Hi everyone,
I am looking to move to HK from the UK in the next few months, and I'm just after some advice. I have lived in the UK from birth, have a Maths degree from the University of Manchester, and have been working for a financial services company for the past 2 years. I've been in my current role (Business Support Specialist) for 14 months, and mainly involves data/business analysis, and other elements of operations support.
I'm looking for a job as a Data Analyst (or something similar) in HK. I can speak Cantonese, but my writing is only basic, and I have a HKID. I already have a place to stay in HK (relatives) so the only blocker currently is finding a job.
I've been applying for jobs online for around a month, mostly through sites like JobsDB, and a few directly on companies' websites. I've not had any response yet apart from someone from Adecco who said that my profile looked interesting but said that I would need to be in HK before they could set any interviews up as most companies would want face-to-face interviews.
My initial plan was to find a job before I moved over, but I'm considering whether I should just hand my notice in at work and go... I would be staying with relatives so I would be OK even if it was a few months before I found anything. I'm torn right now on what to do...
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
