JOB PLACEMENT PROCESS

ACI specializes in no-nonsense western-style recruitment. We are honest, straight-forward, and will guide you through the job placement step-by-step. We believe in fast and constant communication with our clients.

Here is the basic process:

1. E-mail us your documents

Please first email us the following:

• Resume (CV)
• A recent photo of yourself (can be casual, but must be clear)
• Copy of your passport
• Copy of your diploma
• Expected arrival time (positions come and go quickly!!)
• To find suited positions, you can also let us know any particular preferences such as salary, location, student age, benefits, etc.

2. We do the job matching

We will review your documents and call you for a quick phone interview if you are a qualified candidate. We will tell you about the schools that would be suitable for you and send you a copy of the contract upon request. If you are happy with the position we have found you, we will ask that you sign the contract, and then scan and email us a copy of it.

3. Book your flight

You will need to book a round-trip flight to come to Taiwan. The best way to book a flight for Taiwan is to go through a travel agency. Your travel agent will know which airlines can provide cheaper tickets. Travel agents also can assist you with obtaining the visa you need to enter Taiwan. To apply for a 60-days extendable tourist visa to Taiwan, you need to show the Taiwanese visa officer that you have a ticket out of Taiwan. The destination of the return flight is not important. You can ask to leave the date of the return flight open. Once you have your flight itinerary from your travel agent, please scan the ticket and email it to us so we can arrange for airport pickup.

The schools will not apply for your work permit until you have arrived Taiwan and have signed contract with school in person. Also, no schools in Taiwan will provide pre-paid airfare. You will be asked to enter Taiwan with an outbound ticket. This is not necessarily a "return ticket". Please refer to Air ticket requirements for entry into Taiwan.

4. Get your 60-day tourist visa

We recommend that you enter the country with a 60-day extendable tourist visa, also called a Visitor Visa. This is the best way to come. You can get the work permit, resident visa, and ARC (alien residency certificate) after you have started working for the school. We suggest the 60-day visa because it takes approximately one month to get all your paperwork back to you. Therefore, if you only get a 30-day visitor visa, you will be rushed. If your first visit exceeds the period given, you will still have to fly out.

Please DO NOT come in using a Landing Visa, or visa-exempt entry. A landing visa is only good for 14 or 30 days (depending on what country you are from), and an extension will NOT be granted. If you come into Taiwan o a landing visa, you will need to fly out again. You will need to go to another country to get the 60-day tourist visa before your work permit can be processed. The visa application fee is different in each Taiwanese representative office. The time it takes to process the visa also differs.

5. Arrive in Taiwan

As part of our service, we will arrange for airport pickup. You will be then taken to either a hostel or to your school.

6. Interview and Demo

We will train you on what the employers expect from their teachers and prep you on how to do teaching ÒdemoÕsÓ

7. Communicate and Support with Your Job

ACI continues its service to you by acting as a liaison between you and the school. If you should have any problems communicating with the school, just give us a call.
