    HR it is...a few more questions!

    So...after a few posts on here and a lot of consideration I have decided to apply for HR jobs as it's what I know rather than look into teaching - I think this can be my back up. So three questions...

    - I am going to send my CV to the usual recruitment agencies like Michael Page, if anyone can recommend any other good agencies that would be very useful.

    - Any CV tips, do HK employers/agencies prefer CV's to be laid out any different from the usual way. I will also have a covering letter.

    - Finally, and maybe a bit more difficult...from the research I have done HK employment law does vary in some areas from UK law. I am looking to do a day or so on some sort of employment law course like you can in the UK, has anyone heard of these or know where to look. I did start looking but haven't found much...I may have to resort to good old books!

    Thanks for all your help guys, it has been really useful.

    Just a few questions to consider - as this is how recruiting firms will think about when they look at your CV.

    Do you have the right of abode for HK?
    What experience do you have in HR that cannot be met by the local market?
