*RED COLLARS*

Looking to land in China?
You're not the only one.  Finding solid internship opportunities in 
China is a serious challenge, especially when you don't want to teach 
English or work meaningless jobs.  It's very difficult to find reliable 
job listings just by searching from the US, and even more difficult to 
get your resume into the hands of someone who can hire you.
We can help.
We've tracked down tons of opportunities and hand-picked dozens of 
outstanding opportunities in Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, and Taipei.  
We have personal connections to management at most of these companies.  
And there are no English-teaching jobs - only serious opportunities for 
serious candidates like yourself.
Come check us out at www.redcollars.com - it's free to sign up for a 
membership.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
The Red Collars Team
