Great article, very well written. I agree with the writer, It's extremely hard for non native English speakers to find jobs even if they are better for the offered position than native speakers.

Good article but you forgot to give some good advice. Unless you are taking a job with a big well-know international company, SOE, or public university, be sure to google the name of the company with the words "complaints, law suit, problem, scam, fraud and employee dispute" to make sure you are not to walk into a pile of grief. China is famous for employee exploitation. You can also try to find an talk with a foreigner already working there and be sure to have your working z visa in hand BEFORE you arrive and not after. A few dozen foreign teachers were just rounded up in the three weeks by the PSB visa squad for working on tourist, student, and business visas. They randomly visit schools and foreigners coming in and out of subway stations. You may only be asked once or twice in a year but if you don't have the right paperwork you can be booted out, fined, or even given up to a five year reentry ban. The more research you do on the internet, the better job you can find yourself without paying an agent, and knowing the visa laws will save you a lot of problems. Welcome to China!
