I want to move to China but would also like to continue my career in
accounting / finance.   I am a licensed certified public account with
3 years of public accounting experience in the United States.  I am a
United States Citizen.  I have never visited China.  I do not speak
mandarin.

Where should I look for job opportunities in China where I can
continue a career in accounting / finance?

1. I do not know any sites could help you to seek accounting job. if
you want to teach language in China, there are hundreds of websites
for HR. Anyway, you could try to look for the companies' website. Some
big companies have english version.

2. Try to make friends with Chinese. and let them know you. human
relation is important in China. Sometimes they could help you.

3. Learn Chinese by yourself if you want to work in China. it is
important. English is not popular in China.

A, You would send your curriculum vitae to some prominent job
placement website of China (such as 51job.com), many Chinese
enterprises need financial accounting personnel with good English .

B, You may wish to adopt Chinese sns website (for example linkist.com)
get to know some Chinese entrepreneurs, because of their connections
is very broad, IF you make friends with them, they will sure to help
you on the work.

 C, Concact with famous Chinese blogger, such as keso
(http://blog.donews.com/keso).his many readers is it man, his blog
will definitely help you find satisfactory work.

D, if you need any help (for example, Translation the Chinese
websites, etc.), Please contact my msn:pch@live.com  I am very happy
to become your friend :)

China is a very easy place to get a job- as long as you speak English natively.

My recommendation? Through chance to the wind and get a one way ticket
and a couple bucks to pay for a hotel. Ask college students (a lot of
them speak English- not perfectly, but at an amazing level) if they
know of any English teaching jobs. Trust me, you'll find one.

I stayed in Beijing for 6 weeks on a study abroad trip and recieved no
less than 3 different job offers, with an apartment included, as well
as taxi fare to and from work every day.

Another place where you might have luck finding a job teaching English
is in any sort of large market (like Hong Qiao in Beijing). People
will occasionally ask you to help them learn English and would even
pay you. Being able to speak English gives people a big advantage over
non-English speakers in China because they can communicate with most
foreigners- who have money.

The reason why I recommend getting an English teaching job is because
it is so easy to find, and there are often no pre-requisites at all.
You don't need to speak Chinese because people often want to learn in
a full-immersion situation- therefore requiring you to speak English
constantly in the classroom.

Good luck!
