This is a throwback to episode 103, in which I interviewed Jason and T about their decision to leave the US and become teachers in China. It was a great conversation! Here are three key takeaways for anyone considering a similar path: ๐๐พ Master the Art of Negotiation: Both Jason and T. highlight the importance of negotiation, whether it's haggling prices at local markets or securing better salaries and contract terms as an independent contractor. ๐๐พ Language Learning is Key: While it's not mandatory to be fluent in Chinese, Jason emphasizes that even basic language skills in Mandarin can go a long way in enriching your experience and building connections with locals. ๐๐พ Plan and Adapt for Success: From obtaining a TEFL or TESOL certification to understanding the types of teaching positions available, planning and adaptability are crucial. Our guests provide valuable advice on how to prepare for and thrive in an international teaching career. ๐ Whether you're contemplating a career change, passionate about teaching, or simply love to travel, this episode is packed with practical tips and inspiring stories.
