1. I'm waiting on their reply for the retest. I don't think a lot of people failed the Chinese written because for some odd reasons no one came out to get us and bring us to the examination hall... There were me and this other guy that waited outside. I called the recruiting team and they've told me to send an email and I'll need someone higher up to approve to be scheduled again for the exam. I've spent the last year exercising, losing weight, getting laser treatments to get rid of my tattoos, studying etc and frankly I'm mentally exhausted. I can practice all I want but I might not reach the level of Chinese proficiency they are looking for. Going for so long and putting all this effort that might be fruitless is quite exhausting. That's why I'm looking into a backup plan and thinking of finding work while I wait.
2. Thanks I have been looking at these listings and I'll start applying once my CRE results are back. They should be sent to us before July 9th.
I'm actually already in Hong Kong. I decide to visit after graduating last year. Been focus on the probationary inspector role preparation for a year now. Now that I'm fully vaccinated along with the wait time for the police inspector role, I think it's good to look at other options.
