English Tutoring Services in Hong Kong looking for hiring?
I'm a student that's just graduated from an international high school in Hong Kong and I wanted to teach English in the summer. Anyone know any organizations or institutions in Hong Kong that would like to hire me?

Unfortunately there is a big supply of "English teachers" in Hong Kong. So I somewhat doubt that someone simply wants to hire you. It is of course also a question of your own qualifications. That being said, it is certainly possible to find a job teaching English but it most certainly takes an a bit more pro-active approach. One option would be to check the many websites etc. that were created as a platform for people like you offering their skills, but I can tell you from experience, that you will not find a stable supply of work there. You could check Jobsdb.com, they are often looking for English teachers there. Or other similar websites of course. However, what has worked best for me was to use the local supermarket boards to advertise teaching services (mind you its been a long time since i have done that though). Its a free way to advertise yourself all over Hong Kong (of course u gotta visit each store etc). There are alot more ways, but without knowing your background, I would stick to that for now.

Tokyo or Hong Kong for university in english?
Tokyo or Hong Kong for university in english?
I would like to spend some time in an Asian metropolis, and would like to do some schooling while I am there. I narrowed my options down to either Hong Kong or Tokyo. I find both appealing, realize that both are costly, and understand that both a likely totally different. I enjoy the tall buildings of Hong Kong and the ultra-modernization of Tokyo. Which city would you suggest for an open minded, english speaking student?

Hong Kong should be a better choice because this city used to be a British colony for over 100 years until 1997, English used to be the official language here until then. Most people at least speak some basic English and there are signages in English everywhere, all products come with English description and instructions. In Japan even in Tokyo, very few people really know English, most products only come with Japanese description.

Hi buddy. I would support longliveabcdefg. Hong Kong should be a better choice. Because Hong Kong city used to be a British colony for over centuries until 1997, English used to be the official language here until then. Most people at least speak some basic English and there are signages in English everywhere, all products come with English description and instructions. In Japan even in Tokyo, very few people really know English, most products only come with Japanese description. So instead of learning english you will end-up struggling for japanese language.

Which is an easier path to Hong Kong?
Which is an easier path to Hong Kong?
I'm currently working in Manila and I was asked if I wanted to work in Vietnam. Being 23, I'd like to be independent. But I don't like to go to Vietnam because it's third world. My dream is to move to Hong Kong. I applied as a language student in Shanghai and was accepted. I am now contemplating whether to accept the Vietnam job or try my luck in Shanghai as a language student then look for a job in Shanghai which will eventually lead to me moving to hong kong.

If you're aiming at Hong Kong, you should consider going to Shanghai first. Hong Kong and Shanghai are both the biggest financial and commercial centers of China, there is a lot of activities between these 2 cities. Not knowing what kind of job is offered in Vietnam, you should also consider if this job could make you advance in your career significantly. Most jobs offered in Hong Kong are financial and services, is the job in Vietnam related to these fields?
2 :
Your context above have already got your question half answered. Going to Shanghai is one step closer to Hong Kong. That being said, HK is an extremely competitive market, the people are well known for working long hours, very persistent and diligent in their work attitudes. Additionally there's no lack of generalists in the city, to find an employer who is willing to take the extra mile to sponsor a foreign employee, he/she must pocess a special skill above all the right working attitudes. There's a will, there's a way, I wish you good luck!
