Im just about to graduate with a BA in a humanities subject (philosophy, drama, art etc), at a 2:1 or a 1:1, i dont really have any knowledge of cantonese but would like to gain employment in hk as an expat. Will this be difficult ? Can anyone direct me to a job finder service for graduates ? Any tips ?

It all depends what sort of job you're looking for. Teaching jobs can be a good point of entry, as most people want native speakers, but for everything else you will be competing with local graduates who speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin. The government has created very strong incentives to employ locals rather than foreign graduates, so unless you degree is in something not offered here, it might be tricky to find a job in your branch.
