I have 3+ years experience as a risk manager in a financial institution covering credit risk, market risk, risk modeling, as well as operational risk between 2013 and 2016, but these experiences were outside Hong Kong (my HK experience is some teaching experience in a tertiary institution), though I have lived in Hong Kong for a while. I have been looking for jobs in Hong Kong since December 2016 with no success; I have sent out so many applications (banking and finance, corporate training, teaching, consulting, etc) with only 2 interviews and also met a lot of recruiters but the key challenge is language barrier.
I have transferable risk management and investment management skills to industries outside finance. I am also open to jobs outside finance e.g. consulting, teaching/corporate training jobs in finance, investment, risk management, high school/tertiary teaching in finance, investments, math, business studies, economics, etc. I can pretty much do office-related tasks in the interim.
My challenge is I can't speak Chinese which narrows my chances to an extent, so any lead and advice will be greatly appreciated.
My qualifications: M.Sc in Financial Engineering (Quant Finance), B.Sc in Accounting, Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Financial Risk Manager (FRM), and Professional Risk Manager (PRM) designations.
I am an ethnic minority (not a western expat) but I speak fluent English, and hold a Hong Kong permanent resident ID.
