Hey all,
My husband (French Canadian) is looking for a job but is fretting because he thinks not speaking Cantonese will greatly impede his chance of landing work. There are a lot of people who work and live in HK for years without speaking the language... so there must be a way.
He has 12 years of management experience in software companies (Senior Development Manager), graduated top 5% in his eMBA class (Queens University). So for a similar job in HK - is Cantonese necessary?
If you don't speak Chinese - how did you manage to land your job?
Thanks!
