老婆申請我過去, 話阿仔係個邊讀會好好多, 阿仔宜家2 yr,
另一方面, 老婆又驚我搵唔到野做, 即使搵到野做, 都只係做侍應, 工廠工, 會好辛苦, 但我唔想離開阿仔.....
我大學畢業, 宜家係中層管理, 準時返工放工, 冇乜壓力, 好自由, 即使打機/訓覺/睇movie 都得,
有心理準備從0開始, 但其實係咪真係要做侍應, 工廠工???
仲有咩建議?? 定係學定多幾樣野先?

其實英文差都可以搵到好多工架WO...
我有個同學佢DADDY MAMMY 都識好少英文, 但係佢地都入左間全國性連鎖店入面做CASHIER.
可能係會比HK 辛苦D, 但係日子過得OK 又可以負擔起買車同埋生活. 最重要就係有醫療, 退休D福利同埋年尾又有BOUNUS. 呢邊搵工, 呢D BENEFIT 都好重要.
人生唔係要不斷賞試新事物咩? 可能你有朝一日都會係呢邊開拓到你GE 新事業呢

如果你真係好驚, 你可以讀書. 呢邊有好多社區大學幫失業人仕學多一門一技之長. 又有張CERTIFICATE 比番你. 你又可以申請FINANCIAL AID. 其實只要你肯學, 肯試就去邊度都無問題的.

I live in New York! Depends on where you live in New York there are places that cost alot more than $1500 US dollars, but ofcause there are less.Also beside a huge Chinatown. New York has like 3 to 4 other areas that look like Chinatown. Elmhurst, Flushing and 8 Ave. So you can most likely find something to do over in one of those area! Anyway! Good luck!

I never live in NY, but many Chinese don't speak fluent English in CA. try to get into fields which don't require it at the beginning (e.g. IT, dental assistance, radiation tech). you can get into the fields by taking some short training classes (1~2 years). You will still need good English when you want promotion, but it takes time to learn and you'll have time to learn vs working in a supermarket or restaurant for 12 hours everyday.

Restaurant job (I did it when I first came to the US 15 years ago) is good for two reasons: it makes you want to find a better job and it is a quick way to make $$$

作者: sunny94111 時間: 2014-2-18 01:34 AM

If you've time and $$$, try to get a Master degree which will increase your chances to find a better job.

I really think you shouldn't go. In US, you won't be hungry, but if you need to give up something in HK, don't do that. You have a child

作者: 335439311 時間: 2014-2-26 09:48 AM

I don't think language is such a barrier, plus your english isn't that bad either. However I do think it is about opportunity. It really depends on how much you can take and to give for adopting a new environment. However though, I think overall the rages in North America are quite high. Keep in mind though things do cost more here in North America. If you were to go to school you could still work at a restaurant to support your living until you done school, I don't think getting a job is that hard (if you're not asking for a lot). This is what most immigrants / new comers face when they first landed in US/Canada. They might not always get the job / salary they used to have back in their home country. These are things you should consider and be prepared if you were to move to US.

If you are not too sure about what to do yet, why not wait for another year or so? I honestly don't think sending your son to the states at the age of 2 or 5 makes such a difference. Kids sure get use to new place a lot better than adults.

As for living, I don't think $1500 can get you a nice 2 bedrooms in NYC. I don't live in BYC so I'm not 100% sure. However, say for here in Toronto, living in the core of downtown in a 2 bedrooms condo costs over CAD$1600 for a decent one. Therefore I'm assuming it will be more expensive to live in NYC (?!). I'm sure if you are to live in MYC you would want yourself and your family to live in a safe environment (no offense but nyc does feel very unsecured for me..), so I'm not too sure if the $1500 will do the job...

Overall just keep in mind that once you gave up your job / statues in Hong Kong, You may never get them back even if you do decide to go back. The work environment is very competitive in HK. It might be an illusion for me (personally) but I do think younger people in Hong Kong get more opportunities. Anyway good luck to you and give yourself and your family a bit more time to think before having to give up anything!

作者: viper168 時間: 2014-3-16 02:21 AM

US has very high unemployment rate at this time, there will be a big chance you won't find the same management level job you currently have, if you don't speak ok English, it's not easy to find a similar job or level in US at this time. Your son is only 2 years old, why not spend 2 years to improve your English first, and save up some $ to spend for the time while you are unemployed, well prepare, then go? I'm sure pre-school & kinder garden in US is not difficult to catch up at all if you already give some basic education to your son in the coming 2 years. Also you may have to prepare to pay for car, car insurance, maybe obamacare (because you may not able to get health care from gov't for the first 5 year if you are immigrant). Even you may not need to speak good English within Asian area, but it maybe better chance to get a better job if you can speak & write English. Good luck.

唔知你係邊間大學畢業,一般唔出名既大學你就咩都唔洗諗,咩管理層咩咩差差果D,
就似你果地方,如果有個人話係美國某某唔出名既大學,仲要唔出名到係又鄉又鎮果D,
果D既話就人地一樣都係唔會請你做管理,那怕你識都好,
其次就係外國人本身就係唔鍾意亞裔人,特別係中國人,所以呢.....
唯一可行就唐人街,不過唐人街係落魄既開端,唔係話唐人街有咩唔好,就好似塘水滾塘魚既道理,姐係好似D黑人咁,係某個區佢地特別惡,但係就係限果個區咁解
英文要講得好講老實話比搵工仲易,面皮厚D不停講就係了,講講下你D文法口音就會自動更正,無需要擔心
但你按你呢個情況你講,唯一比一句你,無咁大個頭唔好帶咁大頂帽,唔係今年移出去,下年又移番黎,何苦呢
你錢多就另計,但係睇你都係成身讀書,老婆仔債,自己條件都差都咁,仲去移?

You mentioned currently you are middle-manager. Do you have a MBA degree or relevant degree? if yes, then it will increase your chance . HR degree may not be attractive in the big firms.
If not, then depends on what kind of company you are working now. e.g. if you are a middle manager of some supermarket, you can try to apply similar job in the US.
Depends on the company, English skills may not be that critical , but still very important.
Best bet is still find a small local chinese own company to apply.

How is your computer knowledge? I suggest you can learn some data management before you are leaving Hong Kong. I think you can find a job in some Chinese firm but don't expect earn a lot. I guess the annual salary will be around $25 to 30,000. You can go to get a associate degree in the community college when you are settle down in New York. You will earn more later.
Good luck
