I want to work in Hong Kong?
Hello, I want to work in Hong Kong in the near future. I am a HK citizen but living in Canada. Is that possible or do I have to perform some special routine?? Can I just go back and find a place, then look for a job. How does it work?? I find that the job market is very competitive.

If you are a citizen there... there is no special procedure... just find a place and find a job

I heard it is beautiful, go for it!!!!!

go ahead ! who is stopping you ?
4 :
If you are a citizen, you are ahead of me in this category especially if you have a strong background in finance, business, administration, trade, etc. Finding a place is tricky, and the job market is indeed very competitive although there is no shortage of well paid job if you are qualified. Check the job section in the South China Daily, it's thicker than the job sections of all Canadian newspaper put together.

I live and work in hong kong ,Its very nice here and if you want to come to stay you need to think about 2 important things .the income and the type of the work . hong kong is not like before anymore..
6 :
If you have a HK permanent ID card, you just need to go back and look for a job. It is competitive but currently, prospects are good, particularly if you are in finance/accounting or IT

Can I work in Hong Kong only speaking Mandarin, not Cantonese
Can I work in Hong Kong only speaking Mandarin, not Cantonese?
Hong Kong is my all time favorite place. I would LOVE to work there. I'm a White American, currently studying International Relations. I used to live in Taiwan, so I can speak Mandarin very well, almost fluently. I'd love to work in Hong Kong doing... well... something. However, do you think I would need to speak Cantonese? Or, are there a lot of Chinese/Taiwanese companies over there that I could work with?

Actually, how well you speak a Chinese dialect isn't an issue. The only way that someone who isn't a citizen or permanent resident can get a job in Hong Kong is if they can offer a job skill that isn't available in the general population. And that job skill is almost always being a native-English speaker. You also would have to be offered a job before actually moving to Hong Kong. Getting a job isn't as easy as moving there and dropping off résumés, unfortunately.
2 :
You won't die even if you don't speak Cantonese in Hong Kong, but this brings you lots of inconvenience. There're mainland companies which will bring you opportunities but in HK, most people are not really that good at Mandarin. They only know some basic conversations. It feels much more comfortable if you can talk with them in Cantonese. Most of them can speak more English than Mandarin. LOL!!! Of course, as an American, speaking fluent Mandarin already brings you advantages, so try to contact some companies you want!!! Good luck!!!

Most laptop p/s have autoswitching to 220volt, be sure to check all other items. Usaully a voltage range is printed on the plug. Most of asia uses the 3 square prong style.

Get a power converter they use a different plug in get the adapter for it and they probably use 220v so go to office max or something and pick it up
3 :
No, you have to fly all the way to USA just to curl your hair
4 :
Hong Kong has different voltage and power plug configurations than America. You will need an adapter plug and an electric current converter.
5 :
HK uses different voltage and has different type outlets than the USA. Note that appliances like curling irons typically don't work well on another voltage, even if you use a voltage converter. Better is to just buy a curling iron locally. An alternative is to buy a dual-voltage curling iron before leaving home. You still need a plug adapter, but you may need one anyway if you are taking other electrical items that work on any electricty - such as a laptop. http://shopping.yahoo.com/search?p=dual%20voltage%20curling%20iron http://www.adaptelec.com/index.php?main_page=document_general_info&products_id=236

Hi There, The voltage here in Hong Kong is 220V, and we have different plugs as well. If your curling Iron says it is dual voltage, you can use it here in Hong Kong as well. To be completely honest though, Hong Kong is a technology haven, and it might make more sense to pick a curling iron here as well. And things are quite cheap here as well. There are a lot of stores where you can get one. Fortress: http://iluv.hk/shopping/electronics/62-fortress Broadway: http://iluv.hk/shopping/electronics/61-broadway You can find these stores in almost every single street corner here. Where will you be staying? which area? Hope this helps Ciao

You will need to buy an adaptor/converter - spend a little more & get a good quality universal one. Available anywhere travel-related goods are sold, major department stores and good electrical retailers.
2 :
They have better quality tv's and ditigal signles so that they get better pictures and graphics on there programs, than we do in the united states. We have the on of the poorest quality reception in the world
3 :
Hong Kong is on 220v so you will need a step up - step down converter. The biggest problem is that Hong Kong is on the PAL system and the US is NTSC and this will probably make your TV unusable in Hong Kong.
4 :
Most electrical appliances, including tv's, are not operable in foreign countries without some adaptation. You will save money by selling the tv you now have and purchasing another in Hong Kong.
5 :
when you factor in the shipping, the cost of a good quality voltage converter, and the fact that it might still not work properly due to the different systems, you better get a new one in HK.

