Teaching English in Xi'an, China

Childintime — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 08:32:22 GMT

Hello,

I am writing on behalf of the Xian Universal Business & English Training College. The college is a new building located in the beautiful ChangLe Park in Xian. The park is a self contained spot near the centre of the city. It boasts excellent access to the rest of Xi'an whilst being secluded enough to avoid the noise, hustle and bustle. There are shops and restuarants in walking distance should you decide to leave the park at any point as well as an internet bar, banks and markets. It is truly a wonderful spot.

We are currently looking for people to fill vacancies of the following description: Foreign Teachers and Senior Teachers. The vacancies have arisen due to the fact that the college is completely new and is about to enter its first year. This is a wonderful opportunity to start "from scratch" and we hope that some of you here will be willing to join us. The college itself can boast state-of-the-art equipment, wonderful surroundings and new, purpose built, accomodation. For more details and or photos, feel free to email. Below you will find the details of the job:

What we need:

Foreigh Teachers must

*be at least 25 years of age

*have a degree and a teaching qualification of some sort. Please note, it is not necessary to have a dedicated foreign teaching qualification, such as a TEFL, although it is preferable.

All contracts are one year.

Foreign teachers are entitled to a wage of 2,200 Yuan RMB paid, regularly, each month.

The college will process the work VISA and medical upon arrival in Xi'an. This will be paid for by the teacher and will be deducted from the first months wages. Speaking from experience, this is no big thing. The cost of living in Xi'an is low and i still have money to spare after my first month.

The teacher will have to pay for their own, original, 30 day VISA in order to enter China. Upon arrival produce the receipt and the college will reimburse the cost, in full.

If needed you can ask for assistance in finding one and you can usually buy a reasonable laptop for about 4,000-5,000 Yuan RMB depending on your specification.

A notice:

We are well aware of scammers using Chinese job advertisements in order to secure photocopies of passports and qualifications. For this reason, we will not ask you to send these photocopies with the initial application. Instead we ask for a CV and, if possible, a photo. You wil be contacted soon and will be free to ask any questions you want aboutthe job, the college or Xi'an. You will then need to provide proof of qualifications and such.

Also, the jobs need to be filled as quickly as possible. All teachers shall be entitled to an orientation period upon arrival. The sooner you can leave, the more time you have to adjust. For that reason we ask that we have no Timewasters. Do not apply if you are not willing to come out in the near future.

On a final note, this is a wonderful job in a wonderful place with wonderful people. This is a new college and has strong ties with the UK. As such, we are doing things differently. We are enforcing an Internal Verification policy and striving for the best possible education for our students. We hope that you feel the same way that we do.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Antonija,

I'm not sure if you realize that you need to include with this 'cover letter' a copy of 'your' resume or CV. The letter should thus just focus on the highlights of your application. You have too many mundane details here. Think about what the employer wants. eg Can she sell? Can she work independently? Can she learn about new products quickly?

Best wishes, Clive

Could you please read this job application and correct the mistakes. Thanks

Dear Sir/Madam,

I saw your advertisement for a medical representative in XY newspapers, issued on 18 March 2006. I am very interested in the job because I enjoy working with people and I have the required communication skills, as well as many of the necessary qualifications.

I was born on 03 March 1979 in XY. Birth date is not relevant and should not be included. I graduated from high school in 1997. I graduated from the University of Rijeka Medical School in November 2004 and I took medical exam in May 2005. I have a valid driving licence (B cat.) and I speak English fluently and have passive knowledge of Italian language. Although I have never worked as a medical representative, I have been in medical practice for almost two years â one year during my internship and eight months working as a general practitioner (still working).

I am very interested in the position and I hope you will consider my application. I am looking forward to meeting you.

Yours faithfully,

XY, M.D.

Very well done, Croatian. I have shortened it a bit, you had a bit of 'overkill'-- you don't have to express eagerness so repeatedly:

Throughout my secondary education, I have been most interested in linguistic and economic subjects and, as you can see from my attached curriculum vitae, I have constantly sought to gain experience abroad. I have learned many interesting facts about your institution and your offered courses in Business and Economics; decisive for me in sending out this application was the information on your Undergraduate Degree in Business Administration program, where I feel I can improve my Italian surrounded by native speakers and at the same time improve my English by studying in English.

