Hello everyone Im asking for a friend, if a fresh grad has these two offers line up for them, which would you recommend?

a) 2.5 years Management Prog. @ Garment manufacturing in China (3rd tier city) - RM10k/month (housing and all meals provided) - graduate to be asst. Manager of the production facility. Parent company is listed in HKEX if that matters.

b) 1 year Sales Management Prog. @ US Tech Company (Networking) in Singapore - RM12k/month (RM1.5k/monthly allowance) +++ commissions too if hit annual KPI. However have to return home to KL one year for a bond.

Fresh grad so we felt like it is an important stepping stone for him. He however does have interest in both industries.He is personally into textiles/fashion, but is also a geeky one and feels that technology/5G is really the future. Thanks in advance.

Hi friend. No worries. You can use WeChat. It can translate all the Chinese word into English. You can scan and it can translate automatic for you. It can translate mandarin voice/ sound into English as well. In China WeChat is the most important apps. Regard

Hi Friend, My opinion take the option B. ( Not because it is more money) If you plan to work in China, they need at least 2 years work experience before they give you working Visa. The authority is very strict over there. They would require a reference from the previous company ( to proved you have 2 years working experiences). Working in China is good, however bear in mind the process to get working Visa is a long process and various steps. You can scroll up and read the information about the process of getting China working Visa. I wish you good luck. Regard

Hi friend.
My personal advice would be ,
You should find the the relevant person/ job agency depending on the job that you are looking
As you know, China having 1.4 billion people, they would require only certain jobs that are very specialized, which basically out of bound for the local people.
Examples: Teaching English, IT related jobs, Engineering, English Editor.
So for the first question, Get yourself to be sure what the job you looking for , then do find the correct person / guanxi (connection)
Do look for internet too, but remember the agent only collect commissions from the companies and not from you.
If they request any payment in advance, please turn them down !!! Its a big snake ( Scam)

Second questions,
Sales person is a suitable job for foreigners , but do take note,
They would like you to work for their company that is based in foreign countries.
Examples: If you able to speak Malay, they would like you work in Malaysia, so you can able to communicate and market their product locally here.
If you can speak English, they would like you to work in other countries that uses English as the medium
I met a Malaysian in China who work for a Chinese company in China but posted to South Africa
* For Chinese speaking consumer, they would use their own locals, as it is more economical.
So for the second questions, prepare yourselves to take new adventures in a new land


Third questions,
This forum does not functions as job search engine sweat.gif

Do take note, the process of the getting China work Visa is a long process.

1 Need to notarized all documents, ( There are few different documents, scroll up and read, earlier post)
2 Need for Police Clearance Certificate ( In Malaysia it would take between 3 weeks to 4 weeks)
3 Need medical check up
4 Submitting scan copy of 1, 2 and 3 , will enable you to get a Work Notification letter of foreigner's work permit (Depends on your HR efficiency, 2 weeks to 4 weeks)
5 After that you submit Work Notification letter to get to apply Z visa in your home country (Depend on yourself, 1 week to 2 weeks)
6 With Z Visa enter China, and apply for Work Permit and Residence Permit ( Depends on your HR efficiency, 2 weeks to 3 weeks)

Finally notarizing all the documents and doing all this stuffs above require some fees.
Chinese Embassy charges USD 40 per documents.

Me my wife and child had around 15 to documents, last time to notarized as some certificates are also in English and Chinese Version ( Translated)

I hope my answer for your questions is sufficient.
Hope you make a good choice. Take care

working in china is good. its a modern city and more advanced than Singapore in some context.

The currency is good, getting stronger but the air can be catastrophic depending on where you stay.

Save more money