You may need to buy a new one in HK

It should work ok, most TV's can display NTSC and PAL format. Only problem is that the voltage here is 240V 50Hz, and in the States its 110V 60Hz so you will need a step-up converter.

I recently graduated from a US university with a finance degree. I have had a tough time getting jobs or interviews here in the USA because 90% of the openings automatically won't consider anyone without a citizenship or a green card. I lived in China for some years and was wondering what the visa rules are there. Is it the same situation there for foreigners? Thanks!

Now, your industry may involve you jumping on the boat to China right there so learn the language and have a great time. It's the most beautiful city at night I have ever been to. Can't say enough about the place.

You wont, but you would. You never know, but if you cant speak chinese and does not have first hand point of view on market, what can you do? What make you thing you can win in the competition? What can you do better than any others who can speak chinese?? Learn the chinese from Hong Kong movies and your parents from today. Learn to write when you are over sea in chinese city. About living in Hong Kong, you wont have trouble. Because every sign in public has english as well as chinese. If you want to live in China, that will be a bit more difficult as the public provide little language help, plus will be harder for you to get a job due to language barrier. I am a chinese from Hong Kong, information shall be reliable.

You might face difficulty if you do not speak their language. I heard from friends ppl who know a few languages can find job pretty easily, and for the jobs, i mean the decent jobs. But i also have met some foreigners who speak fluent cantonese. I suppose you can start learning the languages through watching their series. I learned that way and now i have no problem communicating in simple cantonese.
5 :
If you obtain enough of the proved of your fashions knowledge's, and working experienced, that may have a chance. There so many classifieds and informations of working in HK on the net and papers, Side of note of speaking language, if you insisted, you will find yourself you want to learn well about Cantonese and Mandarin hard. Good Luck!

What can you do better than any others who can speak chinese?? Learn the chinese from Hong Kong movies and your parents from today. Learn to write when you are over sea in chinese city. About living in Hong Kong, you wont have trouble. Because every sign in public has english as well as chinese. If you want to live in China, that will be a bit more difficult as the public provide little language help, plus will be harder for you to get a job due to language barrier. I am a chinese from Hong Kong, information shall be reliable.

You might face difficulty if you do not speak their language. I heard from friends ppl who know a few languages can find job pretty easily, and for the jobs, i mean the decent jobs. But i also have met some foreigners who speak fluent cantonese. I suppose you can start learning the languages through watching their series. I learned that way and now i have no problem communicating in simple cantonese.
5 :
If you obtain enough of the proved of your fashions knowledge's, and working experienced, that may have a chance. There so many classifieds and informations of working in HK on the net and papers, Side of note of speaking language, if you insisted, you will find yourself you want to learn well about Cantonese and Mandarin hard. Good Luck!

Most places they speak English and you are doing just fine with that.

If Chinese passport holders need visa to work in Hong Kong
If Chinese passport holders need visa to work in Hong Kong?
I am a student, holding Chinese passport. Now I am applying to an internship program in HK, but I was noticed that "Due to the short period of the internship assignments, we are not able to sponsor visa for all internship positions." So just wondering if the Chinese passport holders need visa to work in Hong Kong?

Yes they need work visas. Internships are usually viewed as temporary jobs so it's not unusual that the company won't sponsor you a visa. Employers would want longer period of stay within the company to maximize the visa application.

