Hong Kong is a popular city for Western expatriates, not only for its culture, cuisine and social life, but for the increased chances of finding employment at major international companies such as HSBC, JP Morgan, Citibank, Standard Chartered, Fidelity, GE and Maybank. However, Hong Kong has begun to revolutionise its job market by prioritising its local citizens and graduates in the field of banking and finance, as well as other top employment categories. Most expats currently working here have been relocated from their main companies in London, New York and other major cities. This makes getting a work visa even more challenging.
Here are some of the best ways to find your desired banking and finance job in Hong Kong.
Enhance your skills and talents
If you want to find a job in banking and finance, you should already have the skills required in this business-related category. Whether you are a Hong Kong resident, an immigrant or an expatriate applying for a work visa, you must have an appropriate education in this specialised business field.
You can enhance your skills by working as an assistant or in any lower position while studying, or while you are still seeking your main target job or position. This will enhance your banking and finance skills, while empowering your employment history to help you secure a better position in the future.
