Local – face-to-face interviews are possible. Familiar with Hong Kong culture and local work experience, you may not need to spend too much time training domestic helpers. Overseas – they are more open to change and accept the challenge of a new environment. And they may have worked in families in Taiwan and the Middle East, where they needed longer hours and fewer vacations. Also, helpers spend a lot of money in agency/training centers in their home countries, and they tend to face more pressure to work harder to do new jobs.
