the exercise of outstanding options as of November&nbsp;6, 2009 multiplied by the exercise price of
$3.955 per common share, which is equal to an aggregate offering price of $4,516,863.12 and

the low price of $16.20 per Registrant&#146;s ADS, representing a low price of $8.10 per common
share, on November&nbsp;6, 2009, as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, which is equal to

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company&#146;s articles of association may
provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may

indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Article&nbsp;163 of the
Registrant&#146;s amended and restated articles of association provides that the Registrant may
indemnify its directors and officers acting in relation to any of its affairs against any liability
incurred by them by reason of any act done or omitted in the execution of their duty in their
capacities as such, except if they acted in a willfully or grossly negligent manner.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and

fullest extent permitted by Cayman Islands law, its articles of association and other applicable
law, from and against all expenses and liabilities arising from any proceeding to which the
indemnitee is or was a party, except expenses and liabilities, if any, incurred or sustained by or
through the indemnitee&#146;s own willful act or gross neglect.

expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant

officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by

such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and

These common shares are subject to options, both outstanding and issuable for future awards,
under the 51job, Inc. 2009 Share Option Plan (the "Plan"). Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement also
covers an indeterminate number of additional common shares which may be offered and issued to
prevent dilution from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions as provided in the
Plan.
(2)
These common shares may be represented by the Registrant's American Depositary Shares (the
"ADSs"), each of which represents two common shares. The ADSs evidenced by American Depositary
Receipts issuable upon deposit of the common shares registered hereby have been registered
under a separate registration statement on Form F-6 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") on July 9, 2004 (File No. 333-117254).
(3)
Pursuant to Rule 457(h)(1) and Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act, the proposed maximum
aggregate offering price is calculated based on the sum of (i) 1,142,064 common shares issuable upon
the exercise of outstanding options as of November 6, 2009 multiplied by the exercise price of
$3.955 per common share, which is equal to an aggregate offering price of $4,516,863.12 and
(ii) the remaining 3,857,936 common shares subject to options available for future awards
under the Plan multiplied by the average price per common share calculated based on the high
price of $16.30 per Registrant's ADS, representing a high price of $8.15 per common share, and
the low price of $16.20 per Registrant's ADS, representing a low price of $8.10 per common
share, on November 6, 2009, as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, which is equal to
an aggregate offering price of approximately $31,345,730. The proposed maximum offering price
per share and the registration fee are calculated based on the proposed maximum aggregate
offering price as calculated above.

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The following documents filed with the Commission by 51job, Inc. (the "Registrant") are
incorporated herein by reference:
(a)
The Registrant's annual report on Form 20-F filed with the Commission on April 29,
2009, which includes audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008;
and
(b)
The description of the Registrant's common shares and ADSs contained in its
registration statement on Form 8-A (File No. 000-50841) filed with the Commission on July
12, 2004 pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), which incorporates by reference the description of the Registrant's
common shares set forth under "Description of Share Capital;" and the description of the
Registrant's ADSs set forth under "Description of American Depositary Shares," each in the
Registrant's prospectus constituting Part I of the Registrant's registration statement on
Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-117194), originally filed with the Commission on July
7, 2004, which prospectus was filed with the Commission on September 29, 2004 pursuant to
Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act.
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or

all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining

part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained herein or in a
document, all or a portion of which is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein, shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to
the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also
is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any
such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or amended, to
constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's articles of association may
provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may
be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide
indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Article 163 of the
Registrant's amended and restated articles of association provides that the Registrant may
indemnify its directors and officers acting in relation to any of its affairs against any liability
incurred by them by reason of any act done or omitted in the execution of their duty in their
capacities as such, except if they acted in a willfully or grossly negligent manner.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and
senior officers, substantially in the form filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Registrant's registration
statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-117194), originally filed with the Commission on
July 7, 2004. Under these agreements, the Registrant indemnifies the directors and officers to the
fullest extent permitted by Cayman Islands law, its articles of association and other applicable
law, from and against all expenses and liabilities arising from any proceeding to which the
indemnitee is or was a party, except expenses and liabilities, if any, incurred or sustained by or
through the indemnitee's own willful act or gross neglect.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement;
and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that
is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
