So I have just returned from an 8 month worldwide trip with my husband. Not only have I returned to the uk but I have also returned to my old job and am living with the parents-in-law* until the people who are are renting our flat leave in July.I am feeling a bit displaced at the moment. But I am pretty certain that this is not the reason for wanting to go to Hong Kong. But I am also not exactly sure what is the reason. My 3 day disaster last January is surely not be the reason. During the 2nd night of a 2 night stay in Chungking Mansions I was convinced that if my kidney was not removed then I would almost certainly burn to death. I escape but nonetheless my kidneys had suffered to to the amount of dutch courage required to stay there, and I did come away with a lingering desire for a tikka masala. 3rd night spent in something much more inhabitable
So I am back and I really want to live and work in Hong Kong. I am pretty qualified in my profession and my skills are transferable and for some reason I thought it would be much easier that it is. No doubt this blog will expose my naivety but hopefully it will also chart my success.
So far my tactics have been entirely internet based.
1) approaching randoms on linkedin and asking them for help - success factor 0
2) Campaign asia jobs, more lucrative in terms of information but success factor still 0
3) general google searching - 0
4) sending my cv to major recruiters, again 0.
Anyway with week one bearing no fruits hopefully there might be a nice fat durian for me next week.
