Hello All,
I came here seeking your advice and wisdom.
I wanted to immigrate back to Hong Kong and had my sight set on the Police probationary Inspector role and have been training for it for the past (almost a) year. I failed the written portion of the Chinese test and the retest situation has gotten me pretty frustrated and I find myself needing a backup plan.
A little background about me. I'm born in Hong Kong but basically raised in Canada. I know how to read and write Chinese as I've had a little over two years of elementary school (grade 4-6) experiences in Hong Kong. I've also gone to University in China (Zhejiang) for a bit as an exchange student so I know Mandarin as well. I got a Business Administration Bachelor Degree from a school in Canada. I've been reading the Singtao news (every Hong Kong article) daily to help with understanding more about Hong Kong and to brush up on my Chinese. I have HK permanent resident status as well (for those wondering).
So I came here to ask about your own experience finding employment in different fields. Where would you recommend looking for jobs? My Aunties has recommended I go on jobsdb to look for jobs, but I find that they're mostly entry-level or over require 8+ years of experience.
I just took the June CRE and currently waiting for the results. Once it comes back I can look into government jobs as well. I was wondering if there were other recommendations and would love to hear your own experiences in finding employment in Hong Kong.
Personally, I don't mind working in any field. I just want a job that can support my lifestyle and allow me to save and travel. The reason I wanted the probationary inspector job was that it fit my ideals. It would've allowed me to continue to grow as well as being able to help others. I'm not worried about living accommodations and I live near an MTR line.
I have HK permanent resident status.
Thank you for reading. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I would love to hear from you stuff like what companies I should avoid or which ones are pretty good etc.
Once again thank you and stay safe!
