Q: Do you have any advice for an international graduate who is looking for a job opportunity in China?
8 weeks 4 days ago in Business & Jobs - China
You won't be successful at landing of a job in China 'cause of your too-young age. 
Chinese aren't looking for the fresh grads from western Unis, I read ...
I'll say, it's a personal experience, but Chinese are looking for the experienced laowai workers.
Have a look at requirements for Z (Working) visa and you'll see one of the demands is 2-years of working experience.
Good luck!

I was wrong!
2-years of previous working experience was removed from Z visa requirements, but it use to be there, maybe a year or less, ago.
Also the age of applicants is '18 - 60', so you should try and apply.

I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy.
Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country.
With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage.
Good luck finding something!
