Expats in Asia > Working In Asia

The likeliness of a foreigner finding a non teaching job in China?

<< < (3/7) > >>

Axiom:
Well, I'd like to live in beijing mostly in order to get used to the culture I would like to live somewhere 'westernized' till I get used to the culture a bit more.

But yeah I live, eat and Breathe Flash and ActionScript 3 so it would be great if I could get a job doing something I enjoy while being with the woman of my dreams.

I do have a bachelors degree in design... so hopefully that will be enough to get my big western nose/feet in the door somewhere

Thanks again for the link Mikael

We live in Beijing. Some foreigners dont like it here for different reasons, some love it. I belong to the latter. I wouldnt say that Beijing is that very much westernized, sure city center is just like in most metropolitan big cities but i would say Dalian is far more western style. However it is also far more expensive. If you have a Bachelors degree and a small portfolio i am sure you can find work here within the IT and /or dot com business. Do you have a portfolio or some reference work? I might be interested to ask for your help for some of my business projects  8)

After a few months, I am back! Working my butt off to get the money together for a plane ticket and climbing over many obsticles (in the past 4 months I replaced almost every part in my computer trying to figure out why it wasnt working as well). Anyway, with excuses under the table... on to bigger and better things.

I don't have a porfolio set up yet sadly. I do have quite a bit of work to show so if you want to see a selection of some let me know your email so I can send them... since some things are games I am not sure if they can be attachments here.
I just purchased my plane ticket today, I will be leaving the USA on May24th!!! whew, this has been a ROUGH past 365 days!

Great news....welcome to the land of opportunity  :)

Axiom:
Thanks Paul. Like I said.. the past few months have been a straight up climb for me since the place I worked for went belly up before i could save enough money for a plane ticket...  but anyway... wah wah... and boo hoo... we all got problems, so i am sure you dont want me to go into details about mine... Safe to say, i still need a job in China, but compared to what i just went through, that will be like falling off a log during an earthquake!
