    Kitchen helper or photographer are not the jobs you will be granted a working visa.

    Should secure a job thats in demand and no suitable local candidates could employed.

So I prefer to work in service areas. Teaching in kindergartens is a lovely job... But as expected, HK has good standard. Bad for me as my degree is in business administration, I don't have TEFL Certificate and have no formal teaching experience. Only have 600 TOEFL Score...

    I also try to apply for kitchen helper position (food and beverages, as I love cooking and quite a food artist). But haven't got any calls. No wonder as there are plenty local candidates, maybe the employers won't sponsor.

    I am also an amateur photographer (another reason why I love Hong Kong) buttt, can't seem to find any related jobs.

    The visa problem is stressing me out
    To get an employment visa you need to offer something that a local does not and be earning a reasonable salary. I think you are going to struggle.
