Want definition, to feel a need or a desire for; wish for.

"wanted" posters for criminals usually say ''wanted'' first. At least they are not looking for teachers dead or alive. Dead might be better, they work for less.

Traveler:

You could just prop them up, and play a recording.

It is standard advertising form over here.  You can't change that.  As for the looking for fugitives, well, that might be another story.

Actually, it is rather standard in the US also.

Employment adds are often called "Wanted Ads".

Even today, you will see "Help Wanted" signs on stores looking for employees.

Now, in the case of fugitives, then usually the "wanted" comes first. For example:

"WANTED: Voltasingh for not drinking enough local beer...."

Should they say they need teachers instead? I want a Ferrari, I need food and a warm apartment.

"Needed, ESL teacher for middle school." 

But who cares? I'm just playing with the syntax.

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
