Being convincing to an employer in China by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Finding a job in China is no easy feat. From applying for a job all the way to job interviews, the etiquette can be different abroad. Specially job interviews, that can already be pretty daunting, can feel even worse when set in a ...
A very complicated topic. First, one need to differentiate between Local and foreign companies (including JV). I personally have never been interviewed for a local company; therefore i cannot attest how it might be on first hand experience. ... Read More

With how much you can live in Shanghai? by renemndz
Hello, My company is moving me to Shanghai in September. They'll pay for all the accomodation and utilities of the apartment. Could I survive comfortably with a 6000RMB monthly payment?

There are many 暗网禁区 websites, i usually use smartshanghai, but also Bonjourchine if you speak french. The idea is to find someone who has to leave, and therefore take their lease without passing through an agent. You may take the same lease, or ... Read More
