Hanging out in Hangzhou

It’s hard to explain where the services of Haida HR stop. These guys provide all-round services to anyone who wants to make a prosperous life in China. All you need is a bachelor’s degree, two years of post graduate work experience, and TEFL certification of more than 120 hours. I met all the requirements easily since I had been preparing for a life in China. Didn’t know it would come so fast and come so easy. What surprised me even more was that I was posted in Hangzhou, which is one of the most beautiful cities in China.
I needed to make sure that Haida delivered what they promised. I was given more than that in fact. Haida is like that cool nanny who lets you have fun and keeps you in line at the same time. Haida made sure that I was trained for the job because teaching little Chinese children is a big difficult. I remember countless seminars that taught the new foreign teachers how to approach the Chinese way of life, then only could we understand the children.

The best part about the Haida life is Hangzhou. This city has rich history, culture, and tradition. You’ll be scared of Chinese food initially. But, I am sure, give it a month and you’ll start to love Chinese food. Hangzhou has a lot to offer. It’s an amalgamation of awesome bars and sightseeing spots. Haida is a great place to apply if you want all these in your life.

From Toronto to Hangzhou

Before Haida HR, It used to be a boring day with my annoying co-worker endless blabber that would eat up most of my peace. I used to work as a copywriter in a Toronto-based firm. Suddenly everyone around me had a happening life with frequent trips and pictures on Facebook with their new foreign projects.  Though, I did not realize that I needed something similar.
While looking for the best dumpling place on Google, I came across a forum talking about what life is like in China. The people were talking about working and living in China, it’s where the name Haida HR popped up. So, like the name suggests, it’s a human resource company that recruits foreign teachers in China. I didn’t give it much thought till I scrolled down the forum and read that Haida China reviews is ‘different’. These guys will pick you up from the airport, help you with accommodation and set you up with a comfortable life in China.
I was fooling around with Haida HR till I actually applied for as a foreign teacher, just to see how deep the rabbit hole goes. One thing led to another and I took a flight to Hangzhou, via Beijing. It’s been a year now since I’ve been in China as an English teacher. Let me tell you, it was worth it! The Chinese children I teach are very obedient and helpful. Haida HR makes sure that my apartment is comfortable and that I don’t run into any problems. Although I don’t have plans of settling down in China, I hope to live the Haida life a bit more.

   

Summing my experience with Haida HR in one word – Incredible!

Hailing from a small town in Australia, Haida opened doors of new possibilities for me. I was initially skeptical about what China would ha...
