Q: Chinese/English/Spanish speaker, which kind of job to look for?
Hi!
I'm an Spanish teacher from Madrid living in China. I have lived here for more than 3 years. Last year I was teaching English/Spanish in an international language school, but the owner was kind of crazy, he was messing with my visa, not paying the overtime, sometimes not paying the full amount of my salary, he wasn't following the contract at all. I could manage to work there for 6 months but I had to left at the end.
This happened 1 year ago, since then I have been looking for a job, but 2012 wasn't my lucky year and I couldn't find any Spanish teaching job. I speak fluent Chinese, English and Spanish is my mother tongue, apart from a teaching job, which kind of job can I look for? ( My major is Spanish Language )
I have found some translating jobs but since I don't have any experience it's kind of hard to get them.
So, do you guys know which kind of job can I look for? I don't want to leave China cause I'm happy here, but each month is getting harder...
Thank you!

If you want to do translations I would email all the small and medium translating agencies in Spain to see if they need a freelancer who can do Spanish-Chinese translations
Also there are quite a few companies from Spain and South America looking for "business developers" (aka sales people) that can speak Chinese, Spanish and English, but this is a completely different field and you may not like it.
Red_Fox:
Totalmente de acuerdo. Absolutely agree. Contact Spanish companies doing business in China. Check out the Camaras de Comercio in the major cities of Spain and contact each and every Spanish company that has a foothold in China. You are here, you speak Chinese (que suerte, macho!) and you can be a valuable asset to any of those companies. Animo!
Are you available? I need your services. Please call 13818126084
the only things you can do with languages as major is, teaching and translating/interpreting i guess.
teaching job fairly easy to get but who likes that?
if your language is rare than you might also easy find a translation job without experience. but i dont know about the salary for translating, seems most is not professional and so they pay little
I would look into online/freelancing translation jobs in different countries in the meantime, while still submitting yourself to schools to teach English.
The market for Spanish teachers is centered around Shanghai and Beijing with some posts in Suzhou because of a large Latin American presence there.
You don't say where you are.
