Hidden vacancies

Many vacancies will never be advertised, but filled via personal referrals by family or friends. Non-Chinese nationals, without established networks and family relationships in China, can be excluded from some roles as a result.

If you are planning to make speculative applications to companies, the British Chamber of Commerce in China  website has details of member businesses that are active in the UK and China. If your university has an alumni association, this might offer networking opportunities.
