The most common jobs and salaries in China

One of the most common vacancies in 2018 is the position of an English teacher. Moreover, the age range of applicants for such vacancies is 22-60 years. Usually teachers are required for three types of positions - in public schools, in private and in preschool institutions.

The salary for public school teachers is on average 6000-8000 CNY per month (900-1200 $). Private school teachers are paid nearly double the CNY 9000-15000 ($ 1350-2275). Preschool teachers receive 5,000-12,000 CNY ($ 760-1820) per month of work.

CNY is the international abbreviation for the Chinese Yuan.

Similar offers, but already for professorial-level teachers, are also often found in the lists of in-demand vacancies. For example, a teaching position in Arabic at Changchun University. For 12-18 hours of work per week, they are ready to pay 5000-8000 CNY monthly salary and provide a comfortable apartment for free for the entire period of work.

Many open positions in Marketing and PR Internship. Often, such offers provide an opportunity for university students to work as interns. For this category of workers, the average salary is 3,000-5,000 CNY per month, while professional candidates can expect to receive a salary level that is twice as high.

Technical engineers for web applications and software are always in demand in China... There are vacancies for different levels of specialists. Average salary is 6000-8000 CNY per month. However, for professionals, the level of remuneration can reach 30,000-40,000 CNY (4500-6000 $).

The average wage, according to official statistics, was CNY 4,930 ($ 750) at the beginning of 2018. The minimum wage in China varies greatly from region to region. Therefore, the minimum wage range is 1250-2030 yuan per month ($ 190-310). Immigrants also have work for such a salary - for those who have no qualifications and no profession in demand.

… They hire not abstract researchers of objects, but specialists in the basic equipment MPT1327, trunk relays, IP telephony, certified CISCO specialists. And even then there are such guys in China in bulk, who will take a foreigner there without knowing the language ...

Working conditions and language skills

The length of the working day established by Chinese law (Article 36 of the Labor Law) is 8 hours. The amount of time worked per week should not exceed 44 hours. The schedule applies to the entire spectrum of state-owned companies, including private business entities. Foreign companies or firms with foreign capital must also comply with the requirements of the law.

Meanwhile, the Chinese employer has the right to increase the length of the working day if the nature of the production so requires. However, such actions must be coordinated with the trade union organization and labor collective. In case of unforeseen circumstances (natural disaster, accident), the daily working time may be increased without approval, but by no more than 3 hours and no more than 36 hours during a month.

The same Labor Law defines the overtime pay system... If hours in excess of the norm were worked out on a working day, overtime is paid at the rate of 150% of the salary. Overtime on weekends is paid at the rate of 200% of salary. Employment on non-working holidays requires payment of 300% of monthly charges.

One of the important criteria that helps to quickly find a job that meets the needs of job seekers is knowledge of the Chinese language. Linguistic knowledge at the level of the so-called Mandarin is considered good. In Russian society, such an interpretation of the name of the Chinese language is extremely rare. "Mandarin" is a collection of Chinese language dialects - Putonghua, Huayui, Guoyu. This is the basic training that job seekers in China should look to.

Stage of official employment

Immigrants intending to go to the Celestial Empire to earn money will have to apply for a work visa (classified as a Z-visa) to enter the country. Before applying, a foreign national needs to obtain a work permit in China. As a rule, the Z-visa provides for a one-time visit to the country and does not indicate the length of stay.

Video about obtaining a work visa

After obtaining a Z visa, the immigrant must enter China within 90 days. A foreigner arriving in the country is given 24 hours to fill out the Temporary Residence Registration Form and no more than 1 month to finally register a temporary residence permit with the local Public Security Bureau. This service issues a permit to stay in China (China Residence Permit) on the basis of a Z visa. The obtained permit opens the possibility of multiple entry into the country during the year and determines the specific period of stay of a foreigner in China.

Documents for registration:

international passport,
completed application forms (forms V2011A, V2011B),
three photographs 35x45 mm (filming period no more than 6 months),
work permit in original,
original invitation letter from the employer,
copy of educational document (diploma, certificate),
labor contract,
medical certificate of health.

A couple of weeks ago I signed a contract with the English school English First with a salary of 6500 yuan a month + compensation for an apartment + two flights a year home + a visa, because I urgently needed to renew my visa and pay for an apartment ...

