It will work, most laptop power cord is usually 110-250v. The only thing you might need is a different plug head to fit your outlet at home, but an adapter should pretty much take care of it.
2 :
Yes,it will work

Will I be able to find work in Hong Kong

Will I be able to find work in Hong Kong?
I'm interested in the fashion industry and want to work there. I'm Chinese but I don't speak Cantonese or Mandarin since I grew up in the Philippines. Would it be hard for me to find a job there? Or will it be hard living there if i don't speak the language?

Everyone there speaks English. You'll only run into a few that don't. It's British there. I'm there 2 times a year. I absolutely love it. Thank god for Hardrock! I'm not too much of an eater like them so I go to the American places which there are a lot. 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.

just work hard for your dreams and you will surely get it! go

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!

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.

Unless you have a HK identity card, then you must have an employment visa to work in HK.
3 :
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.
