But if you're dead-set on finding a job before you come, email me with a layout of what you're looking for and I'll see what kind of resources I can come up with to help you. What happened with Jingshan?

fu laoshi went to china over the break (she tried contacting you but apparently your email address no longer works) and asked about a job for me, but they said they'd found another place to get teachers so they don't need SMC anymore. sucks, but i figure china is teeming with jobs for foreigners so it's not that big a deal. there's also Cheery English School, Happy KidWorld International School, and (something in chinese) Engish School. i love china.

More often than not, a "job" here means having a few different part time teaching jobs. The hours aren't always ideal (some nights and weekends), and you often have to travel around town, but you can make Y8000-Y12000 if you can land good clients. Many English schools also hire full-time, usually around Y10,000-Y12,000 to work at the same building every class, but also probably nights and weekends.
Some job-hunting resources (some may not be useful until you get here):
www.thatsbj.com (expat magazine website, incl classifieds)
www.cityweekend.com.cn/beijing (another expat website)
www.craigslist.org (they have a beijing site)
