移英真係咁難搵工?

英國向來是香港人升學或移民的熱門地之一,隨著英國放寬居留規定,令定居門檻進一步下降,最近移英成為城中熱話。   英國政府推出新簽證「Hong Kong BN(O) Visa」,由2021年1月起,曾經擁有BNO資格的港人,可依此方法申請到英國生活,期間有權工作及讀書,住滿5年後可申請定居身份,再居留多1年,即可申請成為公民。英國外交部估計,5年內將有約20萬人以此途徑移居英國,或成為英國近年最大規模的非歐洲移民之一。   移民要準備的事何其多,選擇定居城市、找尋居所、銀行開戶、找工作、找學校、考車牌,每件事都不是一蹴即就。其中說到找工作,很多人都很灰地說,移英只能做藍領、做水電工人,就算有幸做回老本行,人工都會少一大截。  其實香港作為英國昔日的殖民地,跟英國在文化和資歷架構等多方面都已經比較相似,故此港人在英國有一定優勢,其中服務業是英國經濟最主要的部分,尤其是倫敦是國際金融城市,這點跟香港十分相似,港人只要加強對兩文三語的掌握就不用太擔心。而且港人擁有流利的中文讀寫及口語能力,且認識亞洲文化,有助英國人持續發展亞洲市場;而港人擁有粵語優勢,比只懂普通話的華人更具競爭力。

Wanted: Maths whizzes with an eye for the big picture to join the data revolution

In the past few years we’ve produced more data than in the whole of human history. The volume and dynamic nature of the data is changing not only how we live our lives, but how we do our jobs. Why does this data explosion matter to you? Data can reveal patterns and regularities that allow us to predict anything from what people want to buy, to what creates customer loyalty, where crimes are most likely to occur, to your possible future healthcare needs. All industries can benefit from the potential insights big data can reveal.
