    Would it be possible to get an IT job in HK w 2 yrs IT helpdesk analyst experience

    As above, and with no chinese language skills, would it be possible at all?

    It is like asking "how long is a piece of string".

    Is your help desk experience, say specialist? i.e. You can support some exotic software better than anyone else in the world? Or are you setting up people's computers to use Microsoft Word?

    Does you company have an office in Hong Kong? Will they accept you based on your corporate experience being essential?

    Unless you work for a business that sells and supports English only-based software your chances will be small. I doubt that it will be paying you much either and the cost of living here is high.

    If you work as helpdesk or support specialist, you need to talk to the office locals all the time. You don't speak local language, you chance is very slim.

    Unless you are focused on internal IT support for a multi-national, but even most of those are outsourced these days...
