I started my TEFL career in EF Tangshan six years ago. The original post is full of lies, and in fact It would have been alright if it wasn't for a particular senior member of staff (think criminal on the run, ended up festering away in his own bitterness for 20 years in a small Chinese City he hated). He told me after a few weeks that I'd never make it and sent me off packing to another branch. Well, last week I completed my training as an IELTS examiner after 6 years of teaching.

With the recent tightening on visa rules, I'd like to think the likes of him are not still lurking around.
