Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |

A BBA is a dime a dozen these days so having good English is a leg up.

it is difficult to compete with people here who have a couple of undergrad degrees, 3 master degrees and a handful of professional qualification.
Speak fluent English is a must, but native english speakers will not make you much better. Of course it depends on which company you are working for. I used to work for Bank of China, absolutely no English needed.

Say you have a BBA / fluent English / etc...
How likely will they hire you if you can't read/write Chinese, but you can fluently speak/understand it?

The only companies you can apply to are the international companies. However, as international companies, the competition is very high. In this case, either your work experience is very good or you have very a network.... if not then..... well... you are out of luck.

How is the neighborhood in terms of outside traffic, etc.
Thanks.

Thanks. | its almost in the middle of no where. houses are relatively new and well kept. given the price of that area, it better be.
if you can afford it, its a great place to live, much better than living at the peak imo... but it takes at least 30 minutes to drive to central.

Anyways I'm living in Happy Valley, owning the place. But I sometimes go back to my parents place which is in Sai Kung.
