Category A talent with a commitment system without crime

A类人才，无犯罪实行承诺制

The Shanghai region has implemented a "Notice + Promise" system for foreign scientific and technological talents who do not meet the criteria for foreign top talents (Category A) and who are employed by creditworthy employers. The employer and the foreigner shall ensure the authenticity of the content of the undertaking.

上海地区针对信用良好的用人单位所聘请的达不到外国高端人才（A类）标准的外国科技人才实行无犯罪记录“告知+承诺”制，即外国科技人才可直接在《外国人来华工作许可申请表》上签名并承诺“本人在本国及境外无犯罪记录”，无需额外提交无犯罪记录及认证材料，用人单位和外国人应确保提交承诺内容的真实性。

For foreign nationals who are in China and are unable to leave China to obtain a certificate of innocence, this initiative is quite convenient.

针对在境内，无法出境办理无犯罪证明的外籍人才，此项举措是相当便利。

Excellent Masters graduate, no need for 2 years of work experience
优秀硕士毕业生，无需2年工作经验

In January 2017, the Chinese government introduced new laws to make it easier for specific groups of people to find professional jobs in other sectors in China.

2017年1月，中国政府出台了新法律，使特定人群更容易在中国其他行业寻找专业性的工作。

The following official note from the government: "In order to implement the Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Institutional Mechanism for Talent Development (No. Zhong Fa [2016] 9), it is proposed to allow some outstanding foreign university graduates without work experience (scope of personnel: including foreign students who have obtained a master's degree or above in universities in China and graduated within one year, as well as foreign graduates who have obtained a master's degree or above in renowned universities outside China and graduated within one year) to work in China. (including foreign students who have obtained a master's degree or above and have graduated within one year) to work in China.

以下来自政府的官方说明：“为贯彻落实《关于深化人才发展体制机制改革的意见》（中发〔2016〕9号），拟允许部分无工作经历的优秀外籍高校毕业生（人员范围：包括在中国境内高校取得硕士及以上学位且毕业一年以内的外国留学生，以及在境外知名高校取得硕士及以上学位且毕业一年以内的外籍毕业生）在华就业。

This means that any recent graduate from a Chinese university studying a master's degree programme is eligible to seek employment in the Chinese job market. This policy also extends to universities outside of China. The higher the world ranking of the university, the higher the chance of success in visa applications.

这意味着任何从中国的高校攻读硕士学位课程的应届毕业生都有资格在中国就业市场寻找工作。此外这项政策也延伸到境外高校。世界排名越靠前的大学，签证申请成功几率越高。

It is also important to note that this policy is important for meeting the diploma requirement while keeping in mind the following two points.

同时要说明的是，这项政策对于满足文凭要求的同时，还需注意以下两点：

01. Applicants need to apply for a job within one year of graduation

01. 申请者需要在毕业一年以内申请工作

02. the work must be relevant to the profession

02. 工作必须和专业相关

For example, if someone has a master's degree in January 2019, he needs to find a suitable job by January 2020 and, furthermore, it must be in a position related to his studies.

举个例子，如果某人在2019年1月获得了硕士学位，他需要在2020年1月之前找到合适的工作，而且，必须是他所学专业相关的职位。
