Dear Jian Shou Wang,

Firstly thanks for your blog. A lot of good information.
I worked and enjoyed China for about 10 months recently. I live in USA and would like a friend to come visit me.
It seems Visa process in Shanghai even by your own experience is difficult. I am still not sure about fiends
experience or visa applicastion issue but sounds like not easy to get visitor visa from china to visit USA.

Do you have any recommendation for us?

Many Thanks
Ross

1 Internship is Best Way for Good Job

If you are looking for Internships with Multinationals, once place to start is with Chambers of Commerce.
The Chambers of Commerce have strong connections with the major companies in Shanghai and China and through them there are a number of routes in attaining internships.
1: Attending events (Networking can be a nightmare, but many HR managers and senior management attend these events). Check out www.shanghaiinn.com for all networking in the city.
2: Directory searching: You can search most Chambers' directories to find out the companies that are operating in Shanghai and China and contact them directly.
3: Websites: You can post your resume or apply directly for jobs on Chambers' websites, like Jobs Online at http://jobs.amcham-shanghai.org or the German Chamber who have a special intern section.
The American Chamber of Commerce is the largest AmCham in Asia, with 1400 companies as members and is one top place to start. In addition to AmCham there are a number of other Chambers such as the British Chamber, Swiss Cham, French Chamber, Irish Business Forum, Canadian China Business Council and many more. You can find a list of these Chambers in any local expat magazine.
Internships are a great way to start, so keep an eye on Chambers as well as community websites like Shanghai Expat, Asia Expat etc. Guanxi is also helpful!!
