Getting a job with a Hong Kong Working Holiday Visa

Hello. I am currently living in Hong Kong having moved here 2-3 weeks ago. I am staying on a Working Holiday visa. Thankfully, I have rented an apartment on airbnb for more than 1 month, so I only need to worry about getting a job for now.

Basically, the Working Holiday Visa in Hong Kong allows one to live and work in Hong Kong for 1 year. Though, one can only work at any one job for 3 months, but can have many jobs as long as the aforementioned condition is not violated. I have trained to be a web developer (potentially full stack) and a Linux / database administrator. So, I would like to get a job in the I.T. industry. I have looked online in various job posting sites like jobsdb.com, and there are literally thousands of I.T. job postings.

So, anyway, my questions are about how to market myself.

I know some employers may be apprehensive about hiring someone for only 3 months, but also I think many would consider it. I wouldn't want to sabotage my chances of getting a job, or have HR people immediately get rid of any application and resume I might submit.

1. When applying for jobs, should I tell them from the beginning that I am interested in the job, but that I could only work at it for 3 months, or tell them about my 3 month limit if I get an interview?

2. As for what I mentioned before, do you have any tips on how to market myself to get an I.T. job in Hong Kong for 3 months?

3. I now have a Hong Kong identity card. Is it correct that I need to mention in the beginning correspondence with any employer that I have an HK identity card, or only tell them if they ask?

4. I am nearly finished with a full stack certification for web development, but don't have professional experience yet. I have just made my own sites and helped others with theirs. I have a tech blog which I have run for more than 1 year devoted to web development, and I have a github page where I have put some of my projects. I know that getting into a job without prior professional experience can be quite difficult. So, could you give advice about how I could market myself with these conditions?

5. I can read a bit of Chinese (I studied Mandarin), but I can't speak Cantonese. Due to not being able to speak Cantonese, do you think I should still apply to jobs that interest me, but which say that both English and Cantonese fluency are requirements?

6. Finally, how long, on average, do you think the process of actually landing a job after applying for one here in Hong Kong?

Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi
1. Absolutely. They will need to check your visa when they hire you anyway
2. Network, network, network. HK is not shot of social events organised by start-ups and sponsors.
3. Everybody with a working visa (other than short term training) has a HKID, so no need to mention that.
4. See 2.
5. It is worth trying but be aware that most IT shops here are Cantonese speaking. Also having no Chinese culture or knowledge of local web design may be an issue. Of course I'll assume that you know i18n.
6. It is quite variable but can be surprisingly fast sometimes