What should I ask for now that my company is sending me overseas (Hong Kong) for work
What should I ask for now that my company is sending me overseas (Hong Kong) for work?
My company (headquartered in Boston) is going to be sending me to work in Hong Kong for the next 2 years. Are there any perks I should ask them for (airline tickets, cell phone, laptop, chinese language lessons) before I agree to go?
Careers & Employment - 5 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Ask for anything you can think of, especially a raise for the increase in your cost of living. Relocation Language lessons Aid in finding housing etc.
2 :
Don't agree to anything until you have decided what exactly it is you want from them. Like for them to pay your phone bill each month, because calling home from Hong Kong can be very costly. A first class trip back home to Boston every 6 months, and your internet fees. These are just for starters.. But then you wouldn't be able to pay me enough to work in Hong Kong.
3 :
I have been abroad several times on work assignments. Your company should be providing the following: 1) Hotel accomodation whilst you get permament accomodation. 2) Help with finding accomodation, schools etc, for you and family if taking them as well. 3) You will probably need a maid in Hong Kong - this is cultural and helps you survive in a foreign culture. 4) Office space 5) Per diem if expenses are more in HK 6) Help from a native in settling in, getting a bank account etc. 7) Some flights if leave your family at home. Of course they will fly you and your effects out there. Hong Kong is a wonderful place and you will probably work using English. Your maid will help you with the very Chineese stuff. It's a privalege and a good boost to your career. Enjoy it!
4 :
Ask for it all. The old saying, "If you don't ask, than you know the answer" I would ask for: Cell phone charges to be paid Hotel accomodations or other living arrangement allocations Language lessons are a must Interpretation assistance Rental car assistance or a company car.
5 :
Hong Kong is a beautiful vibrant city with tons of culture. Many people speak English. It is very international. I would go if given this opportunity, it is frequently a way to move up in corporations, and a great way to see the world. This is what I would ask for: - You must have a company charge card. - First I would ask for a "pre-trip" of about 2 weeks to check out the city, see if you like it, find a place to live there, get used to the food, etc. Make it 2 weeks, not 1, because you will be jet-lagged at first. Fly Business Class, stay at the Conrad Hotel in Central. If they want to fly you coach and put you up at a second rate hotel, tell them to forget about it. - Then ask for 3 to 4 weeks back at home to pack your things, visit family and friends, and get your "stuff" prepared for an extended leave. - A local cell phone is a must, as is a wireless laptop. - All transportation must be Business or First class air. No coach. The flight(s) from Boston will take 16 hours or more. - Ask for paid trips back home about once per quarter (for holidays, family functions, vacations, etc.). Also ask that you may have the option of fying someone to visit you (girlfreind, sister, friend, whoever) in lieu of you flying home for one of the quarterly trips. - The cost of living is very high. The cost of food is high. I would ask for a daily meal allowance of $60 or more. As far as expenses, I would ask for a daily allowance - usually called a "per diem" - rather than actual expenses. If you have to submit actual expenses you will need to save and submit just about every receipt which can be tedious. I would recommend keeping receipts in a shoe box though in case anyone challenges your actual expenses, which WILL BE high in Hong Kong. - Where you live is very important. Apartments are very expensive, even in the outlying areas. I would recommend you stay downtown in "central" area at one of the International Hotels that have apartments. I recommend the Conrad (Hilton) Hotel ( http://conradhotels1.hilton.com/en/ch/brandServices.do?service=residences ). The Grand Hyatt, Peninsula, Four Seasons, Shangri-La and JW Marriot are all very nice too. Most have very nice apartments, and most of the people at these places speak English so that will be a big help. If you will be working in Kowloon (north, across water from Central) the Intercontinental is high class. Choose your location, don't let someone choose it for you. Hong Kong is huge, you could get stuck many miles outside of the city. - The transportation system is very good. Ask for a fully funded "octopus" card ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus_Card )which will allow you to take any train or bus anywhere, and pay for expenses.

My company (headquartered in Boston) is going to be sending me to work in Hong Kong for the next 2 years. Are there any perks I should ask them for (airline tickets, cell phone, laptop, chinese language lessons) before I agree to go?

