I have noticed that in the past few months a lot more companies are advertising positions where the candidates have to already be "in the country" - simply to save some cash...
I am planning to look for an English teaching job starting early next year. I was expecting to secure the job before my arrival and that the employer would provide airfare (I have read elsewhere that they usually do.)--hopefully for me as well as my wife. If I have certification and years of experience, how realistic are my expectations?
Also, should I be concerned that I will not be in my home country (and not in the UAE) when I do my job search online? That is, if the employer provides airfare, does it have to be from my HOME country? I am American, but I will be in China; should I expect the employer to buy my/our ticket(s) to the UAE?
I would appreciate anyone's input on this airfare issue because obviously it makes a big difference. Thank you.
