4) How long can you work here?
Chinese employer wants a loyal employee.  “Loyal” means, at least, you can work in his company for a pretty long time, say, one year. But, anyway, you may stay in China only months. That doesn’t matter. Just tell him the truth, and promise that you will notify him  a month ahead before you could leave. So, you can see, being able to work there for one year or more diffentiate yourself from other canditates of a job.
 If you had changed your job frequently in your career history, you have to explain why so it is. Fortunately, Chinese employers are always tolerant with the  “frequent job change” history of a foreign job seeker, although they might feel hard to understand that of a local Chinese.

When you are begining to prepare your resume for a potential China job, you have to think what message you want to deliver to Chinese employer through the resume.
1) Where you were educated?

Education makes a man. You have to describe your college/university education history as a point with some technique. If your school is not Harvard or Yale, you should tell its advantages compared with others. A well-organized introduction on your school will improve your image among the potential Chinese employers.

For example, you say the school is an emerging leader in fast food marketing education, and that you have been taught by a professor with great reputations in the fields. Tell some about that. Show your passion on it, althrough the potential Chinese employers know nothing about your school or your professor or his book or something else. (To be continued for this topic.)

If you have not handle the hard language, just use one or two Chinese words as your beginning of the interview. Then, speak easy and simple English to express something about yourself.

 2) Do you like China?
In fact, the interviewer does not care about whether or not you like it. He just wants to hear something about your impressions on the country. Please use simple and easy English to tell what you like and what you dislike. Take it easy.
3) Why do you want this job?
When you are in a western country, you say you need money. That’s ok. But in China, that is not the best answer. Tell the Chinese employer how you like it, and you want it not completely for making a living.
