[quote=GAFFER,420139]For a foreigner to obtain employment in China he/she needs to be an "expert" in some field. A prospective employer must be registered to employ foreigners and must ensure that the job cannot be filled by a Chinese worker. Simply being able to speak English may not qualify you for a job, many Chinese also speak English. However, if the job is teaching English (or another language) and that is your native language then the chances improve. Rules have tightened recently and usually schools and colleges will require a degree, teaching qualification and perhaps 2 years of teaching experience. These rules might be relaxed if the job is in a less desirable location. In some circumstances a foreign owned company be be allowed to transfer staff from their own country to work in an office in China, but they usually need more qualifications than just speaking English.[/quote]
