Hey there, fellow educators! 🌟
Are you an ARC-sponsored English teacher in Taiwan and feeling like your current job just isn’t cutting it in terms of hours or income? You're not alone! Let's chat about how you can secure a second job to supplement your income and make the most of your time here in Taiwan.
Government Rules and Regulations
First things first, let’s break down the legal landscape. There's a common misconception that foreign cram school teachers are barred from taking on a second job in Taiwan. The truth is, there is no specific rule preventing it! However, you do need the approval of your sponsoring employer. Your current employer holds the key to granting you the privilege of seeking additional employment.
Steps to Take
Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting that second job:
1. Talk to Your Boss
Start by having an open and honest conversation with your employer. You will need to have their approval first and foremost. Assure them that your primary job performance will not be affected by taking on a second job.
2. Find Suitable Opportunities
Once you’ve got the green light from your employer, start looking for part-time teaching positions that fit your schedule. We here at Global ESL Portal are happy to help! Flexibility is key—consider jobs that offer flexible hours or online teaching that won’t interfere with your main gig.
Benefits of a Second Job
✔️Enjoy a more comfortable lifestyle or save up for future plans.
✔️Gain new teaching experiences and diversify your skill set.
✔️Meet new people and expand your professional network.
✔️Engage more deeply with local culture and communities.
Don’t Forget
For ARC-sponsored foreign teachers, a second employer will need to apply for a second work permit! You will need a work permit for each company that hires you.
Conclusion
So, if you’re feeling the financial crunch, don’t fret. There are opportunities out there for ARC-sponsored English teachers in Taiwan to boost their income with a second job. With a bit of initiative and a willingness to communicate with your employer, your path to financial freedom might be just around the corner.
Happy teaching and happy earning! 🌟💼
