Hi all,
Just wondering if I could get some advice for you re Hong Kong. My wife got a job in Singapore so I moved here on a Dependents Pass, which allows me to work. However they recently passed legislation here that employers must consider Singaporeans first for positions, and there must be a certain quota of Singaporeans in the workplace, so despite the fact that I can live and work here, I'm at a complete disadvantage.
We've decided to look at other options in case this continues much longer so are looking at jobs in HK. If one of us gets a job I understand the spouse can come as a dependent and work as per here in SG. I was wondering if there are any such "positive" discrimination employment initiatives in HK like what is happening here?
Also if one of us gets a job, the other would look at temping work while trying to find a career job. Are there any temping agencies for general admin work that you might recommend? I have checked some websites and many temping jobs also require Cantonese, so would there be one or 2 you could recommend that don't have such emphasis on Cantonese?
Thanks very much for your time
Dave
