I can tell you this if you get your FI license Beijing Pan Am Academy in china will hire you in a heart beat.
It appears they're only interested in those qualified to teach instrument and multi at the moment. Thorough research of the locations, terms and conditions and quality of life is a must before even considering this one if you ask me. You will most likely be based in Baotou, Inner Mongolia which indeed sounds like a once in a lifetime experience, expecially when you realise that the oldest Tibetan monastry in China is situated there along with the worlds oldest Lama. But possibly not when you see realise the minimum term is 14 months with 3 months notice required and 100USD payout should you get camp fever (highly probable!) .

The pay equates to around £1000 sterling take home a month and of course would be tax free. If you have the required experience and are bored, single and frustrated instructing in the UK I'd definately look into it as this could be quite an adventure but I wouldn't go with the expectation that you'll still be able to muck spread your CV's to potential airlines every week! That said, if all they require are multi/IR instructors then the majority of guys likely to apply are going to career guys aren't they?
