Chances of getting a job in Hong Kong?
Hello, I am an international student from Eastern Europe and I am currently attending one of the universities in Hong Kong. I am also learning Cantonese and I can speak a bit Mandarin. My industry interest is related to Marketing and Advertising. Is there any chance for me to get a good job in Hong Kong, even if I am a foreigner? And, also, are the job permision and visa requirements for foreigners very strict and problematic?

Nope, Rules are like france they must give detailed explict reasons as to why a local person cannot do this job before giving it to you. Which is a biggie with regards to getting a work visa. Marketting and advertising is already crowded with lots of native talent, therefore everybody in HK and everybody who has the right to live in HK i.e. me and almost all overseas HK people have to be considered before you.

Yes you can, specially if you can get into international companies in Hong Kong. Usually, work visa for foreigners are very specific and maybe a bit strict, the company must provide a good reason for hiring a foreigner, and this will be reviewed before granting you the visa. So my advice is you need a good competitive edge not only to impress your employer but also reflect well in your work visa application.
