if you do not specify better than that you can find nothing
give the people in the forum more infos
like what you can do with your diplomas?
what experience you have how old are you
where are you living and where you want to work what industry
how much do you expect to make

so many things you should let us know

unless you have something to bring the company you most likely will end up with a local job at a local salary if you can even find a job with what you just put on your post you need more details for sure

good luck in your search anyway

You can always teach English for 5,000RMB/month. Maybe Business English will increase that a bit.

On Average full-time English teachers make 8-15,000 RMB/month in SH. Hourly wage is around 150 RMB per hour. If you work part-time and put in the hours you could make 20,000+ especially if you hook up some Business English classes which can pay 180-200 RMB + per hour. You can earn 25,000+ RMB in the international schools but I understand you need to be a qualified teacher (not just ESL) with at least two years experience.

If you look for a job locally and have little or no experience it is very difficult to secure a position that is better paid than English teaching. Believe me I've been there! Best to work for a company back home and look to get transferred. You can check the jobs on this site and http://shanghai.asiaxpat.com/careers/. If you have just graduated and/or only have a few years experience and are prepared to accept a job with a small/medium sized company for around 10,000 RMB per month at best then go for it. But if your looking for a position with a Fortune 500 company it seems that the vast majority do not recruit foreigners actually in China (unless of course you have a lot of experience or some unique skills). You may be able to find something with a small trading company, real estate agency, etc
