brilliant. I hate that everything is more or less predictable in Singapore; or at least, if you don’t follow the mapped out path, you’ll be considered unsuccessful. I was interning in Shanghai last year and I would say that the Singaporean fresh grad wouldn’t quite have a competitive edge there… because it’s already filled with foreigners (many Caucasians even speak mandarin) and the PRCs are more or less bilingual. But having said that, I’m sure there are still cities that will have more opportunities for fresh Singaporean grads… do you have any suggestions?

Hey Daniel,

There are basically 2 ways you can go about this:
1. seek employment in China. Try sites like http://www.newchinacareer.com, but you might not get the expat package if you seek one
2. get employed and posted by a company in Singapore. go for the ones who have specific branches/interest in China, like IE Singapore, banks, Chinese exports, English schools, Raffles La Salle, etc

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Junde

Hi,

Im a fresh grad from RMIT with a Bachelor in Business Marketing. How can i apply for a job in China of the related field? Are accomodations usually provided? Im really seeking to break off from the boring routine in Singapore. Please advise.

@cara, er.. I think you can try calling and talking to them. They should be able to give you accomodation and promise you a work permit. And you should make at the very least RMB8000-10000 a month teaching English.
