Welcome to ChineseForTravel.com

Chinesefortravel.com is primarily a language site which also offers tips on traveling in China. We offer free online survival Chinese lessons as podcasts. On this page however we have links to some great job sites around China. The industry that employs the most foreigners in China at the moment is TEFL(Teaching English as a Foreign Language). However, there are other jobs for skilled professionals, mostly offered by foreign & International companies operating in China. No matter where you get your job in China, always do a background check of your employer before you depart. Make sure above all that your employer is able to handle your visa problems in China. Check out online forums and hear what others are saying about your would-be employer. With these precautionary steps, you will not fall victim to unscrupulous employers and dodgy job agents. While these jobs links we provide can be useful, we cannot give you any guarantees as to who the employers are. Find that out for yourself. Check out the forums, but don't believe everything you read.
