 Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2011 10:18 pm Post subject: Advice on teaching in Hong Kong |
 |
|
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for advice on my chances of getting a job in Hong Kong for this school year. These are my details:
age: 21 years old, recent college grad
degree: BS in Sociology Administrative Studies
nationality: US born and have a US passport
ethnicity: taiwanese
I will finish my TEFL course on Aug 5 and am leaving for Hong Kong on Aug. 12th.
I have no experience and I know that Hong Kong is a very competitive place to obtain a job.
I am wondering what are my chances of getting a decent job?
I can live very frugally but I understand that HK has a high standard of living.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :] |

| Oh and any advice on how to apply for a visa would be helpful too. As far as I know, in order to apply for a work visa, you need to get a job first. Then the job will sponsor a visa for you. Is that true? If so, does this mean I only have 3 months to find a job before I have to leave? |

Leaving and returning with a new 90-day stamp is as easy and as cheap as a 3-hour round trip ferry ride to Macau (about HK$500).
You should probably spend some time reading the HK forum and post your query there.
