Message from Jeremy: To all Tech IT Easy readers, who could obviously not necessarily remember the initial announcement, I have invited blogger Lucien to write about Web 2.0, China, and many other things that happen to interest him at the moment. Lucien, they’re all yours!

Some friends of me asked about how to find a IT job in Shanghai. I gave them the following suggestions :
Most foreigners in shanghai are finding jobs in the following websites:
1) http://www.51job.com
2) http://www.zhaopin.com
3) http://www.chinahr.com
They are designed mainly for chinese people. The postings and the interface are in chinese. Even when you search on with their english search engin, the majority of the results are in Chinese.

Headhunters focus more on executives and managers position.
if you have friends working in shanghai for big companies, such as ibm, Microsoft, etc.. they will bring you information on open positions from time to time. this is an important channel, the networking count more in China ;-)

  1. Is speaking Chineses a key-requirement to work in China? I mean, I know it’s important, but in some countries you can get away with English quite easily.

  2. Hello Vincent,

    In all most big cities speaking Chinese is required in the professional envirement. Except Shanghai where a lot of people speak very well English. That’s why most big companies establish their office there.
