HKYAA was always there for me if I wanted advice at any stage of the contract and it was nice to have that support. For anyone who is considering working with HKYAA it is not a difficult decision-they are there to help at every stage of your employment. My name is Joanne Asker and I have had the good fortune to be associated with HKYAA in a work capacity at the wonderful school of Good Hope in Choi Hung, Kowloon. Prior to this I had my own business in New York but moved to Hong Kong and took the ESL course before I left. With my experience in various types of acting and working with children, HKYAA recommended me for the teaching position in the well-respected all-girl school, Good Hope and assisted me at the interview. In addition, I was invited to various events that were held by HKYAA as if I were part of a big, warm family!
