    Red face Hi guys!

    Actually it's my first time this on website and I don't know how to start hahah so funny I just click somewhere else I can find.

    and it seems very can useful..

    I have questions ..

    i am am filipina working as dh until now and I'm nearly end to my contract next year on April ..is there a big chance that I can apply some other companies here?like office staff,data entry etc..
    im bachelor degree as business management and having also previous experience in private companies and government because sometimes I feel uncomfortable on my job being as DH.


    thanks so many

    You would need to be sponsored by an employer in order to work in those kind of jobs, and to tell the truth this is unlikely - sponsorship is generally only possible in jobs which local permanent residents are unable to do - not things like office staff and data entry.

    My boss is very kind sir and she likes my performance but in my heart I want to work external.

    Ive tried so many times to apply some part time jobs such as date entry,sales associate, promoter, model etc but I failed, no one response it it's been a months.

    i need more income for myself..

    thanks

    In order for you to work in HK and NOT as a DH, you will need to find a JOB that is willing to sponsor your work visa and to get a work visa the sponsoring company will have to go through application process with HK Immigration which requires a few basic minimums

    1: Minimum Monthly salary of at least HK$15000
    2. a Job that a local HK person cannot perform or cannot find someone in HK to do the job

    Office staff and data entry clerks I can find 1000s of local HK People, University graduates and pay HK$8000 above, why would I hire someone from outside and pay HK$15000 above. Also as you are on a DH visa, the part time jobs you applied for they will NEVER Hire you as its too much of a risk.

    Your might want to find Part Time job in other houses as a DH charging 80HK$ per hour on days off or whenever you have free time.

    Good Luck

    English teaching may be possible. Have you thought about that?

    Yes, English teaching (in a language centre) would be a possibility, although it is probable you will need to be persistent (don't give up because the first few places you try want someone who looks "western"). Your chances would increase if you could do a bit of training - maybe online in your spare time, or better if you can return to Philippines after your current contract finishes and do a more recognised short TEFL course there.

    I have certainly seen another Pinay make this transition to teaching, although most of the former FDH I know who have moved to other jobs here have more specialised qualifications, such as in engineering or nursing.
