| Binding Contracts? Hi Everyone,
Im soon to arrive in Taiwan (2 weeks time) and Im wondering if I should secure a job before I leave. Im told I can do this with a phone interview.
However Im wondering how binding are the contracts? For me a contract is a contract and can't be broken... period. But what if the job offered before I get to Taiwan has been misrepresented or just not suitable. For example the location is very inconvenient or the environment is hostile (Im sure this is not the case but just as an example of things that may not be good).
Is it possible to terminate a contract and get work elsewhere or does one get a bad reputation for terminating a contract early even if there are valid reasons for doing so.
I guess at the end of the day while its useful to have a job already waiting for me there are risks accepting a contract before even meeting the people or seeing the school.
Any advise would be so much appreciated from more experienced teachers who have been there done that. (This is my first time to do this).
Many thanks and hope all are well
