Tianjin Television's English-language Business Traveler program is looking for a smart, funny, and talented female co-host.  Foreigners are preferred for the position (because the show is in English), but exceptional Chinese candidates will also be considered.

As regular readers of this blog will know, I've been working for over six months as a host with Tianjin Television's Business Traveler program.  The show is mostly shot in Tianjin and Beijing, and is loosely patterned on CNN's show of the same name.

I have had two female co-hosts in my short tenure at the station, and the second one has just left to study in the United States.  So Tianjin TV is putting out a call for all interested females.  Foreign is preferred, by exceptional Chinese hosts will also be considered.  The job involves:

  • Hosting a weekly TV program, minimum 2 episodes per month
  • Being in Tianjin for shooting and voiceover responsibilities
  • Editing script
  • Able to travel
  • Good on-air presence
  • Excellent English
  • Team player

Salary is on a per-episode basis, and is negotiable based on experience.

You can send your resumes to me at cam@zhongnanhaiblog.com and I will forward them on to the necessary contacts at Tianjin Television.
