The capital of the middle kingdom is a modern megacity surrounded by ancient walls. This is very much the cultural and political capital of China, and you will never run out of things to do.

History
This has been the capital of China since Kublai Khan’s Mongol empire overwhelmed the Great Wall and invaded. Since then, Beijing has hosted the last three imperial dynasties of China: The Yuan, Ming and Qing. Chairman Mao now slumbers in Tian’anmen Square, right next to the headquarters of the Chinese Communist Party.

Have you Eaten?
Try savory pancakes, lamb kebabs a bowl of zhajiang mian or the famous Peking duck pancakes to feel at one with the locals. You will never run out of regional Chinese cuisines to try.

CV GUIDE

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]To complete your application, we will also require your CV. Please review the guide below for more information about our expectations![/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion c_align=”center” active_section=”0″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”CV Guide” tab_id=”1640073278812-1ea61cc4-5853″][vc_column_text]This short guide will help you write a great CV/resume to support your Teach in China application. Keep on reading for some of our best tips and suggestions!

Remember, your CV is a personal marketing tool used to sell yourself to prospective employers. It should tell them about you, your professional history, your skills and your achievements. Keep it professional and relevant while also highlighting why you are the best fit for the job!

What to include in your CV

There are no universal rules when it comes to writing a CV, but there are some sections that most employers will expect to see:

• Personal details: typically this will include your name, relevant professional title, email address, phone number, city/country and LinkedIn or website or portfolio URL.

• Professional photo: while this is not a standard practice in the Western-working world, in China it is vital to include a recent headshot on your CV.

• Personal statement: also known as a professional summary or career objective, this short paragraph is your opportunity to briefly express your background and relevant accomplishments in 1-2 sentences.

• Work experience section: your employment history section gives you a chance to outline your previous jobs, internships, and work experience. Use bullet points to describe your key responsibilities and achievements, along with data or measurable outcomes to support your claims. If you have work experience from more than 10 years ago it is acceptable to leave earlier positions off your CV, especially if they are not relevant to the job you are applying for.

• Education & qualifications: include your degree and any relevant certifications you may have earned (such as TEFL).

• Additional sections: it can be helpful to include a section about your skills, language proficiencies, or any volunteer experience to boost your application.

Ready to submit your CV? Check out these tips first!

• Proofread your CV for any spelling or grammar mistakes – you are applying to be an English teacher after all!
• Ensure the layout is clear and easy to read; use a resume template if necessary.
• Make sure your employment history and education section are listed in reverse chronological order (most recent experience at the top!)
