Don't expect too much. Your Mandarin skills are worth next to nothing. It's a myth that speaking Mandarin is of much importance in the working life in China. China has already quite a number of Mandarin speaker and the demand for Mandarin speaking foreigners (which often have problems reading and writing) is really not that high. It does make your private life much easier though. What they need is any sort of skill other then language that you are good at.

agree, there are so many people who speak great English, the demand for western Mandarin speakers is not high, it may help a little in getting a job but not much at all
4 :
Maybe you can apply a job at your own country's embassy located in China.

I have a Taiwanese ARC which expires on 31 Dec,2008. I have quit my current job and already found a new one. My last working day in my current company is 1 Dec,2008. Does this leave enough time for my new employer to apply for a new work permit or change my ARC before it actually expires on 31 Dec,2008? What are the steps involved?
