i thought this title had " hand " in the title.  Think if you are not Chinese it would be difficult to get this job unless you knew someone who worked in a company.

If 'material handling' is a very specialised field which takes training and qualifications - yes.

 

If not, not a hope! There are 1.6BILLION people in China - many of them have their own problems getting a job, and so are forced to move cities (or provinces) to provide for their families back home.

 

For you to work in China, you need a sponsor, and you need to get a work visa... why would an employer bother with all that, when they can just get a local to do the job??? So much easier!

As others have said, without either highly specialized skills or awesome Chinese language skills, or both, getting a good job here is next to impossible.

it's very easy if you can communicate with Chinese colleagues.

If You are engineer (qualified, certified etc.) and real professional in mentioned "material handling" - find Your homeland factory that makes production in China, and ask them to hire You and send to China as QC and production manager.

Then You will work in China on business visa (because You will not work for Chinese company.

 

Otherwise - You have to have really special skills and good knowledge of Chinese language to find good job in China - for Chinese company.

 

There is also question of "what is "GOOD" job for You?
High salary? Questionable... Maybe for CEOs, high level management and rare specialists.

 

If You "material handling" skills are programming and operating CNC or something like this... sorry, but China have already enough own engineers.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