Ask for anything you can think of, especially a raise for the increase in your cost of living. Relocation Language lessons Aid in finding housing etc.
2 :
Don't agree to anything until you have decided what exactly it is you want from them. Like for them to pay your phone bill each month, because calling home from Hong Kong can be very costly. A first class trip back home to Boston every 6 months, and your internet fees. These are just for starters.. But then you wouldn't be able to pay me enough to work in Hong Kong.
3 :
I have been abroad several times on work assignments. Your company should be providing the following: 1) Hotel accomodation whilst you get permament accomodation. 2) Help with finding accomodation, schools etc, for you and family if taking them as well. 3) You will probably need a maid in Hong Kong - this is cultural and helps you survive in a foreign culture. 4) Office space 5) Per diem if expenses are more in HK 6) Help from a native in settling in, getting a bank account etc. 7) Some flights if leave your family at home. Of course they will fly you and your effects out there. Hong Kong is a wonderful place and you will probably work using English. Your maid will help you with the very Chineese stuff. It's a privalege and a good boost to your career. Enjoy it!
4 :
Ask for it all. The old saying, "If you don't ask, than you know the answer" I would ask for: Cell phone charges to be paid Hotel accomodations or other living arrangement allocations Language lessons are a must Interpretation assistance Rental car assistance or a company car.
5 :
Hong Kong is a beautiful vibrant city with tons of culture. Many people speak English. It is very international. I would go if given this opportunity, it is frequently a way to move up in corporations, and a great way to see the world. This is what I would ask for: - You must have a company charge card. - First I would ask for a "pre-trip" of about 2 weeks to check out the city, see if you like it, find a place to live there, get used to the food, etc. Make it 2 weeks, not 1, because you will be jet-lagged at first. Fly Business Class, stay at the Conrad Hotel in Central. If they want to fly you coach and put you up at a second rate hotel, tell them to forget about it. - Then ask for 3 to 4 weeks back at home to pack your things, visit family and friends, and get your "stuff" prepared for an extended leave. - A local cell phone is a must, as is a wireless laptop. - All transportation must be Business or First class air. No coach. The flight(s) from Boston will take 16 hours or more. - Ask for paid trips back home about once per quarter (for holidays, family functions, vacations, etc.). Also ask that you may have the option of fying someone to visit you (girlfreind, sister, friend, whoever) in lieu of you flying home for one of the quarterly trips. - The cost of living is very high. The cost of food is high. I would ask for a daily meal allowance of $60 or more. As far as expenses, I would ask for a daily allowance - usually called a "per diem" - rather than actual expenses. If you have to submit actual expenses you will need to save and submit just about every receipt which can be tedious. I would recommend keeping receipts in a shoe box though in case anyone challenges your actual expenses, which WILL BE high in Hong Kong. - Where you live is very important. Apartments are very expensive, even in the outlying areas. I would recommend you stay downtown in "central" area at one of the International Hotels that have apartments. I recommend the Conrad (Hilton) Hotel ( http://conradhotels1.hilton.com/en/ch/brandServices.do?service=residences ). The Grand Hyatt, Peninsula, Four Seasons, Shangri-La and JW Marriot are all very nice too. Most have very nice apartments, and most of the people at these places speak English so that will be a big help. If you will be working in Kowloon (north, across water from Central) the Intercontinental is high class. Choose your location, don't let someone choose it for you. Hong Kong is huge, you could get stuck many miles outside of the city. - The transportation system is very good.

The game will work as the PS3 can play any region games. As far as the language it depends on the video game, check with your supplier.

ps3 games are all non regional - i would imagine you would have english as an option at least but it could be that it is in chinese/cantonese whatever initially.

Normally it's in chinese. I bought some games but faiiiil. -.- but you can check with the store your buying them from.

OMG FIRST SOUTH AFRICA IVE MET ON YAHOO!!! I used to live in knysna, western cap close to George and Plett ^^. I dont suggest buying ps3 games from there because I remember buying ps2 games and you neeed a special chip to play them >>" And of course they are going to be in chinese because imagine they sell english games in a Chinese speaking country I dont think the natives will be very happy XD So Yes dot risk it. WOW stll amazed I moved from SA to Belgium and Ireally miss it :) Well I hope this help and have fun in HONG KONG Hope thi is the best answer :)

ps3 is not region encoded so any game from any region will work on any ps3, but as of language, you need to make sure that the game supports multi-language and most games from hong kong are in japanese so i might ask the seller before purchasing anything.

Do Phones from Hong Kong work on tmobile
Do Phones from Hong Kong work on tmobile?
So I’m about to go visit Hong Kong and I was thinking about buying a new cell phone while I’m there since they’re cheaper and have a greater variety, but how do I know whether or not they will work when I get back to the US. I know it’s not as simple as placing the sim card in the new phone. I am on the t mobile network. Any advice or tips will be very helpful.

Actually, it *is* "as simple as placing the SIM card in the new phone." A HK phone that uses a SIM card will work on U.S. networks that also use SIM cards. Your biggest concern is getting an adapter for your charger that will fit in North American wall sockets. Those are cheap and sold everywhere. You shouldn't have to worry about getting one that converts voltage. All cellphones I've seen can be charged in either a 110V or 220V socket.

Any Ps3 game should work on the ps3 because it is region free. But the ps3 has backwards computability issues, so not all or any ps1 or ps2 games will work. Still it looks like Sony has a lot of problems to fix out of that over heating piece of hardware. The link below will explain more to you. glancing at the chart under "Retail Configurations" it should be fine because it will use an emulation software to run it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3

vancouver is beautiful, there is a lot of ski you can do there and the way of life is nice. I've been to hong kong and loved it though. I would chose HK.

Which is better to live and work - Hong Kong or Vancouver? I am british born chinese guy who wants to leave the UK and work in either Hong Kong or Vancouver. I haven't visited HK on numerous occasions but yet to see Vancouver. I'd like to know good and bad points of both places so my decision can be easier. Any info
