What R mY chAnces of gettin' a good advertising/ marketing job in HK?

Hi y'all...

I'm from Toronto Canada and wanna know what are my chances of finding a descent paying job in advertising/ media or marketing in HK?? I've had 2 years of experience working in HK before but mainly in all sorts of fields as well as a year of exp. working in an int'l mid-size media agency. Now I'm working in Toronto in an agency as a research analyst in print media. I have an undergrad degree in B.A with 2 other diplomas from Canadian universities. I speak descent Mandarin but the only problem is that I dunno how to write chinese. Any chance I can find an account management job in HK with my experiences?

hi Dior and Steve,

I am from Toronto too

It shouldn't be a big problem to find a joib in HK with your background. Chinese written skill is an advantage but not a must for some companies, unless you are responsible for drafting press release in Chinese or communication with people in mainland China. A post of Marketing / Accounts Executive handling overseas clients doesn't need much Chinese written skill.

Good luck in your job hunting.

Thx Ohlala,

Are you currently in HK right now ? If so how was your adjustment period from T.DOT to HK? It's great knowing there are quite a few Torontonians making it in HK. Happy New Year.

Steve
