First of all thanks evilbun for sharing your experience online, read all 5 pages.

Now if one of you can point me in the right direction that would be great

Are recruitment agency used often in China? Just feel like going to few of them and do their interview and let them find jobs for me, kind of lazy in sending hundreds of CV out.
Yes, there are plenty of headhunters here.

I dont mind going to China first and actually take my time to find a job while I travel around.

Hi buddy,

I've been receiving quite a number of PMs asking me about this thread. To be more clear on job options in China (or Guangzhou to be specific), I've updated post 1 of this thread. Based on your number of years in experience I assume you're around the same age as me. Do take a look at post 1 and let me know if I can help you in any other way. Cheers!

Tell me about the weather in GuangZhou during summer time. Temperature?
Is it hotter and more humid than KL or Singapore or about the same?

During winter, how cold does it get?

How about air quality? Any haze problems like Malaysia? (only when those inconsiderate Indo start their burning seasons again!)

You can't even send the resume through job portal site, you need an account which required China phone number. Or you can send directly send your email to HR but the chance of getting replied is slim. Better come to China first, and that's what I'm doing.

Guangzhou is hot at this moment. Even at night, maybe for few months. So far air quality is like KL more or less.

Hi guys, I'm so happy to see there are a lot of Malaysians here working in China. I hope I can work there too after I finish my Chinese language studies there(currently applying for chinese government scholarship). China is an amazing country and has a lot to offer.

I'm not that familiar with Malaysian group in Southern China but I think there should be M'sian Group in Guangzhou. You may want to search for their QQ Group or WeChat Group.

I do know Suzhou, Shanghai and Beijing have their own Malaysian groups and chamber of commerce as I had worked in these places.

There is a change of policy since 1st April this year where by all expat will be classified into 3 different categories making it more difficult to obtain a working permit now.

For "genuine expat" I believe it is still easy to obtain a working permit. And yea master chinese language with hsk 5 certificate can get you max 10 marks which simply put you under category B.

Seriously I cannot imagine someone from Malaysia goes to China for a job which pays <RMB 5k each month. Really.

To work in China, I strongly recommend SZ CBD. It's very different from the other Chinese cities. And you get to shop in HK during weekends. Oh yeah!!!

How much pay would be worthwhile to work in China then? biggrin.gif

Other than Shenzhen, would you consider Shanghai or Beijing as these two cities are tier one cities?
