You don't say what your skills, experience and qualifications are, so it is hard to be able to assist you. However, based on the jobs you say you are interested in, then I would have thought that since your wife's family already live here, you should see if you can get something via their contacts. A lot of jobs are filled through networking here.

I agree @Scousebanana, networking is going to be the best bet in this situation.

Security jobs in HK - scrawny guys working 12 hour shifts with no action.

Not much happens here. A few diamond heists now and then.

hi Fiona in hk

I have done some certifications but I don't have experience in this field.
I have done bachelors in business and then moved into Networking field.
EMPLOYER /COMPANIES atleast need 1 year experience in this field...99% jobs require some experience.but im new in this field.

so I think,initially I will have to do some labour job ,isn`t it guys?

@javi in order to do security work you need to get a permit, look at the police website and download the forms to apply.

Security Personnel Permit and what's new | Hong Kong Police Force
