Excerpted from the Hong Kong Career Guide
The general business climate is
buzzing in almost every direction, from media and marketing to
sales, tourism, advertising and public relations. In view of Hong
Kong’s current good retail market, fresh university graduates can
look forward to promising careers in many sectors, particularly in
the marketing and sales sectors according to data provided by the
CareerMatch Human Resources Consultancy. "This year the market is
very good; the number of jobs has increased. Undergraduates can find
work more easily and earlier than last year," CareerMatch Director
Benny Hui told the South China Morning Post. "Many of the
jobs are in marketing and sales, and companies in these fields are
interested in recruiting students from all different backgrounds."
The position of sales representatives
is the most difficult to fill according to a recent survey by
Manpower. This is not good news for a shopping paradise like Hong
Kong, where retailers already pay top dollar for skilled labor. However,
with the hot retail boom in Hong Kong, staff turnover and vacancies
are likely to stay high. The need for sales talent expands to other
categories, including management executives, administrative
assistants, buying staff, customer service representatives and sales
managers.
This is just a sample of what
you'll find in the complete Hong Kong guide.
