Hong Kong is a compact international city and coastal territory rather than a single island, although Hong Kong Island is one of its main urban areas. It offers extensive opportunities in hotels, restaurants, bars, finance, retail, technology, logistics and tourism. Cantonese is the local language, while English is widely used in business and hospitality; Mandarin is also valuable. Life is energetic and convenient, with excellent public transport, dense shopping and dining districts, hiking trails, beaches and a vibrant nightlife. Housing can be expensive, so many employees live in Kowloon or the New Territories and commute by MTR. Foreign employees normally need an approved employment visa sponsored by their employer before starting work. Applicants should prepare passport documents, qualifications, references and proof of employment. Employers may provide relocation assistance, accommodation support or staff housing, but this varies by contract.
