Unless you speak Chinese, your job search will be limited to a handful of multinationals or expat services. Try to do your homework before you leave on the field in which you want to work, and try to find a connection - no matter how remote - in that field in Shanghai.

If you're unsure of which direction to take, or see Shanghai as an opportunity to start something new, seek out a career coach. The cost runs from US$ 100 - 400 per hour, and some companies will pay for this as part of the cost of relocating.
Executive search firms and online job sites, along with the traditional print media are the most popular way of finding jobs for locals, but in the small expat world, many jobs are found through networking, and this is an avenue that you shouldn't underestimate. Joining business associations, chambers and social groups to attend their mixers is often the most effective way to find a job.
