Make the overseas position and employing entity explicit

For a Chinese applicant, overseas recruitment may involve a local company abroad or an assignment through a business based in China. Establish who employs you, where duties are performed and which reporting line applies; these details determine how to present your experience and what questions to raise during selection.

Prepare documents that a foreign recruiter can interpret

Use a clear international CV and explain qualifications, project responsibilities and working languages without assuming the reader knows your former employers. Confirm any requested translations or document checks through the relevant official channel, and keep access to consular information when organising the move and evaluating an unfamiliar recruitment proposal.
