Hunny797 is correct. The company that has offered you the job has to get the work permit for you. There are quite a few topics on here that tell you what is needed. Use the search function.

I still have the procedure on my clipboard from a question I replied to 10 minutes ago.
Here you go
Here are the instructions I was given by an agent when I was applying for a Z visa:
Step 1: Submit and apply for approval
Step 2: Medical Exam and get the result
Step 3: Apply for the Alien Employment License
Step 4: Apply for the Invitation Letter
Step 5: Apply for Employment visa (Z visa) to enter into China (home country)
Step 6: Apply for <Registration form of Temporary Residence for Visitors> with Z visa.
Step 7: Apply for Alien Employment Permit within 15 days after entering China with Z visa)
Step 8: Apply for Alien Residence Permit (within 30 days after entering China with Z visa)--Need interview
I have just cut and pasted from another document. I am not sure what step one is.
Steps 1,2,3,4,7 and 8 were done with the agent.
Steps 5 and 6 I had to do myself. It turned out however that I did not need to do the medical before going for the Z. I could have done that after I entered China.
Note:
If you applying for a Z visa for the first time, you will have to exit China to get it. You can nominate HK as your requested place, but if it's a pukka job it's easier to have your company pay for your trip home.
