Looking for teaching jobs in Shenzhen.
Please contact me and I will be able to share my resume.
Thank you.
Been with the current company for a while now and looking to move on but why is it that every time I go on a job hunt, I am so anxious.
Not anxious because I could be moving to a new and refreshing environment but because I always get told; "We're only hiring natives".
Without even conversing, they browse my moments on Wechat or question why I have a chinese surname, they immediately lean on the side that I am not a native.
10 years of experiences with 4 different schools, TEFL and CELTA and I feel that 80% of the jobs are unavailable to me.
Some foreigners tell me how lucky I am for not being seen as one, but boy do I wish at times like these, I could have that extra advantage when it comes to looking for a new position.
Anyways rant over, sorry POC just felt like I had to get it off my chest.
I’m looking to hire an English speaker to help me adopt a Tibetan Mastiff from china. I would pay all expenses for the dog/care and for your time. It’s completely legal so no worry about that. I would need to you to scout a dog for me, as I have tried and failed to figure out where to get one (language barrier and not knowing how to use Chinese websites). Aside from that, it would be picking the dog up, taking it to the airport and presenting the paperwork on my behalf (proof of rabies vaccination). I really hope this is not a super strange request!
Our school has been running a Canadian-certified high-school program in China for the past 22 years since 2005. This program is fully authorized by the Ministry of Education of British Columbia (BCMOE), which is a province on the west-coast of Canada. Most of our graduates go to North America for university studies.
• Currently, we have openings for 2 teachers 1) a Science/Math teacher and 2) an English/Social Studies for 2024-2025 school year to teach in-person in China. Preference is given to teachers who are interested in taking on a management role in the future.
• We are located in the city of Tongxiang (桐乡) in Zhejiang province, which is about a 40 minute train ride from Shanghai. So, it gives the Canadian staff the tranquility of life during weekdays and yet they are only 40 minute train ride away from one of the busiest cities in the world.
• The normal work load is about 25 hours per week.
• We aim at loading our teachers with courses in accordance with their background, interest and experience. This is handled by our principal and our superintendent.
• Our standard compensation package consists of:
(a) base salary of approximately 50-60K CAD per year, dependent on your background
(b) housing subsidy, which is more than enough to rent a furnished one-bedroom apartment nearby the School
(c) roundtrip airfare
(d) medical/health insurance on a 50-50 basis,
(e) paying for fees relating to work visa, foreign expert certificate, etc.
• As per the requirements from the BCMOE, our teachers (including the headmaster) must be certified or certifiable (ie licensed) (as determined by the BCMOE). Therefore, applicants should have a recognized Bachelor’s degree in education (preferably from Canada, USA, England, or Australia).

• In China, we have 3 full-time support staff, who are tasked to provide infrastructure support to our Canadian staff (in terms of settlement, orientation, and daily operations). They are very experienced in assisting western staff.

I heard this was a big issue. What steps do you take to avoid this?
(I'm not sure if all recruiters take a cut. Do all recruiters do this and as a result should all recruiters always be avoided? How can I tell if I am talking directly with the school or with a recruiter?)

