Mock college interview in Hong Kong?

Mock college interview in Hong Kong?
I am applying to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology as an undergraduate student in Global Business and I will maybe get an interview on the 7th of January. I need a mock interview and/or an interview preparation course but did not found any in Hong Kong. Can anyone help me to find this? Thanks in advance. By the way I only have 3 more days.

I've done many college interviews, so here's some typical questions, and yes, these are Chinese-based, to a degree. What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? Who is your model i.e. who do you look up to, why? (This can be a person alive or dead) Describe a recent book you read, why did you read it, what was it like? (I was actually asked this, believe it or not) What do you hope to do when you leave college? What does your room look like? Is it messy or neat? (These are honesty questions, and if it is messy, quickly make is sound neat or they will think you are lying...I mean by get a response quickly.) What are your hobbies? What do you do to schedule your time? What traits do you look for in a friend? What traits do you value? I could go on and on forever with these, but this is just and idea. Typical interviews are around 30 minutes to an hour. Good luck!

Here are ten of the actual questions being used in these student interviews at HKU this year and last year... The University of Hong Kong 1.You are meeting Chairman Hu Jintao. What would you say to him? 2.Beijing Olympics 2008: What are the advantages and the disadvantages? 3.(Qinghai )Tibet Railway : What are the advantages and the disadvantages of the new rail link? 4.Foreign boys/men in China regularly marry Chinese girls. Why do you think it is that usually the foreign girls do not marry Chinese boys? 5.You have 30 billion RMB to develop China – How will you spend it? 6.A Disneyland in Shanghai – Do you think it’s necessary? [Already a Disneyland in Hong Kong!] 7.Bill Gates left university before graduating – Can he still be considered a ‘good example’ to children? 8.Smoking in public (in China) – What’s your opinion? 9.Chinese movies vs Hollywood movies – Which do you prefer? Why? 10. What are the qualities of a successful international student?

Need some help with trip to Hong Kong?

Need some help with trip to Hong Kong?
I'll stop over at Hong Kong on the way back to my country. It's gonna be like 2 days. What you might recommend for the accommodation? I'm a female college student traveling alone, prefer something affordable and safe. Any suggestions about must-dos? I'm not that interested in shopping. I just wanna wander around, see how they really live and just chill :)

There're lots of Eng/computer teaching jobs available in HK. Get hold of a copy of the Saturday edition of South China Morning Post where there're hundreds of jobs posted. You can try looking for the paper in a big library or perhaps in a Chinatown bookstore. I'm sure you'll find HK a very exciting and fascinating place. Good luck!
3 :
please bear in mind that if you decide to get a job in HK you will need a working visa which will take up to 8 weeks to process.If you work for a reputable company you will have to have the visa BEFORE you start work which means that you will have to survive in a very expensive city for 8 weeks before you have income.If you choose computers you will be expected to speak Cantonese.If you choose English teacher you will only be expected to speak English.

Be an English teacher, there are some programs that recruits from overseas.

Lynn, The SCAD campus in Hong Kong is located in the Sham Shui Po district. Many of the instructors taught at our campuses in Savannah or Atlanta before teaching in Hong Kong. They all hold the highest credentials and have valuable professional experience. All classes are taught in English. The materials that you cover in each class would be the same as it would be at any other SCAD campus. Because of the British influence on Hong Kong it is fairly easy to get around the city with most signage being in English. I would encourage you to take a look at the SCAD Hong Kong website. It explains more about the facilities. If you have any questions you can contact the admission department at admission@scad.edu. Good luck!
