Q: Have you heard of others getting around 2-years relevant work experience requirement

Have you heard of others getting around 2-years relevant work experience requirement for getting a work visa from Beijing?

 

I have been told multiple times now that foreigners are now required to have 2 years professional experience in their home country after graduation from college in order to be eligible for a work visa in China.

 

*This is for editing, not teaching.* (and other non-teaching positions)

 

I personally have over 2 years relevant experience, but because not all of it was after my graduation from college they didn't accept it. I think this is also a technicality that is enforced more aggressively in Beijing. What is your experience?

I'm sure you can put down experiences while you were in college or before. Work experience! I was in the military before I ever went to college so that right there is at least a couple of years worth of work experience. Plus you can put down you were a volunteer if you ever were and that could also be work experience

 

FruitIsGood:

Well the technicality was that it had to be after college graduation to count for being in a company according to the visa agent. I graduated in 2011, so irrespective of having well over 2 year in total, I haven't been out of college for over 2 years yet.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
