mandarinwoman Posted January 14, 2010 at 07:49 AM Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 at 07:49 AM Hi, I'm an American looking to move to Shanghai and while there are dozens of jobs available for teaching English, I'm having some difficulty finding non-teaching jobs in Shanghai. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking to leave the profession I've been working in so any suggestions would be good because I won't have much experience in that field anyway. Since I might have to take a teaching job (I enjoy teaching but I just wouldn't prefer it), are English teaching jobs considered to be among some of the best paying jobs available to foreigners in China since the demand seems to be very high? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted January 14, 2010 at 09:05 PM Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 at 09:05 PM So what skills do you have that are hard to find among the native Chinese in Shanghai? I would start by looking there. Teaching English is a common job because it is a clear skill: native English speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandeX Posted January 18, 2010 at 04:07 AM Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 at 04:07 AM If you are completely fluent in Chinese, you may be able to get a job with some company making maybe even 3000 or 4000 rmb a month, or you can teach and get minimum 10,000 a month for full time. Depends if money or job type is more important to you. If I could find a non teaching job here, I would do it for a "minor" pay cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