Requirements for an applicant for a work visa

An applicant for a Z visa must:

go through the interview procedure with the employer,
receive an official invitation from the host,
receive a copy of the original employment contract,
submit a certificate confirming knowledge of the Chinese or English language,
submit an educational document confirming the qualifications.

Work visa extension rules

The extension of the work visa is carried out again through the Public Security Bureau. To complete the operation, you must submit an application to this service no later than 30 days before the expiration of the current visa. The package of documents required for renewal is the same as for the initial registration.

... I am an English teacher with good teaching experience in China (but part-time). I am going to go to Shenzhen to a private language school full time (6 days a week). Now I am in Hong Kong.

Work permit for foreigners, including Russians

Any foreigner intending to engage in labor activities in the Middle Kingdom must have an appropriate permit. In fact, the employer is directly involved in this. However, an applicant for a job must prepare and send a package of documents to the employer:

copies of the pages of the foreign passport,
copies of certificates, diplomas,
resume of the applicant,
one photo 35x45 mm,
copies of the pages of the work book,
a copy of the medical certificate of health.

The entire package of documents must be translated into English or Chinese (preferably into one and the other). It is recommended to notarize the documents. Particular attention is paid to the medical certificate, which must be with a photograph, notarized and confirmed by the signatures of the main specialists.

... Medical examination for a foreigner in Russian, but at the moment it is no longer possible to find it there, check with the employer what kind of certificate he will need to obtain a work permit. We were asked for a form with a photo on it and stamps, but maybe 82 with translation will do ...

Consequences for attempting illegal employment in China

It should be noted right away that foreigners convicted of illegal entry into China, illegal residence or illegal employment may end up being deported and banned from visiting the country for 5 years.

Under the new immigration law, an employer faces a fine of 10,000 to 100,000 yuan for every illegally employed immigrant. The new version of the law stipulates that a foreign worker must have documents:

identity cards,
employment permits,
permission to stay in the country.

If there are none, the immigrant may be fined between 5,000 and 20,000 yuan. In some cases, custody is applied in addition to the fine.

Foreigners living in the country illegally, for the first time, can do with a verbal warning... However, if the warning is ignored, the violators will face a fine of up to 10,000 yuan and imprisonment for 5 to 15 days.

Internship in China

There are probably more offers of internships in China than in any other country. Actually, this is easily explained by the economic growth that the Celestial Empire is experiencing. Internships are available in a variety of areas:

tourism and hotel management,
management and PR marketing,
finance and trade,
mechanical engineering and interior design,
journalism and TV-Media,
art, communication, sports.

There are many programs that any interested person can use to choose a suitable practice option. The duration of an internship in China can be 3, 6, 12 months. Trainees are usually offered simplified conditions for obtaining and extending visas. Most of the internships are paid at the rate of $ 300 - $ 1000 per month. Temporary housing is provided to foreigners. Going for an internship in China is a great chance to get acquainted with the realities of life in a new country and even make some money.

To participate in any internship-related program, the trainee must:

apply,
attach a resume,
get an interview (usually by phone, via Skype),
get an offer for an internship.

…Hello everybody! I did an internship in Qiqihar - 2 hours from Harbin (Heilundzian). I really liked it. Before the trip, you need to decide - why do you need to go there ?! If you combine study with parties, then it is better to choose a center, although if you have cash, all roads are open. And at our university we studied according to the Beijing curriculum and Beijing textbooks. BUT! training was 2 times cheaper ...

Business immigration as a way to move to China

Resettlement to the Middle Kingdom through investment methods is an option for acquiring a residence permit, which involves significant investments in the Chinese economy. On this score, the authorities are putting forward proposals, the cost of which is from 500 thousand to 2 million dollars. It all depends on which region of the country the businessman is ready to invest in. These funds are usually considered as the authorized capital of a business created in the country.

Video about business in China

The Chinese authorities are always ready to accept and serve the wealthy foreigners according to the upper class - to quickly obtain a permanent residence. Investors don't even need to provide proof of language proficiency... A temporary residence permit can be obtained along with the purchase of Chinese real estate. However, it is almost impossible to become a citizen of the Celestial Empire.

