"After graduating, I wasn't sure what to do. I had done a few job searches and had a few interviews, but nothing really stood out as a job that I'd love. I was introduced to EF by a friend who had just started teaching in China. After spending some time on the website and talking to my friend, it seemed like a cool job and the start of a new adventure. It has been a great year so far and I'm looking forward to a few more."
