Work in China Job Site -- NewChina Career

Several years ago, I was surprised to hear from a number of friends at the midpoint of their careers who expressed the desire to work in China. A number of them were, as we say, "on the beach," but the suntan lotion had dried up. A few had significant international experience, some had none. All of them needed to work.

(A handful asked how quickly it would take them to become fluent in Mandarin. Two to three years of intensive study will bring you to the barest of minimums and most likely not even conversational ability. For those who speak Mandarin, there are more opportunities, of course, unless you wish to teach English.)

I applaud the courage to search elsewhere for work -- born of necessity -- but valorous nonetheless. Doron Vermaat, Managing Director of NewChina Career, has asked me to blogroll his site, which is a job search site for China, Now, I have never myself used this website, and I don't know Doron personally, but I've surfed it. For those readers who wish to work in China, here is a site which is, as Doron writes, "100% free for job-seekers."

Readers who've had positive experiences with other China job sites are welcome to write about them in our Comments section directly below this post. (Please don't use this as an opportunity to plug your product -- I will delete comments that do so.)
