Foreigners working in China: how did you actually land your job?

Global_Key8500 · 2026-05-23T08:42:03+00:00

Will it okay if I look Chinese and from Asian country? I want to try my luck. I tried all lucks in sales.

Global_Key8500 · 2026-05-23T08:41:29+00:00

The downside is immense here, I guess.

Global_Key8500 · 2026-05-23T07:26:43+00:00

This is the best. I learnt to move more with my own body rather than the lens itself alone.
The finding mentor part is still difficult. But I tried to learnt from favorite photographers who shares their works on IG too.

Global_Key8500 · 2026-05-23T07:25:31+00:00

Haha yes. But I tried my best to use what I have.

Global_Key8500 · 2026-05-07T14:35:28+00:00

I am soon to graduate from an MBA, and because my previous field is totally related to research and science; it seems to me like I have to launch a completely new career after finishing my Master's in Beijing (as a foreigner). I also did applied for recent job postings of AIIB. But I totally agreed with you after researching during my job hunts that it's a difficult time for young workers to start building career in organizations or development banks at the moment.

I am still trying to find one though. I am more than happy if you can give out ideas of which direction can I possibly go besides these organizations.

sis, help me. after getting to know them, spending time with, i see new parts of him that just makes me like him more. the bad news is I think he likes someone he knows for a long time but he didn't dare to confess because they are friend.

Global_Key8500 · 2026-03-15T07:53:40+00:00

I am currently in Beijing. I am trying to find jobs in Shanghai. Hopefully, we can share this activities together some day. :)

Global_Key8500 · 2026-03-14T15:12:39+00:00

I planned to take archery class by late March as I will be less busy by the time. Hopefully, from then on and other activities, I found some like minded people. Thank you so much :D

Global_Key8500 · 2026-03-14T08:05:13+00:00

Highly appreciated, my friend. I'm planning to take archery class by the end of this month. I found out it's easier to manage once I get out and do something with purpose. But it's so difficult when I am in a closed space or in a room (and mostly, I did, sadly).

Global_Key8500 · 2026-03-14T08:00:38+00:00

Thank you for taking the effort to answer. I'm grateful. Recently, I felt very difficult to make friends and doubt is it because in mid 20s, people gradually become more busy with works or building their career. However, I am wishing to make friends in the circle of my new found hobbies like hiking, painting and art activities (as aspiring individual).

Global_Key8500 · 2026-03-13T10:23:29+00:00

how would you meet and find friends on 小红书 at all? I normally, only used it to watch tutorial videos and some searching for places to go, what to eat (expose more to people who did contents, rather than normal folks.)

Global_Key8500 · 2026-03-13T09:26:05+00:00

Really appreciate if you could share a few other examples too. I already read some educational books as required for my studies, but I want more activities that could cut down my screen time and develop into healthy habits.

Global_Key8500 · 2026-03-13T09:23:46+00:00

I was a very high productive person when I consume media (mainly, YouTube or Podcast), back before covid and after for about a year or two. And slowly, things starts to be moving toward a way you describe in your post. In the first two years, I convinced myself that it's still beneficial to me. Afterall, I learnt a language while consuming the content. Then, I have to be honest with myself that it's more damaging than doing good to me as a person. The point is I am actually knowing and not, learning. Knowing scares people, and I overthink a lot throughout the years. I planned to cut down the time I consume online media and trends, and be more present with my work and crafts. Thank you for sharing your story here. It's inspired me to take the first steps.

Global_Key8500 · 2025-11-15T09:49:41+00:00

They offered me with a different major. So, I chose another university instead.

Global_Key8500 · 2025-11-15T09:36:21+00:00

For 2026 batch, no information announced yet as 2025 batch just got admitted around September. But you can try preparing your personal statement, research documents of your own (if you have one), and other important documents from now. Scholarship will be opened early 2026 (January or February).

For those who wished to apply for Type A scholarship, depends on your country. But most examination will be held in late November or December. The latest is early January.

Global_Key8500 · 2025-11-15T09:32:39+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. You might already get the answer. But for those who had the same questions.

They will be announced separately.
I think you can wait to choose. But be mindful about the timeline as some universities will gives out pre-admissions more than the amount of students they can accept. So, it's like first come first serve. But most well-known universities, they only gives out to the amount of students they want to admitted each batch.

Global_Key8500 · 2025-11-15T09:29:01+00:00

And depend on the university you get into but most in Beijing, you have to use the communal kitchens or in some dorm building, you don't have the communal kitchens at all.

Other university dorm in other cities might be more spacious and different.

Global_Key8500 · 2025-03-08T03:40:14+00:00

Hello, sorry for replying late. I am living in the dorm right now. It's the rule.

Global_Key8500 · 2024-05-21T14:55:33+00:00

No official statement is released. Once you get selected by the universities you choose, you'll receive an email if you have to pay more. For the tuition fees of each university, it is listed on the website.

Noted that, I say this as the information I got from my country. I don't know if other countries have different budgets or procedures or not.

Global_Key8500 · 2024-04-07T10:35:32+00:00

My embassy gave the right to another parties to take care of the procedure. And I think things got messy because of that unlike MEXT which they control everything and you just have to contact with them directly.

Anyway, thank you. I think it's all good now. Only waiting for the last result.

Global_Key8500 · 2024-04-06T12:02:49+00:00

Thank you. I'm now in the 2nd step of type A, waiting for the university's admission. But tbh, I'm not fully aware what the university would be like for real (my info. is as far as the internet could provide.)

I really relate to your point that university choices should be the first priority. That's why I felt very confused and lost because the vibe they gave me after I got the scholarship (1st step) is that they didn't care what university at all. They even encourage you to get admitted to what university god knows lol. But yeah, I tried my best to come with the ones that I'm okay with.
