Allowed HTML tags: <a> <cite> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <img>

This site allows HTML content. While learning all of HTML may feel intimidating, learning how to use a very small number of the most basic HTML "tags" is very easy. This table provides examples for each tag that is enabled on this site.

For more information see W3C's HTML Specifications or use your favorite search engine to find other sites that explain HTML.

Tag Description	You Type	You Get
Anchors are used to make links to other pages.	`<a href="https://answers.echinacities.net">echinacities</a>`	echinacities
Emphasized	`<em>Emphasized</em>`	Emphasized
Strong	`<strong>Strong</strong>`	Strong
Cited	`<cite>Cited</cite>`	Cited
Coded text used to show programming source code	`<code>Coded</code>`	`Coded`
Unordered list - use the <li> to begin each list item	`<ul> <li>First item</li> <li>Second item</li> </ul>`	First item Second item
Ordered list - use the <li> to begin each list item	`<ol> <li>First item</li> <li>Second item</li> </ol>`	First item Second item
Definition lists are similar to other HTML lists. <dl> begins the definition list, <dt> begins the definition term and <dd> begins the definition description.	`<dl> <dt>First term</dt> <dd>First definition</dd> <dt>Second term</dt> <dd>Second definition</dd> </dl>`	First term First definition Second term Second definition

By default line break tags are automatically added, so use this tag to add additional ones. Use of this tag is different because it is not used with an open/close pair like all the others. Use the extra " /" inside the tag to maintain XHTML 1.0 compatibility	`Text with <br />line break`	Text with line break
By default paragraph tags are automatically added, so use this tag to add additional ones.	`<p>Paragraph one.</p> <p>Paragraph two.</p>`	Paragraph one. Paragraph two.
Underlined	`<u>Underlined</u>`	Underlined

Most unusual characters can be directly entered without any problems.

If you do encounter problems, try using HTML character entities. A common example looks like & for an ampersand & character. For a full list of entities see HTML's entities page. Some of the available characters include:

Character Description	You Type	You Get
Ampersand	`&`	&
Greater than	`>`	>
Less than	`<`	<
Quotation mark	`"`	"

Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.
Lines and paragraphs are automatically recognized. The line break, paragraph and close paragraph tags are inserted automatically. If paragraphs are not recognized simply add a couple blank lines.

If you include a textual smiley in your post (see chart below), it will be replaced by a graphical smiley.

Answer of the DayMORE >>

Q: Can I get a job if I'm a non-native speaker with a BA degree from England?

A: Yes, you can get legal ET job by the Chinese Labor law. Pro

A:Yes, you can get legal ET job by the Chinese Labor law. Problem is, most Chinese managers and recruiters don't know, they can obtain Working permit for a non-native English teacher with BA completed in a native English country. I'd suggest, you mention possibility of legal employment for non-native English teacher with degree completed in a native English country at the first interview. It's a tough time in China at your example, IMO. Most recruiters and hiring managers in China know only "ET must hold a native English passport ..", so your job application get dismissed right there. The other thing is, never stop sending your CV to the job offers doesn't matter if no replies. At my time in China (pre-2017), I'd send CVs to every offer posted daily.I've even disregarded advert's requirement 'native English passport holder', and ... I got a reply or two in a month time. Take the last paragraph as a rule! Good luck! -- icnif77
