Hi,

I am a (Chinese) US citizen, but I am planning to move to HK.  The HK Immigration told me via email that I am qualified to get a HK ID due to the fact my parents are Chinese, born from China and that my father currently lives in Beijing (with my father flying in to prove for me and he has a HK id). They told me that I need to get verified first for the eligibility for a HK id which takes about 6 weeks. After I get verified that I am eligible, do you know how long will the process of getting the HK ID take?

I had done several internships and have 1 year working experience in the marketing field with several MNC. I have very strong computer skills with Excel and most computer programs.  I speak Native English, and I can read, speak, and write Chinese.  My Cantonese is pretty much local Cantonese because I lived in HK for 4 years when I was 6-10.  I can listen to Mandarin without any problem and pretty much can speak effectively.  I am planning to go to Beijing to learn more or master my Putonghua while I wait to receive my HK id so I can find and get a job in HK.

How are my chances of landing a decent entry level job? Should I teach English in Beijing for half a year (or is it a waste of time)? Or should I just jump right into looking to start my career (after I get my hk id)? Is it smart to go to an employment agency for help or applying on jobs sites are enough? How much do most entry level marketing get pay?

I plan to go to HK in June or late August and then drop off my application to the immigration since they said I have to be in HK while I drop off the application. After that, I will fly to Beijing for about two months and head back to HK to job search. Is this a valid plan?

Thanks in advance,

Way
