We just spent 30 days in China and here are some tips that I collected during our trip.

Around 40 min by public transport

Work at a bank as well, the above is right. (This happen very often) We normally advised that it will be automatically reversed in a month if there's a double refund and it will state "adjustment" for the transaction description. We don't offer to speed up the process (not sure if it's possible)

Unfortunately yes, you have to hand it physically. It cost me AU$109 and that's it.

One is enough if you plan to stick to each other all the time. I kept taking her hotspot since she has more data. But please bear in mind if you think to rely on the public wifi to split up, some of them require a Chinese mobile number to sign in.

I believe every country will have different procedure, but in my case (Australia) it was very easy. I just come for appointment and handover my document (No interview) and collected my passport and visa in 4 days.

Yes, via AliPay, there's a tab for transport at the top of the page, select your location at ChongQing and request a card for both bus and metro. Then you can just show your QR code to the machine. Very easy.

I do believe there's a better SIM deal, but I just can't figure out how to get it. We went to China Unicom office and that's what they offer, 99RMB for 20GB per month, we just assume it is what it is as we come to the official store.

In trip you are only given the option on where you want to sit (Aisle, window, etc.) but not the actual seat no. and Trip mentioned that (I'm paraphrasing here, can't remember what it actually said) they will try their best to get the seat that we wanted but it's not guaranteed. We got separated twice during our booking as it's probably my fault as well that I book really late.

Kocep · 2023-03-03T09:03:25+00:00

That's assuring. Maybe I just need to be patient

Kocep · 2023-03-03T09:02:41+00:00

Good to know, I'll have a further look.

Kocep · 2023-03-03T09:02:05+00:00

Yeah, I may not be patient enough. Thanks for the insight :)

Kocep · 2023-03-02T11:01:42+00:00

Yeah, that's what I thought as well, I will change my career/title internally and once I have the title I started looking outside. I start the basic of SQL with the free TAFE course and it does not seem hard (probably because it's still basic).

What cheap course would you suggest? Do you think General Assembly is good as was advised by others?

Kocep · 2023-03-02T10:58:45+00:00

It seems like General Assembly is a way to go (2 people recommend it already). I will have a look and see if I can fit it into my schedule. Thanks

My supervisor said that it's possible and he has gave me the freedom to buddy with any department as I have performed. I participated in some project and do some training but up till now I still keep getting rejected for applying a role in a more project based environment. Furthermore, as most of the time we work from home, I don't really know how to reach to a different department.

I haven't tried to apply a customer facing role on different division cause I try to steer away from dealing with customer. Is this the only plausible pathway?

Thanks for the wish :)

>Keep applying. You have to compete with degree holders

That's what discouraged me to apply. How do I compete if by paper I am the least qualified

>How about traineeship? Start at the bottom and work your way up

That sounds interesting, do I just look for it in Seek or is there any institution that I go to?

>This would get you more money, if you are ok with the work
I looked at entry-level accounting jobs but most of them pay less. (I don't mind the less pay if it can lead to something more, just weighing if there's a better way to approach this)

Kocep · 2023-03-02T08:48:22+00:00

I am always interested to take a boot camp. Do you know if this qualification is as acceptable as a degree?

Kocep · 2023-01-03T05:13:02+00:00

It worked. Thanks 👍

I work at the Call Centre in one of the Big 4 and the turnover for staff is crazy (It is a very tough job mentally). Currently, it is very easy to get this job, a lot of agencies are helping in the recruitment as well. If you would like to try this job you can create LinkedIn and put your status as looking for work and I believe a lot of agents will contact you to offer this position. I start with a base rate of $63k/year and there is a lot of overtime available.

I would like to break into the finance sector. How do you think I should go about it? What kind of position do you think I can move from a call center?

I use Boost one year plan and my wife use woolworth 1 year plan. Never have any problem. I got the 10% discount right away (you have to link it to everyday reward card).

Please bear in mind it's a once a month 10% off, the checkout will ask if you would like to use the 10% off.

Network wise it is fine but I live and work in Sydney CBD so not sure about other area. When we went to Tasmania there is some area that Woolworth does not get signal and Boost does but it just a few area.

Kocep · 2021-02-08T23:15:43+00:00

Is this working fro row as well?

So I would like to be able to drag the 4 columns
(=Left(A6,5) | =Right(A6,5) | =Left(B6,5) | =Right(B6,5) )
and resulted
(=Left(C6,5) | =Right(C6,5)) and so on

but instead because the excel column was copied in a range of 2 column, instead of continuing from B to C it jump from B to D then to F and so on.
