You'll have to change it to Z visa by applying at Chinese embassy in your home country.
Only legal working visa in China is Z visa and all other Chinese entry visas makes you illegal when caught working.

If you find a job, the employer is now able to change the Q visa to a Z with work permit. I just had this done. Not sure if it is normally like this, but since travel is so difficult now and schools are desperate for teachers, rules have changed a bit.
I came in on a Q-2 visa. I had already talked to a few different schools that wanted to hire me, but only if I was already in country. I didn't want to come over on just a "maybe" job offer, but once I had serious interest from 3-4 schools, I got a Q-2 visa (wife is Chinese) and headed over. I accepted a job in Beijing and the school did all the work on changing my Q-2 visa to Z and WP. They even handled getting the necessary documents (background check, notarized docs). I just gave them what they asked for and they took care of the rest.
Hotwater:
They changed your Q2 visa into a work based resident permit. The Z-visa is only a single entry visa the gets you into China. That’s then changed into a resident permit
