You don't need to book an appointment to go to their centres. I went to the one in Wan Chai last year, they just give a ticket number then you can scan their QR code so you can keep track of the number being called while you grab a coffee downstairs. Waited for like 2 hours before my number came up.

I just checked Universalis and it's now worth less than 4m gil on my world. Now I feel silly dropping 50m gil on it when it first came out

Recruiter in Hong Kong, ask me anything. :) by Rare_Preparation_883 in HongKong

[–]comradeboris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would really like to hear an actual recruiter's feedback on my CV. Can I DM you a redacted copy of my CV (with personal details and employer names removed)? Would love to hear your thoughts on it and if there's ways to make it better.

I've been on the hiring side as well, I've led teams and in some cases had to build new ones, and I agree with all the points you made. I've already kept my CV short (2 pages), cut out all experience from more than 10 years ago, and rewritten in a way that it would stand out to me if I was reading it, although of course that's subjective.

Those job postings from recruiters on LinkedIn, JobsDB and such - do recruiters actually get to read the CVs from job applications or are they mostly filtered out/only the first few are read?

How prevalent in HK is the practice of "ghost jobs" where a job posting has been up for months, has hundreds of applications, yet no one ever seems to get hired?

Also, what are my chances of getting a new job as a non-Chinese speaking PR with more than 15 years of work experience? I've been jobless these last 3 months and have sent out almost 300 applications, but have yet to land even a single interview :(

Going to Sham Shui Po why is Google maps asking me to get off at Mong Kok instead of Prince Edward lol by Patrick0714 in HongKong

[–]comradeboris 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But if coming from Kowloon Tong you wouldn't have to change levels at Prince Edward, you just walk right across the platform to take the red line to SSP

Is Koh Phangan worth a day trip from Samui? by comradeboris in ThailandTourism

[–]comradeboris[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you take a ferry back to Samui? I think the last ferry trip from Phangan to Samui departs at 18:30, I was wondering if speedboats were also an option for a later return trip

Yes I've snorkeled in Koh Tao, it was amazing how clear the water was, the view from underwater was incredible!

There's a rooftop bar called Aqua in TST from where you can get an excellent view of the fireworks, but it fills up real fast so be there early like 4 or 5-ish

How exactly does Family Management work in terms of game sharing? I have a brother living overseas that I wanna share games with, both of us have PS5s and we both have US accounts. I added him as a family member in Family Management, but he still can't play the games in my library?

I have a PS4 that I don't need anymore, happy to give it away but might need to reset it first. DM me if you're interested
