Hong Kong can be considered one of the countries with good online recourses for searching for an English language teacher job. Many positions are available through different online job boards which list the teaching positions by country, and Hong Kong official governmental site as well. The point is to find the best variant of job in a short period of time. Ask your school or TEFL certification program for job hunting assistance.

One of the main drawbacks when you choose to teach English in Hong Kong is the fact that it may be difficult to find affordable housing. Rent is quite problematic and not cheap. But a search can be quite beneficial. You can share for example a 50 x 20 ft boat with your partner or friend paying $1,000 per month. Shared apartments closer to downtown cost about $500-$700.

In many countries, the school that hires you will supply you with free teacher's housing; however, in Hong Kong this is not necessarily the case. Luckily, most teaching jobs in Hong Kong do include a "housing allowance" along with your regular paycheck, which is designed to help cover rent.

And the recourses that will help you are quite plentiful. Explore the web sites of Hong Kong which offer housing services for an idea of price ranges and areas available to you. When you are employed, your school should make some kind of arrangements in order to help you.  This online resource is a gem for finding everything from apartments to pubs to helpful advice: hongkong.asiaxpat.com.

If you are strongly determined to teach English in Hong Kong, you should be ready to meet completely new culture and new experience. If you can spend long periods of time far from your country, if you are adventurous person and adaptive to new surroundings, it will help make the experience a pleasurable and enlightening one.
