Even if there were, many positions required 3-5 years of full-time working experience, which was like a thunderbolt for him as a fresh graduate.<\/p>\n<p>According to data from the Hong Kong government&#8217;s Census and Statistics Department, after the pandemic, the overall trend for job vacancy rate in Hong Kong was rising at the epidemic. However, the tightening of job vacancies in the field of journalism is still evident. At the annual Hong Kong International Talent Carnival, out of a total of 162 exhibiting companies and enterprises, only 5 were related to media, with only two being news organizations, namely Ta Kung Pao and Phoenix TV.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-chart\" data-src=\"visualisation\/20580704\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><noscript>< img src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/visualisation\/20580704\/thumbnail\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"chart visualization\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Jiang\u00a0aims to enter foreign media, but many foreign media companies have had no job openings for a long time unless someone resigns. Jiang said that foreign media rarely publicly advertise job openings and what he can do is pay attention to\u00a0Talent, which\u00a0regularly sends emails about personnel changes and job vacancies in media organizations, and asks industry seniors if there are any referral opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>From the information\u00a0Jiang\u00a0has gathered, it seems that\u00a0limited foreign media offer internship-to-full-time conversion opportunities. NBC is one of them. However, he said NBC&#8217;s internship opportunities are prioritized\u00a0for\u00a0Journalism\u00a0students from the University of Hong Kong. &#8220;Many internship opportunities are not transparent\u00a0to the public,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He met some reporters and editors from NBC News Asian Desk at a Foreign Correspondents&#8217; Club event. The editor declined his request to enter the fellowship program but reassured him not\u00a0to be upset and said if he was interested, he could be recommended as an intern the following year.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Li mentioned that although some local Hong Kong newspapers post job vacancies on recruitment websites, the chances of getting a response through \u201cblind applications\u201d are quite low. Having some \u201cconnections\u201d for referrals can make it easier to reach out to human resources.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;off&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_fullwidth_header title=&#8221;Language barriers:&#8221; subhead=&#8221;&#8216;Media is ragional'&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; header_fullscreen=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_font=&#8221;Roboto|500|||||||&#8221; title_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; title_letter_spacing=&#8221;1px&#8221; title_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; subhead_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; subhead_letter_spacing=&#8221;1px&#8221; subhead_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/jmsc6110a.com\/2025a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DSC01599-scaled.jpg&#8221; parallax=&#8221;on&#8221; title_text_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; subhead_text_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_fullwidth_header][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;off&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]When it comes to entering the Hong Kong\u2019s local\u00a0media industry, Jiang\u00a0believes that being proficient in Cantonese is crucial.
