Expat Guide on career choices in Shanghai:
job search, studying, volunteering, courses and classes
Unless you speak Chinese, your
job search will be limited to a handful
of multinationals or expat services. We thererfore have dedicated a section on Mandarin and list institutions who offer classes.
Try to do your homework before you
leave on the field in which you want
to work, and try to find a connection
- no matter how remote - in that field
in Shanghai.
Executive search firms and online job sites, along with the traditional print media are the most popular way of finding jobs for locals, but in the small expat world, many jobs are found through networking, and this is an avenue that you shouldn't underestimate.
Joining business associations, chambers and social groups to attend their mixers is often the most effective way to find a job. Visit the section Business Contacts.
To find jobs in Shanghai and the region you should visit the online search facility below with over 12,000 jobs listed. You should also apply for regional jobs in other Chineses cities.

We have compiled a large section of information on expatriate employment contracts, as we felt that information on the Internet was very limited. However, this information should by no means be considered as a substitute for expert advice and we strongly recommend you hire a lawyer before you sign any overseas assignment contract as too much is at stake.
