I applied several jobs in Australia without getting replied.I think it is small chances to get job in western countries since I am a foreigner.
I am still working on getting job in those places.Anybody has idears?
The easiest way is to work for a foreign company here in China. If you work in their international department you may get posted overseas although it's not easy. Applying for an overseas job requires you to have certain skills that western countries do not already have. So, do a skills inventory on yourself and see what you have that foreign countries need. If you apply on job sites it's very difficult because you will be competing with everyone in the world who wants the same job.

Most international jobs hired locals in China because they need them to do the work in China.The chance is so low. I saw some Chinese companies are hiring ppl to work in the overseas office.Is it a good way to apply with?Will they pay a much lower salary than those western locals can get?

Chinese companies to work overseas have to register a local branch, thus the employees of such branch "should" benefit of wages as per the host country labor law. But hey, here we're talking about Chinese companies......
will you visit this website often from abroad?
hunny797:
It would be greatly helpful if you can send me a CV of yours...
I can give you some tips on applying immigration but I dont know if you qualify for that..
People from my country are fleeing to Europe Canada Australia like rats abandoning a sinking ship.. I can give you some good help..but that requires me knowing you...

ok.tks.Now i am.working on get my IELTS passed with high scores.I am styding BBC news everyday.
Check out the 457 visa requirements on the Australian Gov't website. These are positions that need to be filled, but can't. You'll need to have specific skills, or knowledge.
Weren't you the Victoria that wanted to screw over your current employer recently and start her own trading company??
There is an abundance of well educated Australians without jobs and an equal abundance of Australian educated Chinese looking for work who are already legally in the country. As you have nothing special to offer why would you think that somewhere like Australia would be interested in you?
Victoria, your best and probably only chance is Africa (working for a Chinese company).
1. Have a qualification in demand. It can be a Master or a PhD in science/engineering.
2. Have a skill in demand. Very good Chinese welders have been invited to work in Australia and they are now Australians http://www.chinasmack.com/2013/stories/chinese-welders-live-the-good-lif...
If Australia is your thing, you can get a good idea of what kind of skills are in demand

The idea is : why someone would employ somebody from the other side of the planet, if there is already a pool of locals with the same skillset, but immediately available without visa hassles to go through ? The idea of immigration is to bring lawful tax payers, not people who are likely to be jobless
DrMonkey:
Ha, to apply for a visa, look what are the mandatory requirements. Usually, you need a minimum score at the IELTS (usually, at least 6). IF you didn't pass that test with the minimal mark, consider training for it.

She could qualify as a toilet auntie at Oodnadatta Pub. Apparently, they can't find anyone qualified to take the position. It's a win/win. See the outback and meet lots of manly men while you gain a valuable skillset and on the job experience.
why the hell would you want a "job" .... I am "over the hill" and never "worked a day in my life.
adequate provider for my family and getting through life without ever doing an honest days work has always been my goal in life and so far, so good.
You have to compete with the locals in that country, as well the company has to arrange your visa. They don't even know you, it's easier for English native speakers get a job in china, the demand of English teachers is high in china
Did you see the lead for Caterpillar I posted for you the other day?
also try Volvo Careers but be warned the site map is not easy to get through
both these company's have heaps of work in China for locals
Sorry, KTV xiaojie is not much in demand in the west.
Try Burger Kings world-wide. They might accept talents and skills such as yours.
to work in major cities in australia after finishing college in australia, you now need a 7 on all 4 parts, clamping down on students staying with bad english. tutoring a student now with a bs accounting degree who cant get the seven in speaking or writing.
Well, Victoria...
It doesn't just take connections like in China, you have to be very skilled in something that is lacking in the country you want to work in. I suggest going to job fairs as some international companies do hold them in China.
Otherwise, I would stick with starting your own company if you can pitch a good business idea to the bank or investors and have some proven success. Why would you want to work for someone else anyway?

I am looking for business partner...Going to overseas is for many other stuffs for the ong term planning.
I'm pleased to say that Autralia is a more realistic possibility for me than for Vicky!
Perhaps one day, I'll be emigrated and set up in Oz-land. Their dislike of Pommies is more of a fun tradition than real nowadays. Christmas in summer will be weird, but at least there are western holidays.
If I ever get there, I'll be sure to resurrect this topic, and gloat a little. Not too much, as that's very unbecoming. Just a little.
