The 21st century is the Asian Century. At the center of the action is China. There are almost 1 billion native Chinese speakers and it’s becoming necessary to learn the language in order to work with and in China.

Most people with the desire to live and work in China head there as an English teacher because it is easy thing to do and with such a huge demand for learning English, it dwarves all the other competition for jobs.

But many of these teachers would love to have a job using their full potential, using more of their skills (Chinese language skills, sales/marketing, programming), but they just don’t know where to look or how to go about getting such a job.

Above all, working in China gives you a new way of thinking. As a bridge between East and West many new work opportunities will open up to you.

Chinese companies more and more are seeking to find a way to reach foreign markets. They need foreigners who can bridge the gap using their knowledge of said foreign markets.

Hello/你好! I’m Nick Lenczewski. I help people find jobs and create a life in China. In 2011, after 4 years of working as an English teacher in China, I myself landed my dream job of working for an international company in China, helping them improve their communications as the director of language and cultural development. Since then I've had multiple interviews, job offers, and jobs in China doing things like sales and marketing, quality control and Mandarin translation and interpretation in all kinds of situations from parent teacher conferences to heart surgery. I'm the author of Ultimate China Guide: How to Teach English, Travel, Learn Chinese & Find Work in China and have been mentioned on sites like Sinosplice, EnterChina, China Business Cast, and Fluent in 3 Months.

Things weren't always so great though. When I first started looking for non-teaching jobs in 2009, there was almost no information out there about how to do it. As a result, I applied to dozens of jobs I thought were a good fit for my skill set, but never heard back from companies. I was going about finding jobs in China all wrong.

So even if you've tried finding a job in China and have yet to succeed, or are teaching English in China but want to find something that is a better fit for your skill set, I promise that you can do it.
