wow, it´s kind of reading my own story. my bf´s job is the reason why we are here for the last 2,5 years. after arrival I immediately started to look for a job, because I wanted (that time I even didn´t know, that I need some kind of visa - not the turist visa although - to stay in HK ligally. It was not that easy but after xxx aplications I finally found a job. well, I lost is later on due to the economic crisis. my working visa was still valid, so I was still ligally here. New job search, much harder than the first one. I was so desperate, it was not healthey for me, for my relationship. fortunatelly I am not native English speaker (ask Movingin07 so speaking another european lenguage I have an ability which not many locals have. this was the solution. I found a job which requires 100% fluency in German, my HK local compatition wasn´t strong.
My advise, forget your English, it´s really not that special in HK and try to focus on some other skills, you have for sure. Don´t give up, HK is a working place, there are lots of vaccancies! It may take time although... Good luck!!!!
