Teaching in China: My experience with Haida HR

Hello everyone! I am a PT teacher from Adelaide, Australia, and I’m sharing my experience of Haida HR with you all.

My job in China with Haida HR is my 1st job abroad. I had never even thought of leaving my country. Being a teacher was always my goal because it feels great to give something back. I was already working with a school when I came to know about Haida.
I joined Haida HR just over 6 months ago and I have no bad things to say about them. With my employer in China, during the initial days, it was a little hard to get my point across and I think this is due to the cultural differences which are completely understandable.
However, the best thing is about Haida is that most of their Chinese employees have studied or at least lived abroad which makes a huge difference. The staff listens to you and they have a great understanding of how western society works.
Haida HR help you every step of the way from getting proper accommodation to the little things such as setting up a bank account and phone. Any minor issues that I have had, Haida has done its best in helping me overcome these problems. This has been nothing short of a weight lifted from my shoulders because being in a culturally different country can sometimes be challenging.
Life with Haida has been nothing short of a joyride. I was posted in Hangzhou – a city with a rich history, culture, and tradition. Hangzhou has a lot to offer. It’s an amalgamation of awesome bars and sightseeing spots. Chinese food here is nothing like the takeouts we used to have back in Adelaide – it’s more nutritious, authentic and yum.

I am really thankful for Haida being so helpful to me as well as for other employees. I would definitely recommend this opportunity to teachers back at home to experience this themselves.
