    Find a job for 14 days

    Hi All. There's situation. I'm russian 47 y.o. experienced musician (guitar,vocal, bass guitar) with wide english repertoire can sing chinese and japan, english skill is 4 from 10. Have got no any diploma. I was working across China about 1 years at all in my past but dream about big city and more possibilities for me. There's 14 day free visa for russians in HK. Can I find a job for me during these days in HK? Where can I look some employer's contacts? Is possible to make work permit visa in this period? May anybody advise smth.?
    Thanks a lot!
    PS. HK is nearest civil center for my location (exept Singapore (too dificult for assimilation).

    It takes 4-6 weeks for the employment visa process, that's after you find a sponsor.

    Do you have a visa for China? If so, base yourself in Shenzhen or Guangdong for a while and come over to HK for a few days at a time to job search, going back to China before your visa runs out. That way you can look for a job and get the visa.
    You have to show you have skills not possessed by a local (special musical skills should meet this, if you are good) but you'd need to network here to find a job. I suggest walking through the various bars and other places that have music and offering to do an hour for free or such like so that they can see what you do.

    Also - you may want to try Macau. They have casinos with much more entertainment than HK, probably hire many more people. Macau is a separate visa etc than HK and I know nothing about it.

    Good luck anyway.
