FAQ

Due to the political uncertainty in Hong Kong, I decided to relocate to the UK and find a permanent job.
Based on the BNO 5+1 scheme (After I’ve lived in the UK for 5 years, I can apply to live in the UK permanently), I will not return to Hong Kong in a short period of time except for occasional trips to visit my friends and family there. I have recently been to Hong Kong to visit my family, however do not plan to move back.

Yes. I am currently living in St. Leonards-on-sea, East Sussex.
I am now working in Drallim Industries Limited (Millwood House, Drury Ln, Saint Leonards-on-sea TN38 9BA). It is a local engineering company.
I hold a UK driving license so I can drive to work or to carry out job duties.

I can speak fluent English, and you can see my level of written English in this website.
I am fluent in both spoken and written Mandarin. I am also a native Cantonese speaker.
I am a beginner in spoken and written Japanese.

I am a team player and can collaborate with support staff at all levels.

In Drallim Industries Limited, I managed to keep close connections with other departments of the office to carry out marketing and sales plans. I also had solid relationship with teammates and customers from different regions such as Korea, China, Japan and Thailand of an international diving equipment brand, SCUBAPRO.

I am self-motivated and can work on my own. I worked in Society of Registered Financial Planners (2015-2018), which is a non-governmental organization for promoting professionalism in financial planning. The organization has only one small office staffed with just 2 people, and I was the only full-time staff member there. I was the Administrative Officer of the Society and I managed all the matters in the office, including administrative issues, responses to external bodies, secretarial matters, marketing and design works, public relationship management, event organisation and IT support in the office.

I love drawing, reading and learning new things. I am now learning Japanese, which will help me to improve cultural awareness and increase my adaptability. I am also learning Blender and Python.
In Hong Kong, I volunteered for Hong Kong Dog Rescue(HKDR) between 2015 and 2021. HKDR was founded in 2003 for the specific purpose of saving dogs and puppies from the Hong Kong Government’s Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) Animal Management Centres.