I am fascinated by Italy and the Italian way of life. I have travelled to many Italian cities and regions in order to find out more about the history and culture of your country. Since my childhood I have always wanted to live in Italy, and still do, because the people seem to have a mentality similar to the ones in XXXX, which makes me feel comfortable and at home.

My main fields of interest are contemporary studies dealing with business management and economics. In secondary school I was affected by the subjects of hospitality management and economics. During three of our five years, our class cooperated with the Hotel Intercontinental Vienna in a spirit of partnership, so I have already gained much experience in the practical application of hospitality management.

I speak English, Croatian and German fluently, and have studied Italian for five years at school. I have also taught Italian and Croatian as a tutor, and one of my next goals is to learn an eastern language. I am very communicative, and like to work with people; these have been very important skills during my education for the tourism industry. I am very enthusiastic when it comes to active employment; I like to work under pressure and to develop new skills. I have high organizational skills and, as you can see from my attached curriculum vitae, I have already gained some experience in this field.

I see myself as an enthusiastic, socially concerned and innovative member of society. I have always worked hard to achieve all the goals I set for myself. As you can see from my enclosed records, during secondary school I was enrolled in all extra subjects offered. My next goal is to be accepted at Bocconi and gain a Fellowship program. I have set this goal for myself and I will do everything I can to achieve it.

Dear EF-Team,
I have written this letter by my self and a friend of mine has corrected it, but Iâm still not sure if the style is handsome enough.
I would also be very thankful 4 some spellchecking and your comment on the overall impression!
It would be very nice if you could help meâ¦

Throughout my education in my secondary school I have always been most interested in lingual and economic subjects and as you can see from my attached curriculum vitae I have constantly sought to gain experience abroad. When I heard from one of your students that there is a university in Milan that has courses in English I started my research about XXXXX. Consequently I found out many interesting facts about your institution and the offered courses in Business and Economics, but decisive for me to send out this application, was the program of your Undergraduate Degree in Business Administration and the fact that I can stay in Italy and improve my Italian surrounded by native speakers and improve my English knowledge by studying in English.

Furthermore I am fascinated by Italy and the Italian way of life, because I have learned many facts about the Italian habits and culture at school. I have travelled to many Italian cities and regions in order to find out more about the history and culture of this country. Since my childhood I have always wanted to live in Italy and still do because the people have a similar mentality to the ones in XXXX which makes me feel comfortable and at home.

My main field of interests are contemporary studies dealing with business management and economics. In my secondary school I have always been affected by the subjects hospitality management and economics. Throughout three of five years our class was cooperating with the hotel "Intercontinental Vienna" in a spirit of partnership, and due to this fact I have already gained much experience in the practical application of administration and management.

I am talented in languages. I speak English, Croatian and German fluently and have studied Italian for five years at school. I have also taught Italian and Croatian as a tutor and one of my next goals is to learn an eastern language. I am very communicative and like to work with people, those have been very important skills during my education for the tourism industry. I am very enthusiastic when it comes to active jobs, I like to work under pressure and to develop new skills. I have high organizational skills and as you can see from my attached curriculum vitae I have already gained some experience in this field. Considering all these facts I have decided to study Business Administration of Economics and Management and I am sure that in the future I will be working in this sector.

I see myself as an enthusiastic, socially concerned and innovative member of society. I have always been hard working to achieve all goals I have set for myself. As you can see from my enclosed diplomas, during my secondary school I have enrolled for all extra subjects offered. Once I focus myself on a goal I head to it until I have accomplished what I wanted to do. The next goal on my list is to get accepted for Bocconi and achieve a Fellowship-Program. I believe that one should follow his ambitions and dreams and never give up even though there are many surprises in life. I have set this goal for myself and I will do everything I can to achieve it because that is my desire.

Yours sincerely
