Q: Can you give 3 tips for young people who wish to visit the working holiday destination of your choice?
A:
1)
Hong Kong is expensive; make sure you budget well in advance!
2)
Try and make some friends as soon as you can. It's a big city and you can feel quite aimless at times. Check out Expat Living for some "what's on" activities where you can easily meet other people.
3)
Network as much as possible. Connect with people on Linkedin. Head to industry events. Or just speak to people in the areas you want to work. Opportunities can be found everywhere.
