PRLog (Press Release) –
Mar 21, 2008 – The recent Asian sensation and economic explosion has sent citizens of countries such as China and South Korea to working tirelessly in mastering the English language. This is the new Asian fascination. English is not just a new way of communicating or status symbol; it is a guaranteed competitive advantage for the young and savvy Asian in a recently overly exposed society with “super power” intentions.
Not surprisingly, the English sector of the language industry is one of the most profitable in China and South Korea. Asian schools are bustling and working relentlessly to aggressively recruit native English speakers to teach English in their countries.
“Westerners”
are enthralled by these job opportunities because it gives them the opportunity to explore Asia, a part of the world that until now has remained a mystery for many. These positions are quite seductive because it allows English speakers to save a large percentage of their salaries, and indulge in a new cultural adventure while learning a new language and meeting some great people along the way. These jobs come with a furnished apartment, a round trip ticket, severance pay, free language classes and medical insurance. Some employers will even provide three meals per day, a cell phone and a sign on bonus. Teachers are not required to have previous teaching experience; they are however required to have a Bachelors degree which can be in any concentration.
Xandria Hendricks, co-founder of Allestra Recruiting, Inc., a Florida based recruiting firm specializes in recruiting Teachers for the Asian market, has confirmed that this is a vibrant market. She stated that “the recent attention on Asia has resulted in an equally overwhelming demand from individuals who want to go to Asia and Asian institutions that are eagerly recruiting to fill positions both in China and South Korea. Allestra Recruiting has partnered with several Asian companies to place English speakers into jobs in both China and South Korea. Allestra’s partners include Beijing’s 2008 Olympic Games official language training services supplier.
