how do foreigners find a job in Beijing

Isn't this jumping the gun? Don't you have to finish your Masters before you start working?

i mean if i could find a part-time job!

thebeijinger.com could help

Hi sori_3880, Sorry to discourage you, but you are in same situation as many other "just graduated chinese" folks, so to say it quickly, it would be a bit of a fight to find something.
From the "legal" point of view, with a student visa you're not allowed to work, and to get a work visa you should be able to demonstrate some experience. Be aware of part time jobs without proper visas..
Now talking to what's really happening out there: schools and languaje related businesses are always happy to hire a foreign face to their ranks, so even missing papers could be overlooked if the right candidate appears and some visa companies can manage to provide the right work visa for a good amount of money.
If you really want it, load yourself with patience!
Good luck!

Oh..so sorry mam..i didn't see..but thank you for the information

Man: do people not plan things anymore???So hes moving to China with his girlfriend, is he educated to at the University level?, what skills does he have? Do you realize just how difficult it is to get a work visa here? and why is Mommy writing on his behalf.  Young lady, you may want to take a strong look at your boyfriend.

work visa is hard yes. I do obtain one through my own S-corp as a potter/artist in Jingdezhen, but with that said I too want to maintain a "real' studio there and it is difficult.  I do appreciate your knowledge so please maybe give us all some tips on living in China. I do go there a few months each year but always feel like "on the down low", and i dont like that feeling.  I want legitimate studio and production. ship my work back to United States, sell it, then come back and make more....easy plan right.....yeah right!!!! thanks again.

U can check this website the beijinger , and some other Chinese websites, I have seen some companies r recruiting foreigners. What kinda job r u looking for?

Any work will do mam..

Many English teaching job on beijinger , u can take a look

I am currently here in macau mam..
It is too hard to get a visa going to mainland china

My boyfriend already had his job..he is going to start his trainee next week..i am the only one looking..:-)

Oh really? I didn't know it's difficult to get a work visa in China.. Where r u from? Have u checked the English teaching jobs? They can't offer u work visa?

No not yet mam..
Thank you for your time..
God bless

Are you filipina? if so, you must be looking for a domestic position.  Those are much easier to find in Hong Kong.  Mainlanders don't use domestics that much unless you are in a foreign dominated area in Shanghai or Beijing.  You may have to go through an agency to acquire all the paperwork you require and that is costly.  English teaching companies will hire non native speakers, but for far less than they pay native speakers.  Good Luck

Not all filipina is looking for a domestic helper as their job sir..and fyi many filipino and filipina are teacher here and in other countries..and lot of filipinos here are working in casinos and hotels..any way thank you sir for your information..good luck sir..

I'm not going to candy this up to make you feel better, I made an assumption that perhaps I shouldn't have.  However, it is a fact that non-native teachers in China make far less money than native speakers.  If you are having visa difficulties, you may not have the qualifications mainland is looking for. Every year, there are close to 7 million Chinese University grads on the job market. It is only right that China take care of their own prior to looking after the interests of foreigners.  I don't say this to be argumentative, it's simply fact and that's the way the world works...I was simply trying to help.
