I want a white girl's face

This is the photo I email with my resume. In America it's wholly inappropriate to send a picture to a prospective employer, unless you're an actor. Here it's standard procedure. I'd read online that when searching for an English teaching job in Taiwan being white is a feather in your cap; and being white and female is a shiny gold star. This was illustrated to me today on the phone when for the first time in my life I was offered a job based solely on a picture of my beautiful pie hole.

I emailed back and forth this week with a woman from a school in Taoyuan (the county we live in), and she asked me to call. After talking for a couple minutes it became clear she didn't have a job I was interested in: The school is more than an hour busride from Nankan, and there was only a 10-hour opening, which means they couldn't give me a work visa, which means it would be illegal. Deportation would be embarrassing and inconvenient, so I told her I'd pass.

Her: "Well, have you ever taught little kid before, like age 3 to 7?"
Me: "No."
Her: (nervous laughter) "Oh it's not too hard, I don't know if you want to come try?"
Me: "Sorry, I can't. I really need a working visa."
Her: "Oh but I saw your picture and we really want female teacher."
Me: "It's not going to work out."
Her: "So you're not going to come try?"
Me: "No, sorry about that."
Her: "Well if you have any friend in Taipei, we really need female teacher. It's emergency."

Whatever parents are paying to have their children learn English at this school, it's too much.
