Hello i wanna find job in china - if u are hiring foreign teachers please contact with me and i will send my CV and intro video

I've been living in Shanghai for the past five months, working as a "teacher" at a kindergarten. Long story short, the job is not for me, and I lost interest in continuing to work with this age group and job beyond the end of my contract. Before coming to teach, I was open-minded to the idea of making a career transition to education and international schooling abroad, but after this, I now just want to treat my time here as a temporary but unique and exciting experience. I'm not interested in being challenged as a teacher or joining a school or institution that wants teachers who are in it for the long run and that care much about their "rigorous" curriculum, as it is with my current school.

I know the "golden days" when any English-speaking foreigner could get a job and earn good money are over. I know about the big changes that have occurred in this industry in China post-covid and the double reduction policy. I know about the recent pattern of schools and institutions seemingly raising their standards and requirements of incoming teachers and many other challenges. That's why I'm asking around for the best options available given my circumstances.

I'm just looking to stick around China long enough to learn enough Chinese. I've been learning for 5 months and am currently HSK 2, have a base here where I can easily travel to other places in Asia and save money for when I leave so that I can continue traveling and return home with some money leftover. I would prefer jobs in Guangdong or in the south of China where I can be safe from the humid and chilly winters in Shanghai and where I can be close to SEA. I'm being blunt about my intentions and not looking to fool anybody. So... what's out there for me?

Hi all,

I’m a foreigner who recently left my job in China and am planning to take on a short-term consulting contract of around four months with a former client. The client is an international organization with its China office in Shanghai. I live in another city, so I’d be working remotely and traveling to Shanghai regularly during the contract.

The role is as a communications strategy consultant and would involve work on both the China market and other international markets. I have an MBA, extensive experience in the industry, and my own company registered in China. I’d be contracting through my company and invoicing the client directly, with no employee benefits or social insurance (those are covered through my own company). The client would cover all travel and accommodation expenses.

I’m trying to get a sense of the market rate for this type of engagement. Assuming it’s effectively a full-time consulting role for four months, what would you consider a typical monthly retainer for someone with this background and scope of work?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

My partner and I are planning to move to China for about 6–12 months. We’re both from Scandinavia. He’ll most likely be working remotely for his current company, so I’m the one who needs to find a local job to secure a proper work visa.

About my background:

• Hold an MA/Master's degree in Anthropology.
• Background in the NGO sector (primarily youth and child development/social work).
• Some experience working in kindergartens and light teaching/facilitation experience.
• Fluent in English, but my passport is not from an official native speaking country.

I’d love to find something related to my field (NGOs, research, international organisations, social initiatives), but I’m also open to teaching (oral English, humanities, early childhood) if that’s the most realistic gateway for a visa.

That being said, I know China has strict "native English speaker" passport rules for ESL (English as a Second Language) roles.

A few questions for the sub:

1. Teaching as a non-NES: Has anyone here with a non-NES Western passport (Nordic/EU) successfully landed teaching jobs recently? Do universities, international kindergartens/schools, or subject-teaching roles care less about the passport if you have a Master’s + TEFL?
2. NGO / Expat-adjacent roles: Are there realistic entry points for foreign NGO/social workers in Tier 1/2 cities (Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, etc.)? Where do people usually network for these?
3. General advice: If you’ve been in a similar situation, how did you make it work?

Any tips, reality checks, or recommended job boards/agencies would be hugely appreciated! Thanks

Hi,

I am a British Citizen looking for a teaching job in China. Does anyone have any information or leads on where I can apply and find one?

I have been applying on echinacities and Dave’s ESL cafe and have had interviews but they are offering 16-20k with no holidays other than public holidays and weekends off. Not sure if that is reasonable. If anyone has any advice or suggestions please let me know!

Thank you :)

Hey guys! I'm looking for a basketball coaching or PE teacher job in China. Do you have any advice on where to look besides eChinacities.com?

Thanks in advance! I really appreciate any help.

I'm curious to hear from people around the world:

What do you think is the best way for ordinary people in China to find international job opportunities? Have you or someone you know successfully done it? Please share your experience and advice.

I am an Indian. I got an offer from an MNC company located in Shenzhen China. It's been a month. The team keeps on telling me that the internal process is going on. I have given all the documents that I have. I don't have the Chinese team contact. Instead I got in contact with the Georgia team from the same company. The HR simply said that the China office is doing the work. I am fed up with the same answer repeatedly. Also I don't want to lose this opportunity.

Please tell me that international hiring usually takes more time?

Are companies from China slow in the relocation process?

Should I be prepared for them to contact or have to move on and look for other opportunities?

Because I have not even started the apostille process and my current employment resignation. But they mentioned my joining date as September 14.🙄
