sindy123 Posted June 9, 2017 at 12:32 PM Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 at 12:32 PM Hi everyone, Starting in September I will be studying in Shanghai for a year. My goal for that year is to make connections and afterward work in China. My question is: is it hard for a foreigner to find a non-teaching job in China? I ask this question because I have heard that getting a work visa might be difficult and lots of backgrounds are taken into consideration. I have a master degree, speak both English and Chinese fluently, but have no previous work experiences. Anyone would like to share their experiences?

Observer Posted June 11, 2017 at 07:39 PM Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 at 07:39 PM You say that you speak Chinese fluently now, but you are intending to study intensive Chinese when you arrive. What level have you already attained ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
