I completed my MA in English literature at a prestigious university in Hong Kong, and with a PGDE majoring in English on hand, I should be qualified to teach English in local secondary schools. Nevertheless, from May to October 2013, I have been sending out 100 more applications for teaching posts (CM and GM), I hear none of them back. I felt like I was a fool to leave my previous work as a teacher in order to pursue my MA study...in fact, now that I am unable to find a full-time teaching post, I can only rely on doing part-time tutoring, which is sad. I have no other specific skills for the commercial field except teaching english and literature. Nevertheless, as it seems that I will never be able to go back to the full time teaching world, I consider that I should change field and start low, so I have been looking for lowly paid, jobs that require little or no experiences. What else can I do? I am nearly losing all my savings as I continue to be unemployed, and I am not able to further study again when I have no money. Will I be able to start anew again in other fields besides teaching? Is there still hope for me to begin a new career track despite my mistake in choosing a not-so-useful master course in HK? What frustrates me the most is that when I was interviewed by those in commercial fields, I was being rejected merely because I was told that I did not have related working experience. I think it is very tough for an English teacher (who is a Hongkonger non-native speaker) to find another field of work. I desperately need good advice, in times of the lack of money and hopes!
