Fair shot at new opportunities

Expats looking to explore new pastures can catch up with employers face to face this weekend when China's only job fair for foreigners arrives in the capital.

The aptly titled 13th Job Fair for Foreigners is making its Beijing stop this Saturday, bringing together jobseekers with more than 70 companies looking to fill hundreds of vacancies.

Sponsored by the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs, the touring fair is expected to draw more than 1,500 of Beijing's estimated 200,000-strong expat population, said Christina Yang, director of projects for the administration.
