Firstly, I'd suggest that you brush up on your English if you want a part time teaching job then I would find somewhere to live with great security so that you can't be arrested in the wee hours for working illegally.

I hope this helps wink

I say learn skills. Take online classes on database software or excel.

 

So what you speak mandarin fluently?...unless they want to explicitly be "the foreigner guy" at a shitty little local company if you don't have real business skills no one is going to hire you regardless.

 

Learn skills, as in get better at them than you can find in the local job market, show a ton of initiative to get ahead and maybe there will be an opportunity here for you. Otherwise just get a job teaching english and make do with that.

 

I don't know what else to say...no one is going to trust an expat with any real responsibility unless they can do something special.

are you a foreign worker or student?

you say nothing about yourself or your background.

if you are a foreign (legal) worker, it is illegal to work a second job.

if you are an illegal foreign worker, don't come crying here: get yourself legally employed

if you are a student contact your university for the terms of your student visa and if you are allowed to work (i don't think you are)

if you are looking for legal work, you will have to leave the country to get the correct official documents to apply for a Z visa

if you are looking to work illegally, you are on your own

A:You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holding English Teaching license in your home country.2nd: Your BA degree should be completed in a native English country. Once, you fulfilled these 'parameters', you qualify for an English teaching job in China as a non-native English sneaker with Z - Entry/working visa with Working and Residence permit later on. See the last 'Answers Highlight' ---> there is a web link posted about 'requirements for teaching English language in China as a non-English native passport holder'. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china#paragraph-item-63614-target

*English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL). I'd say, Chinese will choose and look especially for a native English speaker at teaching of English Literature job openings. Posted job adverts for English Literature teaching are most likely from International Schools in China. Good luck! -- icnif77
