Foreign Job Seekers Move to Shanghai Dear Posters, I am an asian-amaerican, and with respect to John's comments I've felt this discrimination too. I've been in SH for just over three years now, and finally found that high paying, high profile job ( equivalent to 120k USD gross per year). Yes, I dreaded sending out CV's and talking to people on the phone, only for them to be ' disappointed' when I came in face to face. It was quite discouraging for a while, and I even gave up looking for a job, and just felt like settling in my cushy/no pressure teaching gig. I believe that talent + perseverence = luck (in most cases), and its funny that the company that finally hired me was managed by a fellow yankee. :-) Good luck to those in the same situation, and don't give up. |
