I applied online, they seemed very excited to move forward with the online interview until they saw that I was Black. So, even as a native English speaker with 3 degrees (a master's in education and another in early childhood development), less than an hour later, I received the old 'After review of your qualifications, we have determined that they don't match our needs' email. I had heard that China had quite racist hiring policies, had even been warned about this specific company as well, but I naively assumed that a company that wanted to be viewed as 'global' might want their children to be exposed to the 21st century, which includes English speakers of all races. Boy, was I was wrong, lol. White friends that I sent the job link to were hired, and almost immediately, even with less education and no teaching experience. So if you happen to be white and need a job, go for it. I'm certain that VIPKID will read this review and post fake ones in response,claiming to be black people that they hired. Don't believe it.
