When we land in a new environment, it becomes crucial to be able to adapt ourselves. There are many features of the situation that we are not prepared for, that we do not think about, everything is new and sometimes even improbable (right or wrong). In this type of configuration it is particularly clever to build up a network on the spot. I mean getting in touch with people in the same situation as us, getting around those who have managed to get through this start-up phase and of course making local friends. That way, you will be able to extract the knowledge and experiences from your network to adapt as quickly and efficiently as possible. By the way, this is true EVERYWHERE, not only abroad !
« Experience is a costly school »,
to this I reply : no need to pay for an experience already billed to your entourage. They are ready to offer it to you for a simple drink on the terrace !
⚠️ However, be CAREFUL ⚠️
Critical and attentive attitude towards our network should be maintained. Indeed, sometimes we can find ourselves confronted with truly bad situations ...
Taiwan is very different from mainland China, one of the striking differences is the freedom to browse the internet. Censorship doesn’t exist here ! As such, many foreign AND local people use Facebook. A social network that will prove to be super convenient to find target groups corresponding to your needs. For example : Communauté française à Taïwan, Non teaching job in Taiwan, Foreigners in Taipei&Taiwan, Looking for tutors or language exchange in Taipei and Taiwan, etc.
This tool will be very powerful to help you build a network. As a matter of fact, in addition to the valuable information you will have access to, you will be able to get your first opportunities. For my part, it was thanks to this platform that I found my first job (in just 3 days). There I met a Frenchman whose wife owns a restaurant in Taipei. After exchanging messages, I got an interview and then the job.