Business immigration involves the issuance of a type "M" visa, which requires the following documents:

application from a foreign investor,
one color photograph 35x45 mm,
foreign passport in original and copies of important pages,
an invitation from the Chinese business community,
confirmation letter from authorized Chinese institutions,
a license or certificate confirming the applicant's status as an investor or owner of the company.

Many of those who have now settled comfortably in the Middle Kingdom started with a work visa and work permit. The work is interesting and with a perspective opens up wide horizons for foreigners.

During the last trip, there was a clear realization that I wanted to fly to another country for a long time, live, work, save money. It was not so important what kind of work to do, but I wanted to live surrounded by beautiful nature, so that there were mountains nearby. The choice was made in favor of Alaska and the northern territories of Canada. The region is extremely interesting for me, but life is a funny thing, and when the trip came to an end, one good man and an avid traveler told me about the option of looking for a job in China. After a few days, having understood everything, I realized that working in China is the best option at the moment. The only thing left was to find a job.

Work in China for Russians. English teacher vacancy

Probably the most popular vacancy in China in recent years, not just for Russians, is an English teacher. Today, learning English is a trend in China. Even young children, having recently learned to speak their own language, start learning English. It should be clarified that in China, people are mainly looking for people who initially speak English. Americans, Australians, British, residents of South Africa and New Zealand, frequent guests in the Middle Kingdom. Working conditions for them are better than for Russians and residents of other countries. An important role is played by the presence of certificates of the TEFL type and the like. We are with you consider option how to find a job in China for English teacher vacancies, with no experience work as a teacher, without certificates and not originally speaking English. It turns out it's pretty straightforward.

the apartment is paid by the inviting party (as a rule, you pay only the costs of utilities and the Internet. In my case, all bills are paid by the school)
insurance included
60 RMB per hour recycling

Update. May 2017.

Since May 2017, I got a new job at a training school on much better conditions. In this article he told in detail why he decided to change the company, what conditions were offered and how to get a job there.

Site for finding a job in China

In order to find a job in China for the vacancy of an English teacher, we need the following website: eslcafe.com/jobs/china/

I give you a link to the section on job search it is in China as other sections offer to find a job as a teacher in South Korea, Japan, as well as Argentina, Bolivia and many other countries. Immediately, I will make a small digression about finding a job as an English teacher in Japan and South Korea, and then go directly to the instructions.

Job search in South Korea and Japan

On the specified site, you can see vacancies in the specialty of an English teacher, for employment in South Korea and Japan. As we managed to understand, in these countries people are looking for the so-called native speakers(that is, people for whom English is native). The salaries are good, but getting a job is much more difficult. Especially if you have no teaching experience and special certifications. Below we will look at a way to avoid wasting time on schools that mistakenly send you job applications, believing that you are a native speaker.

Work in China for Russians. Detailed search instructions

Go to the above site. Before us is a section of job search directly in China. You can immediately assess the level of salaries and offers. Regarding offers of 12-16,000 RMB, without experience teaching and innate English on such salaries is not worth licking your lips. At least until you gain experience. 99% of you will be offered the vacancy of an English teacher for children 4-10 years old.

To summarize, for successful job search in China, you need three components:

Determined to travel to China.
The level of English is sufficient to pass the interview.
Be able to compose and post a resume

Work in China for Russians. We compose and post a resume

The screenshot shows how to navigate to posting your resume. By clicking on the link, there will be a form that must be filled out.

Step by step, we write our own name, email for communication and receiving offers. In Subject, you need to register title, by which potential employers will find you. Please note that resumes of other applicants are published on this page. The name can be borrowed from them. Also recommend indicate country in which you want to work.

Below the Subject field, you will have the opportunity to place your summary... If you don't want to bother creating your own resume or don't know how to do it, see my screenshot. It took no more than half an hour to compose. I downloaded the first one I found on the Internet, indicated some data about myself and sent it.

Working as a teacher in China. Preparing for the interview

If in your resume you did not admit that you were flying to burn down Chinese villages and rape Chinese women, expect the first offers from potential employers in your mailbox in a couple of days. You need to understand that not everyone is interested in you without teaching experience and certificates. Many, having learned that you are Russian by birth, will also refuse you. Our task immediately weed out employers that are not interesting to us.

