We have gotten a lot of concerns about making the move to China and discovering part-time jobs . This is a topic we talk a lot about here on Go into China. This was an important aspect for people beginning their entrepreneurial journey in China. The truth is the cost points here are significantly lower than in the U.S. and working part-time task can provide you the freedom of time to construct your own company.
How Can I get a part time job in China
We wish to make it clear that we have no interest in business and managerial jobs in China. That’s not our interest and ideally, it’s not yours.
Our focus will be tasks that can cover your basic expenses, rent, utilities, food, and enjoyment. While at the same time giving you the flexibility and time to pursue your own ventures.
If your goal is to end up being an entrepreneur then there are 2 keys to discovering excellent part-time JOBS (Just Over Broke Situations).
1.) Easy or helpful
sourcing your OWN items.
2.) Simply enough
It should offer simply enough. This is essential. Preferably the best job is one that supplies simply enough earnings to cover your costs and needs the least amount of time. Why? Because time, your most valuable resource is what you will use to construct your own organization. The more of it you have, the better.
CAN YOU FIND A PART TIME JOB IN CHINA? YES.
There are various tasks that immigrants can have here in China. The difference between the majority of them is part-time and full-time. And no NOT everybody is teaching English. If you definitely do not want to teach English there are numerous other opportunities you can pursue. Some of our friends are hotel assistants, quality control supervisors, marketing interns, foreign news anchors, journalists, and bar managers/bartenders.
If I was going to do it all over again I would teach English. There are numerous factors for this. Off, you can work as much or as little as YOU want. Second, the hourly pay is great, even by U.S. requirements and third, it’s simple. Meaning it’s not difficult and takes little to zero of your time off the clock.
HOW MUCH CAN I MAKE?
If cash is the most important thing to you then we aren’t speaking about the exact same kind of jobs. We aren’t looking for professions with incomes. You can find tasks that will enable you to live conveniently.
The very first mentor job I had my hours where 8:30 -11:30 M-F. I was paid 8000RMB/month and at the current currency exchange rate that has to do with$ 1,264.
This quantity easily covered rent, utilities, food and ENJOYABLE. Don’t believe me? Well we will be doing a post on costs too. This job was at a kindergarten= EASY! And it left me plenty of time, every afternoon and the weekends to construct my business.
( Sidenote: This all comes from my experience in Guangzhou. I am not speaking about the various circumstances all over China as I don’t have experience in those places.).
The last teaching task I had was personal tutoring. This is the way to go if your ready to teach English. There a countless private tutoring centers all over the place.
Example class: 2 students/1 hour 180-200RMB/ hour ($ 30hour).
I used to do this just on the weekends. About ten hours and that worked out to about the exact same 8000RMB/month.
Again, this is by no means how it works everywhere, this is simply one example from my personal experience.
