Will I be able to find a job in China?
When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in China, they reponded...
"I don't know what the main industries are in Beijing. I only have experience teaching although exporting cheap Chinese goods is common. Any type of career opportunities exist if you are a native English speaker, although outside teaching, Mandarin is helpful. Word of mouth and who you know are how most people already living here find work. The internet is second if you don't live here already. Dave's ESL cafe is a good place to start," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Beijing, China.
"There is a lot of clothing manufacturing, but most of my students are working in the auto industry. Most working for foreign/Chinese Government partnership companies, including Cummings and Peugot. In the area near my school it is almost entirely clothing shops, including many famous international brands such as Kappa, Addidas, Nike, and Playboy," commented one expat who made the move to Xiangfan, China.
