also, just a random thought, but do you think PLAVE members will change their hair color/style with new comebacks? that'll be so cool if they did

hello all!

i am finally back from my hiatus! i was finishing up with my last few courses and can announce that i am now completely finished with university! 😭(those are happy tears) just popping in to let you guys know and that I'll be more active (as I am still trying to figure out what I want to do in life and with my degree LOL)

I've been getting a lot of requests (peulddongie/pllis i see you 👀) and do apologize for everyone who has been waiting for I will get to them as soon as possible!

omg…

I just logged back in to my account and for some odd reason all my requests in my ask box disappeared,,,

I don’t remember what the requests were but please send in your requests again!

All I remember was that it was PLAVE related 😅

I did an interview yesterday with a company that really interested me but I realized how many applicants also applied and how I am probably competing against other candidates with more advanced qualifications than I am. I was told at the end of my interview that they will be choosing one candidate this Friday so if I don't hear a call back by then, that means I was not chosen.

I decided to leave it to faith. Of course it would be an awesome opportunity working for this company but I don't want to keep my expectations too high, for it to be possibly broken. I woke up this morning, preparing for breakfast when I got a text from the HR, saying they wanted to follow up after yesterday's interview and I was confused since I remember hearing that there will be no follow ups.

They called me and announced that I got the job offer! It caught me off guard since I really wasn't expecting any, knowing that there were over 1.3k applicants but here I am! I was so worried that I wouldn't be getting a job anytime soon because I've been applying to everything and everywhere hearing no response from them.

Very excited and nervous about talking on a new position and my first full time job. Hoping everything goes well from here on!

p.s I ended up rejecting the job offer from the previous employer, knowing that it'll probably ruin my reputation in his perspective but now that I look back on it, I wouldn't want to work in that kind of atmosphere.

job hunting is hard… applied to more than 20+ jobs and now the struggle is waiting for a potential interview…

thoughts in my head recently:

do I really like this character or is it because Uchiyama Kouki voices it 🤔

I swear he’s in the cast of 80% of the anime I watch and it so happens that the characters I end up liking he voices so…

tell me I’m not the only one feeling this way 🤣

someone tell me why I have to take a coding and statistics course when my actual field of study has no relation to it??

I am in so much confusion in using R studio,,

job hunting update: did an interview today for a startup business and everything went well. Did tell him that I’m my earliest start date will be end of August to beginning of September because of personal matter but will keep him updated on mid-August. Got home and got the offer which was great but he suddenly asked for my full confirmation for the job? I haven’t even settled in with all the duties of the job and have an upcoming interview with a company that I really want to work for. Told him that I will accept the job offer as of now and will reconfirm with him mid-August. Apparently he wasn’t happy with my reply and called me unprofessional for also not providing a reason (when I clearly did; personal matter) and wanted a clear answer.

I can understand how my ambiguity in my response is unprofessional but from what I recall, an employer never really expected an answer from me, especially right after an interview within 24 hours. I felt really pressure on what to say and so what ended up happening was that I accepted the job offer, confirming that my personal matter will be resolved before the start date. But now looking back at the whole picture. I think there were multiple red flags shown. He lack of interest on knowing me personally aside from my work experience, and his urgency and demand in my reply.

At first I was excited being a part of a new business with potential growth and all but after realizing the signs and thinking about how the work environment will be like, I no longer have interest in this job that I have already accepted. I know this is a horrible decision of mine and can greatly ruin my reputation but I’m thinking of decline the offer because my vision of this company contrasts what is shown. But i don’t know, what should I do? I am certain that I’ll probably be getting some backlash if i backdown now. I’m so conflicted right now. Feeling a mixture of emotions between hurt and discomfort.
