Can a Chinese Z visa holder work in Hong Kong

Can a Chinese Z visa holder work in Hong Kong?
I have interview invitations from Hong Kong employers. Now the main concern is whether a Chinese Z visa holder can work in Hong Kong. If not, what are the procedures to ammend the Chinese Z visa. Thank you for your advice.

China is legally considered a different entity to Hong Kong, you'll need to apply for a work visa to get into Hong Kong. You'll also need a new visa to go back to China.

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.

Can I enter Hong Kong on a tourist visa and then later apply for a work visa

Can I enter Hong Kong on a tourist visa and then later apply for a work visa?
I am a British citizen looking to live and work in Hong Kong next year. I am entitled to spend six months as a tourist without a visa. Would it be possible for me to enter HK as a tourist, look for a job there, and then try to get a work visa once I'd been offered a job?
