I got Malay friend working in China, but not sure where the location. Seem fine, I guess.
But to tell the truth, living outside Malaysia you will face a lot of bittersweet journey.

Hello. the method I got my first job in China is through a relative, so there is no offer required.
Interview was conducted in KL, and then when confirm accepted, they sent me to China to commence work immediately.

Haha mesti bro.
Even lowyat forum is throttled here. Takes super long to load without VPN.
Basically the more famous apps/sites that are banned include Google, Gmail, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, WordPress, Blogspot, etc.

I thought so too.
For Guangzhou, even engineers here get like RMB10-15K only.
RMB30k is really on another level.
Mine personally just hit one year and gonna increase to 7K - considering current exchange rates, about RM4.2k not so bad la.
Plus living expense is more or less like KL.

Sorry for the late reply. Been busy lately.
I can't speak for the majority of Malaysian companies cuz honestly I don't see many around.
The most common Malaysian companies I know of are in the F&B industry. But then again Malaysian food not very well accepted here so...

I went to Guangzhou last month to find job, they said they don't hire foreigners.

Try downloading the app called 58 or Zhilian. It's like JobStreet except for China.
Also, you need to hunt at the right place. Before you begin, may I ask if you:
- Speak/Read Chinese/Cantonese?
- Have a Bachelor's Degree (any field)
If you have the above, minimum salary you can get if you're a fresh grad would be RMB3,000. Nowadays no one gets 2K anymore. That of course depends on field as well. But any job would net you 3K these days. If you need help let me know.

In that case, you can try applying for jobs at international hotels. Those that require English. Cuz that will be your advantage. There's still not many people here in Guangzhou that can speak English fluently so that will be your strength.
If you really want to work here you can try your luck. Cheers!

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

Now if 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.

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