Job for a non-profit organization?

I am 19, have been offered through organization in china ESL job?

• I applied for many ESL jobs and an organization in Beijing wants me to come out, they provide housing for 15 days while i train with them and then we go to schools in area they work with for interviews to get a job. I need to make decision ASAP, like in a couple days. I can get TEFL I have been working on it, but what is holding me back, is that even though i signa contract, they said I should have no probelm finding a job, yet I am19 with no degree, and if I did not get a job than I would be down 1000 dollars for airfare PLUS downa job, because i need to give a 30 day notice to my job now if i will do this. (i am working entry level job and this ESL job will be better for my career and pay better) What should I do? I really want to do this but I dont know if ill be able to get the job???

• Answer:

  1- Don't believe any "guaranteed job" advertisement. 2- You now need a degree to work in China, so you'll probably won't be able to obtain a work permit. 3- Many schools from China and other Asian countries hire you with the right qualifications before you even arrive there and they will provide you with the work permit, accommodation, and sometimes a signing bonus that you can use toward your airfare. Many schools also offer return airfare when you complete the contract and a signing bonus to renew the contract. 4- Never pay for job placement assistance, especially in countries where it's easy to find a job with the right qualifications http://www.freetefljobplacement.com. 5- Wages are increasing in China, so find out how much you can earn ($800 to $1,400 at entry level depending on the area and up to $2,000 with some teaching experience) before committing to a low paying internship.
