You are right that I am looking for a Public High School or University position. I do not forget that recruiters are in it for themselves, but I also do not abandon all hope that some hope to please their teachers as well as their schools. I have spoken to many recruiters over the past couple of weeks and some were very curt. Some were very friendly. Some were outright rude. Those who seem to have my interests in mind I am still talking to. Those who do not even work at that illusion have been left by the wayside.

I accept that I am likely to take a job through a recruiter for my first time going to China. The task for me has been determining which recruiter and some have made it very easy to leave them behind. Perhaps those I am still talking to are conducting an elaborate ruse, but I have hope that isn't true of all of them. And if it turns out that this goes poorly for me, I will certainly post on here to warn others away as I meander the streets of China, penniless, looking for a job. ;)
