Q: Struggling to find jobs as a light skinned American with an STEM background.

Hi, what hs your guys experience been with getting jobs as I've contacted folks for potential jobs but haven't been getting luck. I have my local background check, MS degree, and TEFL. My introduction video has me well groomed and speaking normally however... I would say my background in studies is proving an issue and I do not like lying.

I ain't sure if this will help, but I used to say ...:

"Don't stop sending your CVs, not even if you already have an interview invitation!"

 

MS degree is completed online ... That might be the reason 'cause I don't think employer in China can secure legal Working permit by presenting degree completed online.

 

TEFL Course completed online was/is acceptable, but I'm not sure about your MS ...

 

Have a look at the requirements for Z visa in China ... 

 

Good luck!

A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