To do this, using Movavi Screen Capture or similar programs, we record a short video where we talk about ourselves. There is no need to tell how you love money, that the ruble is dead and that is why you are going to China. Say that you love children, you have a desire to join the Chinese culture ... your imagination works no worse than mine, I'm sure you will figure out what to say. The archive will also contain the installation file of the program. YouTube in China does not work for everyone, so it's better to upload your presentation to other video hosting sites.

We create letter template to respond to potential employers. This will save our time. When sending the template, do not forget to attach to the letter a link to a video presentation, a scan of your passport, a photo (like a passport), a scan of your diploma and resume. Thus, we leave only those employers who are really interested in us. We will work with them.

How to behave in an interview?

Well done, a lot has already been done to get a job in China. Left pass the interview and it's in the bag. I advise you not to put too much importance on the interview. Most likely, the interviewer will be a resident of China and, like you, not fluent in English. He or she, too, is a person and just like you, will experience a certain amount of stress. If the first interview is lumpy and because of excitement you get a polite refusal, remember, there are plenty of options. Try again and you will get the job. Everything depends only on desire and skill fight your fears. And the most important advice - smile... A sincere smile, in this case, is half the battle.

The contract is yours, you got a job in China

Within a few days, you will receive a response from the employer. If you can manage your anxiety at the interview, the answer will be yes. If the result is positive, you will be sent a contract, where point by point all working conditions will be listed. We re-read everything, clarify the incomprehensible, sign, send and go to the Chinese embassy or consulate for a visa. We will consider how to get a visa to China later, in a separate article.

If the answer is no, don't be discouraged. Try as many times as necessary to get a positive result.

Help finding a reliable employer in China

In the comments, you can ask for contact details, I will send them to you by mail. Most importantly, make sure you fit the requirements. In this case, you will have to work on a prepaid basis. The contacts are reliable.

I can also recommend you to a large training center in Chengdu, in which he personally worked for 1 year. But the requirements are high. You need fluent English, no obvious accent, positive energy and, most importantly, a firm intention to move to China for at least 1 year.

If you are ready to change your lifestyle and go to China, please clarify what kind of contacts do you need(agent or training center) and your real work experience... If you are not sure, please do not ask for contacts. Let's not waste your time, mine, or people who are employed. The contacts of the training center in Chengdu are relevant for residents of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The company can help in obtaining a work visa for residents of Russia, while residents of Ukraine and Belarus, upon successful completion of all stages of the interview, will have to work on student or business visas.

Summer 2018 update... Temporarily I am not forwarding the contacts of the training center to Chengdu. At the moment they only need native English speakers

China is a dynamically developing country. Despite the high unemployment rate, many foreigners want to come to one of the industrial centers of this country to earn money. Indeed, work in China is quite profitable for foreigners, since there is a shortage of skilled labor. But it is necessary to leave for permanent residence competently, having prepared a workplace for yourself in advance.

Today China has entered into active opposition to the US economy. There is a trend towards a depreciation of the yuan to stimulate exports. This makes it possible to increase production volumes, so the country needs qualified personnel.

The country's unemployment rate is around 5%, but it will decline if the yuan continues to weaken. Taking into account its depreciation not only in the external, but also in the domestic market, the level of wages is gradually increasing. Today it is about $ 1,000 a month. At the same time, there is an increase of 50–70 dollars per year.

The advantages of finding a job here are that the Chinese are willing to pay big money to work in narrow specialties. The country lacks qualified labor force, and its inflow is achieved through the provision of high salaries.

Demand for workers from Russia and Ukraine

Specialists from Russia and Ukraine are in demand in China in narrow areas.

Most often they are hired in the following areas:

industry and construction;
education;
medicine;
aviation;
model business;
services sector.

Low-skilled labor from Russia and Ukraine is facing stiff competition from the Chinese themselves, so it is not advisable for ordinary workers to go to this country to work in a restaurant or factory. But more often than not, he is interested in how much you can earn if you get a job in a technical specialty. A man in China will receive a similar salary with a woman in the same position in a particular firm.

The most demanded professions in China

There is a list of the most in-demand professions in China for foreigners. By applying for these positions, you can get a good job in the country, since the salary is slightly higher than the average income of the average Chinese.

subway train driver;
IT specialist;
engineer;
middle and senior managers;
English language teachers;
civil aviation pilots;
models;
translators;
doctors;
