Working in Hong Kong

Hong Kong offers strong opportunities in hotels, restaurants, retail, finance, technology, logistics and professional services. Hospitality jobs are concentrated on Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, Lantau and major resort districts.

Public transport is excellent, although housing can be expensive and space is limited. Residents enjoy excellent dining, shopping, hiking, beaches and nearby islands.