Hello friends,
I am doing initial research on how to get a job in China as a Canadian expat (fluent in eng, mandarin).
Is there a formal process that people follow to get a job in China, or is there a job website specific for foreigners, do you need to translate your resume into Chinese - or would it depend on the company that you're applying for?
Anything to help get started would be appreciated!
I am a Canadian born Chinese, who have studied in Shenzhen on/off for a couple years during elementary, middle and high school. Left in 2008 and just went back recently for two weeks. I am amazed at all the changes that has happened to this city. There's now a metro system with the digital payments and safe, vibrant life and many many options for entertainment and food and fun. I went back to Canada and somewhat got a little depressed as soon as I landed - gloomy cold town with crazies roaming the streets.... I have been seriously contemplating relocating to SZ as I can see myself living there again. I currently work at one of the big 5 banks as a product manager - Fluent in Eng and Mandarin (read write speak).
For the expats that are currently living in SZ (or HK), I am interested in your story in how you got there and settled in the city. What was your journey like? What fascinates you? What do you do?
What would be the best route for someone with my background to venture into Chinese markets?
Hi everyone!
My partner and I are looking to move to China for the upcoming school year (August 2024) and teach at lower-tier international or bilingual schools. We both have teaching licenses but not a whole lot of experience (1-year post-grad for me, 1.5 for her), which we fully understand is our weakest point.
I teach middle/high school ELA, and she's looking for Primary. Do you guys have any advice on where we should look to find decent jobs? It seems like we're a bit too qualified for what's being offered on Dave's, yet not qualified enough for Search.
Any advice/recruiter contacts you may have would be greatly appreciated. We're mainly looking at Chengdu, Chongqing, and Nanning, but are more than willing to explore other cities as well.
Thanks in advance!
Hello! I'm a Chinese American graduating from the MBBS program this year. I'm a native English speaker and also proficient in Chinese. I'm on the lookout for non-teaching job opportunities and am open to various fields if I see potential. For any leads, please connect with me on WeChat: RHW0429.
My girlfriend is Cambodian and speaks fluent Khmer (obviously) and English, has a degree in Accounting, and works in Phnom Penh. I, however, just took a position in Beijing. She can't even get a tourist visa to come visit me without a substantial amount of money in the bank, so I suggested to just try and find a job in China and move here like I did. Is this even feasible?
What resources can someone without a background in education and English as a second language use to find work in China?
Hi, my name is Thibault.
I am a first-year student in Business Administration, and I'm looking for an internship in China. Unfortunately, I am not fluent in Mandarin, as I am currently studying the language. I have difficulties in finding contacts with companies in China and was wondering if anyone could help me or give me any advice. My family lives there so finding a place to live is not an issue all I need is to find a company that would like to take me as an intern.
I can also provide my CV for anyone who might be interested.
Thanks a lot!
I need to hire someone to build a website.
About the site: in English and the subject is education. Approximately 50 pages. I'm not selling anything, just various essays on different topics. I'll be writing the essays over time, but as I want to launch it sooner rather than later I'm thinking of using AI to fill the different pages at the beginning, then edit them myself over time.
I'm in Beijing and thought it might be useful to hire someone in this part of the world so we could meet occasionally and go over any changes, etc. Is this idiotic in the age of Zoom?
Is there any advantage to hiring someone in China? For example, so they can translate it (later) or make it WeChat compatible?
Anyone you can recommend?
Hi Friends, I am planning to move to Beijing and looking for a job in healthtech / pharma. I do not speak Chinese, but speak 4 other languages. Do you have any recommendations as to how to approach the job search? Do you know any headhunters who work with expats? Thanks!
I am planning on moving to Changsha or Ningxiang (宁乡 not 宁夏)next school year and would appreciate it if anyone can recommend a bilingual school there. Unfortunately, an international school wouldn't work for me as my Chinese daughter would also need to be enrolled. I'm American, teaching cert, work visa, 7 years experience in China teaching. Thanks for the help!
Hello,
I am a U.S. citizen who has lived in China 2 times 2013-14 school year and 2018 Q1 (before trade war heated up). I was wondering what the best recruiters or companies to utilize for foreigners looking to work in China? I have my M5 visa where I can enter China for 60 days until 2028. I have done industrial sales for the past 5 years in Dallas TX. Been very successful but I studied Mandarin in college and am on the cusp of fluency (8-12 months in China and I will be pretty much fluent I believe). I really want to get fluent in Chinese as I believe it will open up other opportunities for me. I am in the midst of combing my WeChat and LinkedIn for potential networking opportunities. The best recruiters come from your network I understand that, but I just wondered if anyone had positive experience using a recruiter? I prefer to live in Chongqing/ Chengdu, but I am open as long as the opportunity works well for me.
My old college offered me a position to teach some sort or sales or business curriculum next year. It is not a bad opportunity but I would like to do something in the non-education sector.

My wife’s company is transferring her to Shenzhen, so we will move there in July. I have a PhD in social work and was thinking of trying to get a job teaching English. I’ve taught graduate-level social work courses, but I’ve never taught English, so not sure how difficult it will be to get a job.
For context, my wife is from China, and I’ve been there several times. I’m 44 (I know age can be a factor for employment), and my Chinese level is very basic, so I will need to enroll in some intense courses when I get there.
I assume I need to get a TEFL certificate before applying for teaching jobs. What are some reputable companies offering TEFL courses that I can take online before heading to China? Will my age be an issue when looking for teaching jobs? Any reputable recruiting companies that I can contact?
Thanks in advance!
I’m currently in Beijing and trying to stay here for a while at least. I’m trying to find WeChat groups to join for jobs for internationals that are not teaching jobs and that don’t need a Mandarin speaker because I have not yet learned it. Can anyone help me find a few groups as such? My background is in hospitality, operations, and events.
All the advice I can give you in a blog article here:

I'm a Brazilian living in Brazil, i'm actually studying Computer Science and searching for a internship in Brazil. In 2026, i will live in China with my father, but i'm a bit nervous in one question: In Brazil, is VERY HARD to get a job without experience when you're with a bachelor (and the "easiest" way to get a job is get a internship and after 1 year, try a Junior job), if I go to China with only a Internship, will be hard to get my first job as programmer, developer or cybersecurity?
