I TRIED SEATED FOR A DAY (and how it works): Dining In & Ordering Delivery in NYC… I made $30!

cwong0102Leave a comment

I’ve tried the dining and restaurant rewards app Seated for about 4 months now, and I can’t believe I haven’t been on it earlier! I can get money back from eating at restaurants or by ordering food for pickup or delivery, so I wanted to show everyone the process so you can learn how it works too. Especially when in New York City, there’s so many options near me, why wouldn’t I take advantage of it? This is not a sponsored video, but I wish it was because it’s such a cool app!

I try Seated for a whole day to show you the process when it comes to exploring and finding places to eat, the booking or ordering process, the receipt validation process, and even redeeming for rewards. It is all so easy, and you can do this too!

Use my referral link so you can get $50, and I will get $50 after your first meal! It’s a win-win! Get your $50 now:

ASK ME ANYTHING about Technology Consulting, Cats, Myself: I take you to California!

I asked my Instagram audience for questions, and I answered it all in this video! It would mostly answer your questions about technology consulting, cats, or myself. I actually originally filmed this video at home, but when I was editing, I realized it didn’t record audio, so I decided to just film it on the go during my California trip so it would be a little more fun!

Do you still have any questions left? Make sure to follow me on Instagram to join the next Q&A or comment down below and I will answer!

WHAT would you do as a TECHNOLOGY CONSULTANT

cwong0102Leave a comment

I often get the questions on what exactly do technology consultants do on a day to day basis, and while that is a very difficult question to answer, and if you ask any consultant, they’re going to say “it depends.” I remember being a college student getting that same answer in all my informational interviews, but now that I’m actually IN the field, I have a clear image of what is out there and finally found a way to break it all down in a digestible format for you!

In this video, I go over the type of work and the type of projects you may expect as a technology consultant. As I only do software implementations, I’ve also asked other technology consultants and their experiences, so this should be a pretty comprehensive video on what kind of work you can expect to do!
