Q: Where would a qualified English speaking nurse begin to look for a job in Shanghai ?

My girlfriend is about to join me here in Shanghai. She has asked me to look for potential employers. As a graduate nurse with a masters in hospital administration I thought this would be an easy assignment but so far I have had no luck, this is despite her in addition to English, speaking both Russian and Italian. Now as her time of arrival approaches I am getting stressed. Can anyone help with suggestions.

Nursing jobs pay horribly here in China if you work for a local hospital.  What I would do is check out all of the foreign clinics and send them a resume/cv with a cover letter explaining that she will be in Shanghai soon and give a brief description of skills.  Here are some places I would suggest:

http://www.parkwayhealth.cn/

http://www.unitedfamilyhospitals.com/

http://www.americanobgyn.com

Honestly, if she speaks English, Italian, and Russian, there are MUCH better jobs she could get her for a lot more money.

no matter what hospital she works in she will need to speak chinese as well. also she will be paid the same as the local workers (low pay) her best bet is to teach english at a medical college but you could look for private doctors offices or clinics that mainly service foreigners

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
