Looking for work in Hong Kong without speaking Cantonese


Looking for work in Hong Kong without speaking Cantonese?
I am a qualified accountant and am looking to move to Hong Kong in mid Feb this year and am currently searching for work, however, I do not speak Cantonese and all the appropriate jobs that I find online require this. Does anyone know of some websites with jobs for English speakers? Thanks for any help!

Unfortunately all the accountant positions in Hong Kong require good command of English and Mandarin, or Good command of English and Cantonese !!! There are opportunities available, though they might be limited to senior positions - where Cantonese/Mandarin isn't a prerequisite. To start your search, try www.jobsdb.com.hk, or even www.classifiedpost.com.You could even try the black and white section of HK Magazine. They usually have a good listing of expat jobs.
