2. Getting a job in your own country is hard enough as it is.
What about finding a job in China?

3. Job searchers all over the world search for jobs in
two ways. There are those who go with the
traditional way of searching for jobs and there are
those who seek the more creative route. The
traditional way of searching for a job is the one that
involves looking out for any kind of published
advertisement of jobs and trying to match your
resume to the specifications that are made on the
advert.

4. One of the things you can do to improve your chances
of securing a job as an Expat in China. is to do
thorough research in the industry you would like to.
This gives you an upper hand over other expats
looking to secure a job in the same industry.

6. Contact Information
The other thing that can shorten the amount of time
it will take for you to secure a job in China is making
sure you have a number of contacts of some of the
companies in the industry you would like to work. To
get these contacts, you will need to do some research.
It is advisable to get the contact information from the
companies’ websites since doing so enables you to
get reliable contacts

8. Networking
One mistake that a lot of expats make when they are
looking for a job in China is to network with the intention
of selling themselves by saying what great employees
they would make in order for them to get jobs. It is
important to sell yourself by doing this. However, it is
important to know when you are supposed to do it. You
need first to know what the person you would like to hire
you requires from an employee and what they stand for.
This will allow you to know exactly what expectations the
different managers have.

10. Ripple Effect
It is important to utilize the ripple effect when you are
in search of a job in China. For instance, when you
notice that a certain company is hiring more
employees than the average, you should be able to
think critically about the many opportunities that this
means for you when it comes to employment. The
company might not have a specific job you are
qualified for but the changes it is undergoing can
greatly affect the supply chain.

12. Utilize technology
Today, technology has made it very easy for people to
find jobs through different social media networks. You
can utilize a platform like LinkedIn to create your
profile in which you include your skills, qualifications,
educational background, and other things that make
you stand out from your competitors.

14. Best Time for a Job Search
Apart from using the best strategies to look for a job
in China, it is also important to know when to look for
these jobs. Timing is very important when you are
looking for a job. There are times where the
employment opportunities are higher in China and at
these times, you have a higher chance of getting an
excellent job.

15. Knowing these times is the key to securing the best
job within the shortest amount of time. When in
China, it is also important to look out for new project
completions. For example, if a hotel is under
construction and it is in the final stages, you ought to
look at this as your employment opportunity. When
the hotel is complete, they will need some staff to do
different things to keep the hotel running.

16. Whether you are good in management, sales,
marketing or any other department, you have an
opportunity there. Basically, you will need to keep a
close look at what is happening around you and
communicate with the right people in order to be
able to take advantage of such opportunities.
