,200 USD per month, and free furnished accommodation. Have to say this is a really good deal and on top of that I found out they have a school in another city I had thought about working in. As of now seems like the cities I will be thinking about working in are Shenzhen, Harbin (the one I mentioned), and Chengdu.
I'm mostly leaning towards either Shenzhen or Harbin though. Shenzhen has access to a great international airport with great prices on flights and its literally right next to Hong Kong (which you can reach 20 mins by subway). Harbin interest me because of the local culture, and people. I've already heard from a lot of people that the people in Harbin are very extroverted, outgoing, and incredibly friendly. They will try to talk with you and invite you to eat and drink with them. It has heavy drinking culture since its is the main city of trade between Russia and China and its pretty much on the border. So there's also a good portion of people who know Russian there as well.
Either way will probably be very busy getting everything I need done over the next few days. I want to leave as soon as possible. Granted, I will still need to wait for things on their end as well before hand. I do hope I am able to start running UMS before I leave which does seem very possible given the process time needed for stuff. Anyway, that is about all that is happening right now. Hopefully I will get over there in a timely matter.
