Coming to Work in China<\/strong><\/h2>\nSo many foreigners come to China to work every year. No wonder why: there are so many job opportunities, and so many ways to make money.<\/p>\n
Foreigners can come here in different ways. Some of them find a job on the internet, negotiate with the employer, get their work visa, and only then come to China. But there are still people who prefer to do \u201cthe field work\u201d. They come with a business or tourist visa, and begin looking for a job \u2018locally\u2019, talking\u00a0to employers face to face, and willing to see the work place with their own eyes to avoid surprises. Besides, there are a lot of students doing their bachelor or master\u2019s degree and searching for\u00a0a future job.\u00a0(Note: Keep in mind, working on a student\/tourist\/business visa is illegal. You can legally stay in China and work only with a work visa, so you will need to change it.)<\/em><\/p>\nIn any of these cases, you might want to use job-search apps to find a job. Let\u2019s have a look at three of the most popular apps.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
#1:\u00a0\u524d\u7a0b\u65e0\u5fe7 (51Job)<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nThe first one and the absolute top of my list is an app called\u00a051Job<\/strong>, or\u00a0\u524d\u7a0b\u65e0\u5fe7\u00a0<\/strong>(Qi\u00e1nch\u00e9ng W\u00fay\u014du<\/em>).<\/p>\n![\"Job-search](\"https:\/\/www.thatsmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Job-apps-in-China-4-300x156.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
This is the best app to find any kind of jobs in China, both part-time and full-time. The interface is plain, simple, and intuitive. It\u2019s the best way to find what you are looking for, even if you who can\u2019t speak Chinese. It has CV templates and forms in English, many job offers are in English, so you have a variety to choose from. Almost every foreigner in China starts looking for a place from this convenient app.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Using 51Job<\/h3>\n
Let\u2019s have a closer look at this app.<\/p>\n
The first thing you have to do is create your own CV.<\/p>\n
Just click on\u00a0\u7b80\u5386<\/strong>\u00a0(Resume), and let\u2019s get started. There are two versions of resume you can create: Chinese or English. You can switch between them at the top right corner of your screen.<\/p>\n![\"Job-search](\"https:\/\/www.thatsmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Job-apps-in-China-6.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019re done, let\u2019s find you a dream job!<\/p>\n
Go to the main page or\u00a0\u9996\u9875<\/strong>, choose your city, and type in the position you\u2019d like to find in the search box. Very intuitive.<\/p>\nThe only uncomfortable thing about this app is that there is no live chat. All you can do is send your CV, and wait for the employer to call you on the number you mentioned in your resume. If you don\u2019t like phone interviews, is can be quite uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
The remaining two apps are available only in Chinese, so it might be more difficult to use them if you don\u2019t speak Chinese. But if you do, you will find them extremely useful.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
#2:\u00a0BOSS\u76f4\u8058<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nThe second job-search app is called\u00a0BOSS\u76f4\u8058<\/strong>\u00a0(boss zh\u00ed p\u00ecn<\/em>).<\/p>\n![\"Job-search](\"https:\/\/www.thatsmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Job-apps-in-China-3-300x159.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
This app is the top choice for the locals. In China, you\u2019ll see the ads for it\u00a0everywhere.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Using BOSS\u76f4\u8058<\/h3>\n
The interface is quite plain, all you have to do is register.<\/p>\n
Go to\u00a0\u6211\u7684<\/strong>\u00a0(My) and create your CV in\u00a0\u6211\u7684\u5fae\u7b80\u5386<\/strong>.<\/p>\nOnce you are done, go to the main page and start looking for positions.<\/p>\n
![\"Job-search](\"https:\/\/www.thatsmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Job-apps-in-China-5.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The main advantage of this app, in contrast with the previous one, is that you can communicate with your potential employer within the app: there\u2019s a built-in live chat. Once you send you CV for the position you like, the app will take you to a dialog window with the HR-manager who posted it.<\/p>\n
You can also get to your chat inbox by clicking\u00a0\u6d88\u606f<\/strong>\u00a0at the bottom of the screen. There you can see all your conversations.<\/p>\nThe app works the other way, too! If you post a resume and a certain employer finds it suitable, they might contact you via the same live chat. Pretty convenient, huh?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
#3:\u00a0\u8d76\u96c6\u7f51<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nHere comes the last job-search app, which is called\u00a0\u8d76\u96c6\u7f51<\/strong>\u00a0(G\u01cenj\u00ed W\u01ceng<\/em>).<\/p>\n![\"Job-search](\"https:\/\/www.thatsmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Job-apps-in-China-1-300x162.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
it\u2019s a multipurpose app, created no only to help people find jobs, but also to find a place to live or stay short-term.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Using \u8d76\u96c6\u7f51<\/h3>\n
On the main page, you can choose what you are looking for: a full-time position, a part-time one, a place to rent, or a place to buy. This is the app\u2019s greatest advantage\u2026 and disadvantage. You can do two things at the same time, but because of this multi-functionality, the number of positions in the app is fewer than in the previous professional, field-specific apps.<\/p>\n
