Will I be able to find a job in Shanghai?

When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in Shanghai, they reponded...

"The best way to come into this country is to be hired as an expat from another country. It is difficult, but not impossible to find a job here if one moves first here hoping to find a job. One will be hired as a local though and have to live as the locals do. Western companies will not hire one just because you are all ready living here. Be aware this country is very education conscious and degrees mean a lot. Just make sure if you do decide to come here and find a job, answer this question to yourself.."Why would a company hire you when they could get someone with a more advanced degree than you have, that speaks three other languages and the companies pay far less for these people?"," remarked another expat who made the move to Shanghai, China.

"Foreigners often have jobs in Shanghai in sectors such as finance, IT, consulting, hospitality, education, and media. Many also work in marketing and advertising, as well as in international trade and shipping. Other job opportunities can be found in the creative industries, in sales, and in management and leadership roles. Additionally, foreign entrepreneurs often set up businesses in Shanghai to take advantage of the city's international status," explained one expat living in Shanghai, China, China.
