Q: How to get a job in a foreign invested company?
I am a Chinese and majored in English since college. I am now working in a E-Commerce company but I always want to work with foreigners or work in a foreign countries. But it is difficult. What can I do?

You ve been posting visa services ads here for so long..
I am sure if you are a legit service company you must be having so many foreign friends whom you helped. They can pay you back by helping you getting foreign visa...
Once you move to another country you ultimately get a job
It is one thing that they are looking for visa service but it is another thing that they offer you a job. I am worried....
I think I know what the OP is asking.
He wants to work in a foreign company with a facility in China that could give him the opportunity to travel abroad.
I work in such a company, and dozen of Chinese colleagues have had to spend time abroad working on projects. I have Chinese friends who are abroad at this moment working on long term secondments.
As always, the CV (or Resume) is the key. Companies want experience as well as qualifications. Indeed, forged qualifications are so common here that most people I know tend to ignore that part of the CV and concentrate on the experience.
Unfortunately, my experience is in manufacturing and I know nothing about E commerce.
My advice would be.... you need to get work in a coastal area as this is where most of the foreign companies are based. Start with a Chinese company, if possible a company that supplies a foreign company. From there try to get into a major OEM that manufactures directly for the west. After a couple of years there you will stand a good chance of getting your job in a foreign company with travel.
But as always, there are no shortcuts. It will take a few years of postgrad work experience to get the skills you need to make you marketable.
Good luck 
laurazou:
thanks for your advice. Experience is really important, I guess. Anyway, I think I should work hard and wait for more opportunities coming.
ScotsAlan:
Also, in the company I work in, almost all the recruitment is done via agencies.
I will ask the HR department what agencies they use and PM you the details.
Honestly,
Unless you know the right people, it is hard to get jobs in foreign-invested companies. I worked in China for about 5 years, and the only way I EVER got good job offers was by networking with the right people, and networking in the right way.
There is a great article about professional networking that can give you a few tips.
There are also tons of great articles on Careerealism, Elite Daily and other websites that might help you learn how to meet business contacts and find better jobs.
