mandarinstudent Posted May 22, 2006 at 01:15 PM Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 at 01:15 PM I will be coming to Beijing in the next few weeks to stay for 2-3 years or so (reason why could be a whole new thread). I am wondering about working in Beijing doing something other than teaching english. A little about myself...Ive recently graduated with a degree in Finance with a 4.0 GPA. The bad thing is that it wasn't some prestigious university, just the one closest to where I live, and I don't have much experience. I've only done an internship at a small accounting firm. I just mostly worked as a waiter to put myself through school (no loans or mommy/daddy money). With these qualifications and no "guanxi", will I realistically be able to find work that pays decently using my degree in Beijing? I speak a little mandarin, but definitely not enough to conduct business. I've gotten a TESL certificate as backup and Im just wondering if I am going to have to use it. Anyone here in the same field that can give me some pointers? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
