US companies in Taiwan

Hello, I'm an Asian who also has TW citizenship, but since my Chinese is limited, I was told to look for jobs at US companies here. May I know where/how I can find those jobs please? FYI, I majored in Accounting in the US; I haven't done any internships before but have other work experience.

Using a US-style CV should be fine, right? Is there anything to be careful of during interviews and after getting a job here? How is the work culture like and is English the main language used in meetings, documents, etc.? Much thanks for your help and guidance.

Good/decent psychologists to help deflate an overinflated ego?

As the title says. Any good/decent English-speaking psychologists in New Taipei and Taipei areas that are priced reasonably please? Preferably one who is well-versed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Any online or international recommendations are fine too, thank you.

Best way to learn, memorize vocab & know when/how to use it irl

I've read some people saying they learn vocab a lot (separately) but they can't match up the words and their definitions when the time comes. How to get over this hurdle please and get my studying method right/efficient?

Also, it's hard for me since I'm a heritage chinese. I'm like a half-baked fish. My listening and speaking is more advanced > reading > writing. Plus whenever I listen to even one beginner podcasts, many (old and new) words appear; most I know the pronunciation & their meaning (though I don't remember the correct tones) but can't recognize and write them if I see them. I add all those (old & new) words to Anki but I hardly ever get to reviewing (regularly). Even if i do review, I'm just trying to recognize them and remember their pronunciation and meaning while I learn TOCFL vocabs separately.

I feel like I'm doing this whole thing wrong, but don't know what I'm off and how to change it. If anyone knows please help me out. Thanks.

Making extra money

I'm looking to make some extra money but I don't have enough time to do a part time job. I have like 1-2 hours each day and my chinese is limited too. I thought of collecting recyclables like some elders but I don't know the details.

- Do I need to get a cart like them and where can i get the cart please? Is it ok to just leave it near where I live?

- Do I go in and out one store to another to collect recyclables? Will the elders be dissatisfied if I uh.. cross their territory? (But I still have to do it)

- How and where do I sell them? Approximately how much do they make, like I know they can't make much, but I'd love to have a small idea of it?

If there are other types of work I can do, please let me know too. Can be physical labor too as long as it's not too physically demanding like lifting heavy stuff.

I would like to do some volunteer work for a few hours like once per week too (if i have the time and energy). Is there anywhere I can help around, preferably in Yonghe, Zhonghe and Xindian districts; or in Zhongzheng, Wanhua, Daan, Xinyi districts? Thanks. Edited post

Hi! So it seems the first 2 apps listed are the most recommended, popular apps. Is there anyone who has tried/used these 3 apps? I have only tried the ChineseSkill app since I was looking for a traditional Chinese teaching app. I'd love opinions on the other differences between these 3 apps please, such as:

- availability of free resources

- value for money

- differences in teaching/stuff included, if any

- most advanced levels they have

Etc.

Are any of them worth paying for to start from beginner and to reach intermediate to advanced levels, whether you're studying at home and/or attending a Chinese school too? Thanks!
