Q: Does everyone here with a Work Visa have the required 2 years work experience outside of China?
Everyone?
10 years 5 weeks ago in Business & Jobs - China
Yes but no degree! 25 years work experience counts for something in Engineering.

My pa will second you. He is a toolmaker. He was distraught when I told him I was moving here. It was akin to me going over to Jerry's side to him.
I am not sure about everyone but I have 2 and a half year post graduation experience.
Most people here are long termers so it doesnt effect us. I have a friend that just got a new visa with a new company 2 weeks ago and he sure didnt.

Sorry the point was that maybe it will effect someone applying for the first time. But our experience in china will count. Dont know if thats the official policy or not but there havent been masses kicked out when re applying
I am 35 and I work since my 18. do I need proove anything still ?
Initially I got a job based on pre-graduation paid part-time work experience. After three years in China I went back to the US for two years of postgrad work experience. Now I'm back in China and opportunities are notably improved.
I had one years' teaching experience. Most employers were willing to waive the requirement even if they stated 4 years as minimum. But I am white with blue eyes, and this is China.

Don't know about everyone else, but I have a Master's, and 5 years experience, as well as a teaching credential.
I came here after getting my teaching certificate. I had my own business teaching in rural parts of my own country in mathematics of all things...
Before going to university at the age of 25 I worked in computer programming and the steel industry - both severely braindead jobs. Nevertheless, the money I made from the monotony and vagina jokes allowed me to pay off my student debt and pay for a one way ticket out of the stagnant (at the time) place I was at the time.
I met my better half in Hunan and we moved together to Hebei. She's completing her studies there and then we'll either return to my home country where I'll be able to make a good salary as an accountant (something which I'm currently studying for extramurally) or we'll buy a house in her hometown and I'll work in Changsha trying to teach baboons to spell.
To be honest, you could pay me in excess of $100,000 to work in NZ and I'd prefer to stay in (South) China and make 40,000 to 60,000 because of the cost of living which is completely ridiculous thanks to business sycophantic career politicians who can't count properly.
