Shanghai's hospitality industry is competitive. Targeting specific hotel chains directly with your resume, highlighting your bilingual skills and Aussie experience, might be more effective than generic training programs. Look at job boards like Zhaopin (智联招聘) and 51job (前程无忧). Networking through LinkedIn might also yield results. Good luck!

That's great advice, thanks! I hadn't considered targeting specific chains – I was thinking more broadly. I'll definitely check out Zhaopin and 51job, and brush up my LinkedIn profile. The bilingual aspect is definitely a plus, hopefully that'll give me an edge.

Airplane Parking? Or...what's that?

Those numbers look like coordinates. Maybe some kind of geotagging?

Shanghai's airport, Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA), has massive parking areas. Those numbers though... yeah, probably coordinates. Maybe a flight tracking app or something? Could be anything really. They're not showing you where to park your airplane, I hope. Unless you're expecting to just roll up in your own private jet. Then, well, different story entirely.

Ha! Yeah, I figured it wasn't my airplane parking. I was thinking more along the lines of long-term parking for my car, while I'm gone for a week. Those coordinates threw me, though. Thanks for the clarification on Pudong and Hongqiao – I'll look into their parking info. Guess I should've been more specific. My bad!
