A few years ago my roommate at the time was in the exact same situation as yours and ended up working for a big Sichuan law firm called Tahota. She ended up being kind of a white monkey private secretary for the boss and her work wasn’t really of any significance since she couldn’t speak any Chinese. Also they promised her a visa which she didn’t end up getting. She basically spent half a year translating random documents with Google Translate while making sure she was on every company picture.

Working for a law firm in China where you can’t really accomplish/learn much due to the language barrier might still look good on your resume if it’s for a short term, but be wary of what you’re getting into. This might not be a good long term plan. Don’t expect any responsibility, nor to be of any real value for them other than being a white face, unless maybe they do actual work in English.

If you want I could probably get some contacts for you in Tahota. I’m sure my friend still has all the details.
