Chinese job sites

Being in the process of finding an internship in China I realized is quite hard. If You are studying something like marketing, economics or logistics then You will find more jobs than You can read in Your lifetime. As an IT guy however the options are way smaller. Especially since China has enough IT guys already. So I expanded my search to Chinese job websites. You can switch the language to English on these:

51job.com (english: http://www.51job.com/default-e.php )

zhaopin.com (english: http://english.zhaopin.com/ )

The offers on these sites are for Chinese persons, so they implicitly assume that You can speak Mandarin if You apply. Once I run out of other options I will go for these jobs… with my beginners Chinese. Let’s see what happens.

Another option is the German chamber of commerce:

Landing a job in China often requires that You can speak Chinese. However there are two major dialects, namely Mandarin and Cantonese which are worth learning. For those new to the Chinese language this is a decision they have to make. Check my guide on the question Mandarin or Cantonese to get some input on this matter.
