Q: How to find a job for Asian looking foreigner

How to find a job for Asian looking foreigner? When the interview video call starts, all agencies just reject me saying sorry, but your appearance is not suitable for us. Some agencies just say - we can find you a job if you pay >1000 USD. 

I'm searching jobs related to HR, Coaching/Training/Teaching or Marketing, it's not modelling or acting job...

Do you have skills that are in demand in China?

knowing that many chinese businesses are superficial when it comes to hiring foreigners, you have to prove that you are more than just your skin colour (unfortunately)

Thats a pretty wide range of jobs.

Are you from a native English speaking country? Or did you qualify in a native English country.

Unfortunately that's the rule here.

Bit of a non answer I know. Sorry. Bump you to the main board:-)

I have a friend who taught in China for 1 year. His parents are Chinese. He was born and raised in Canada.  A neutral accent. His degree is from the University of Alberta, Canada. He did not seem to have much trouble.

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
