Search Hong Kong Fair

On January 17-19th ,  Senior Associate and fair host Xiaohang Sumner welcomed 150 candidates and recruiters from 45 schools for the annual Hong Kong Job Fair. The Chinese International School, seated on a hill overlooking the beautiful Hong Kong Harbor, was a convenient venue for interviews, meetings, and sign-ups.

Search Hong Kong Fair is renowned for featuring the largest selection of Asian schools, particularly those from Hong Kong and mainland China. Furthermore, all of the candidates who attend are committed to working in these regions.

Candidate Michael Lattimore shared his experience:

I attended the Hong Kong Job Fair and took the advice about being open-minded. This led to me speaking to a school that was a really great match in terms of personality and to a location that really fits what I am looking for. Job searching can be a really stressful process, but Search Associates made the whole process easy and somewhat enjoyable! So, thank you so much!

Former Hong Kong Fair hosts, Senior Associate Dr. Barry Drake and his wife Veronica, along with a team of volunteers from international schools in Hong Kong, were there to support all attendees. Fair sponsor Renaissance Workplace Benefits held two workshops, one for recruiters and one for candidates.

Search Associates wishes health and peace to Hong Kong and China in this new year.
