    I believe she is kicking her fat galoot of a boyfriend in the back of the head in a sadistic attempt to revive him. Obviously!!

    Dutchman - I said begging because it is an English expression, its not meant to be taken literally.
    But in seriousness, I think you are unlikely to find a job in the areas you have enquired about. Your best bet is to marry your GF (if its a serious relationship) or perhaps try Dutch companies in HK using your language skills (dutch, not English!) as your selling point.
    Skills such as sales, dancing or being a model aren't going to land you a working visa...

    To me, both seem equally matched.

    I don't apply PDLM's principles of robotic English, but it seems to me that "who' should be used in that case.

    One of us is going to get a robotic beatdown now!

    all they say , you(might)be suitable for our company and fit perfect in the team,
    - but sorry we not sponsor any work permit.
    OP: You may want to familiarize yourself with the requirements for an employment visa in Hong Kong - in short the job vacancy cannot be something that can be filled by local talent and you typically need a university degree or greater - think things like lawyer, accountant, consultant and other professional positions, English teacher, etc. It seems that for at least for some (and quite possibly all) of the positions you have listed above an employment visa would not be granted as the criteria would not be met.

    Here is an exerpt from the Immigration web site regarding eligibility for an employment visa:
    III.
    General Employment Policy (GEP)





    Eligibility Criteria

    20. Applicants who are not non-local graduates but possess special skills, knowledge or experience of value to and not readily available in the HKSAR may apply to come to work under the GEP.

    21. An application for a visa/ entry permit to take up employment under the GEP may be favourably considered if:

    (a) there is no security objection and no known record of serious crime in respect of the applicant;
    (b) the applicant has a good education background, normally a first degree in the relevant field, but in special circumstances, good technical qualifications, proven professional abilities and/or relevant experience and achievements supported by documentary evidence may also be accepted;
    (c) there is a genuine job vacancy;
    (d) the applicant has a confirmed offer of employment and is employed in a job relevant to his academic qualifications or working experience that cannot be readily taken up by the local work force; and
    (e) the remuneration package including income, accommodation, medical and other fringe benefits is broadly commensurate with the prevailing market level for professionals in the HKSAR.
