Jobs in Beijing, China

Beijing’s economy has more than tripled in size over the course of the last decade, and continues to grow at an outstanding rate. It is also one of the wealthiest administrative units in the country, and has more Fortune 500 company headquarters than any other city in the world. Consequently, many economists believe that China, as a nation, will become the most powerful economy in the world within the next few years.

As you might imagine, international business is one of the most promising fields for jobs in Beijing. Jobs in marketing and advertising, communications, and accounting have the potential to pay big in Beijing, and local companies are always looking to attract English speaking foreign employees. That being said, you do not necessarily need to speak Mandarin to be considered for jobs in Beijing; however, being adept in the local language will open up a completely different realm of professional opportunities.

If you are looking for a temporary job in Beijing, then teaching English is a very popular option for foreign workers as well. You can find positions through a wide variety of work abroad or teaching placement programs, which typically allow you to live and teach in Beijing for up to two years with the option to extend your stay. Becoming an au pair and working in the tourism or hospitality industries are also popular options for jobs in Beijing too.

Lopair arranged a hanfu photoshoot for us, and it was absolutely wonderful. The agent they sent made everything run smoothly. Her translation support was invaluable and helped us feel comfortable and understood throughout the process. The makeup artist, photographer, and other staff were professional, kind, and incredibly considerate of our time. Every detail was handled with care, and we had so much fun dressing up in traditional attire and enjoying the beautiful setting. It was a seamless, culturally rich experience that we’ll never forget, etched in memory and worthy of recommendation.
