Hi,

I am a professional accountant, too but, have been finding it real tough to find a job in HK. I was previously in India and have a 3 yr. work exp but, the companies' responses here have been quite demotivating and have left me wondering what the reason is. Some people say work permit is the biggest stumbling block but then, it becomes a vicious cycle...until I get a job here and someone is ready to sponsor my visa, how do I claim to have a permit to work?!!

As far the language problem goes, people have mixed reactions...some say, it's not much of an issue, though, knowing Cantonese or Mandarin definitely does increase one's chances of finding a job. However some say, no cantonese, no job!!
Or, is there a third problem of which, I am totally unaware!! I would really appreciate if, you guys can give me some inputs on this and help me out a li'l in my job hunt.

Thanks a ton!
