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 1^st 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.

How working in China with Haida HR changed my life

As a Math teacher recruited by Haida Interact International, I would really love to share my experience and thoughts with all the teachers out there who don't know much about Haida HR and are skeptical about the prospect of leaving their homeland to work in China.

I joined this big, happy family in May this year. Just like anyone else might have done, I also went through a fair share of reviews and testimonials online before taking the plunge. However, after working for all these months with Haida HR, I feel myself to be in the position of writing a testimonial about the company.

Haida HR has been in every way much more than a normal recruitment company. It has been a family to me. Through Haida, I have gone through a life-changing experience – working in a lovely country like China, and getting acquainted with an amazing culture!

Haida offers you a wholesome work experience that’s enriching and fun in equal parts. Never had I ever dreamt of working so distantly in a completely different culture. But the support and care I received from Haida made everything easier for me and my fellow teachers. So if you ask me, I would highly recommend working with Haida HR.

How Haida HR introduced me to a new world

I am a Physical Education teacher from Brisbane. Two of my friends were working with Haida HR when they told me about the firm. I came to know from them, that the company arranges for every single thing including lodgings and paperwork. The company also offered them a good salary.

Working in a far-off land like China was an interesting prospect for me, and listening to my friends’ experience there with Haida made me want it even more. I made up my mind and decided to dig deeper into the company. The reviews I read online helped me take the big leap – getting myself registered with Haida HR, and I was hired within a month or so.

My experience with Haida HR turned out to be just what my friends had told me. The company is very supportive of foreign teachers in China. The officials are kind and encouraging. People at Haida HR helped me a lot in adjusting to the Chinese way of living, which seemed to be a humungous task at first because I didn’t even know how to speak or understand the Chinese language.

Nevertheless, I am loving it out here. China is an amazing country to work in, and I feel lucky to have got Haida HR as my recruitment agency because these people are so reliable. I have never had to worry about anything during my last 6 months in China because Haida takes care of everything.
