I have been in Shenzhen for 2 weeks, now approaching my third week, and can't get a job despite the fact that my native language is english. I applied to so many places it makes me dizzy. is it that hard to get a job in Shenzhen?

well the semester already started so you are a bit late.

And only being native speaker is not a guranteed joboffer

Do you have a degree and experience?

Whats your salary expectation?

You should apply at Training centers in person. I guess, you could apply at Public Schools too, despite semester has already started.

 

You should have your BA and TEFL/CELTA certificate ready for Z visa/ Residence permit.

Open 'Jobs' page at Echinacities (top R side of the screen), change 'city' to Shenzhen, and start sending your CV daily to every job offer in Shenzhen.

Today's job advert of Primary School in Shenzhen:

'Top Urgent!!!!! Public School Teach English position in Shenzhen city'

http://jobs.echinacities.com/jobchapter/1354410403

Don't expect reply from every job, you'll send your CV. If School in China is not interested in your CV, they won't reply. Never mind! Keep sending your CV.

I am not an English teacher so that is hardly relevant.

Not trying to throw mud around, just curious.

It is not a good idea to already be in China and looking for a legal job. You leave yourself open to the very probable chance of being employed illegally by an unscrupulous employer - and there are many of them around.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
