If you don't have BA, it's too early, but it won't cost you anything to try at FindJobs and start sending your job applications.

Chinese job recruiters don't answer to the each job application with "Thank you for your application ..." same as western recruiters do. Chinese just move to the next, more suitable job application, so 'never stop sending your job applications to the new job openings!' was my moto.

Looking for the new position was like a part-time job in my time in China.

 

If I would be hiring, I'd say, you're too young. Now, Chinese Language Schools might not think the same.

You need two years of work experience to qualify for a work permit, so yes. 

Melees:

This is false. You do not need it anymore.

You do not need 2 years of experience as suggested above. If you're a fresh graduated from a high ranked university (e.g. QS50) then you direclty qualify in most cities. I went this pathway in Guangzhou and it worked without 2 years of experience.

icnif77:

Indeed, '2 years of previous working experience' was removed from '2026 Z visa requirements'.

I've always thought, that requirement was placed in order to prevent too young people, i.e. fresh grads apply at English teaching jobs, but OP will graduate next year, so 'yes. it is too early to apply ....'
