I want to work in Hong Kong

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, 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..

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

I heard that there are 1000 opened space each year, but so far only around 300 or so got approved since it launched. But you can give a try in Hong Kong since Hong Kong got what you want to do and it is very entertaining when have time discovering the city and look at its modern infrastructure compare to the US. And Im glad that you get to know this piece of news because there are only a small number of people who knows it. Hong Kong is thirsty for talents and Im sure you will have a great career in Hong Kong with the talent you have because they are looking for talent to help improve Hong Kong's competitiveness. Hong Kong got what you need. with very modern transportation network so you won't get lost when you travel through the city. Here is the website of information about the program if you need more info: http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/QMAS.htm

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.

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!!!
