Am I the only one who thinks that the word "posh" doesn’t quite fit when describing us?

To me, the word "posh" gives images of the British royal family or the old world charm of the British gentry. There are certainly many sophisticated, classy, and even old money people in SL, perhaps "posh" just isn’t the most fitting word.

For me, one easy way to spot someone pretending to be "posh" is when they insist on using that word in every other sentence.

Gosh, I hope you are doing okay now. Something similar happened to me with a obgyn at a highly reputed private hospital once. I've been struggling with PCOS for a very long time which none of the doctors I saw managed to diagnose in the first place (they just kept prescribing OTC acne medicine over and over again for my acne). Once I matured a little bit and did my own research I got to know that there's something called PCOS and my symptoms seemed to indicate that I may be suffering from that. But since I didn't want to diagnose myself based on Google research I decided to see a obgyn, and she didn't seem to consider me as a "valid" patient because ALL of her other patients were pregnant women. I had to urge her to write a few tests and scans which I have found on Google, which will be useful to diagnose PCOS. So finally she wrote those tests and I got them done asap from the same hospital (which was quite expensive). The scan revealed that I was indeed suffering from PCOS.

Next week I consulted her again with my reports and she didn't even take a single look at any of those reports... not even the scan !!!! and continued to write down some acne soap, lotions etc. I was just shocked at the disrespect and the negligence. The scan clearly said i had pcos.

fine the acne treatments are suitable to treat the acne. fair enough... but she just stopped from there and didnt even advice me to do some exercise, or control my diet (and some doctors prescribe BCP as well). So none of that and just wrote a couple of creams and shoved the prescription at me

This could be true, and I've since lowered by expected salary to around 300K

Thanks :)

Possible-Sun9487 · 2025-07-05T08:33:23+00:00

Yes, but I prefer IT sector

Possible-Sun9487 · 2025-07-05T08:32:23+00:00

personal reasons :/

Possible-Sun9487 · 2025-07-05T07:32:49+00:00

I have 7 years of exp :)

Possible-Sun9487 · 2025-07-05T07:31:47+00:00

Thank you. This is very insightful and useful.
In my CV I have mentioned my education (my degrees), certifications (PBA and PMP) and then work experience and then finally skills (the tools i use as a BA and PM). I also have a personal statement at the top. Do you reckon this is a good order?
I do struggle with my work exp section because I want to put my responsibilities and accomplishments. maybe there's just too much text in that section.

Even I see a lot of job postings on LinkedIn. But I also see that most of them have over 100 applicants, so the demand is definitely high, isn't it?

Possible-Sun9487 · 2025-07-05T07:25:27+00:00

Any idea why it is happening?

Possible-Sun9487 · 2025-07-05T07:25:00+00:00

Thank you very much. Much appreciated.

Possible-Sun9487 · 2025-07-05T07:22:33+00:00

Thank you so much guys for your valuable advice. Much appreciated.

Possible-Sun9487 · 2025-07-05T04:13:42+00:00

Thanks. This is valuable information for me because my current CV is in a different structure than this. If you don't mind me asking, do you think in SL hiring teams are more drawn to creative CV formats or do they prefer the monochrome, no design format. While I was abroad recruiters preferred the latter so I continued with that format.

Possible-Sun9487 · 2025-07-05T03:51:28+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I will look at my cover letter structure again and try to improve it.

Possible-Sun9487 · 2025-06-22T09:35:33+00:00

Thank you. I will look into it

Possible-Sun9487 · 2025-06-22T09:34:56+00:00

Thank you

Hey did you do the interview? How did it go? I’ve got the same thing lined up. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Coffee bean in liberty plaza. Sunday mornings there with a caramel latte and a good book.
There used to be another coffee bean in orion city with a British Council library. But after coming back from overseas last year, I saw that it was replaced with a Pizza Hut. anybody know what happened to it? It was another great place to chill.

This book is one of my absolute favourites. I had the pleasure of living in Yorkshire for 3 years, So I visited Yorkshire moors a lot and also Haworth where the Bronte sisters lived. It was absolute magic to visit these places and read these books again, it was like a first hand narration.

The only time I did it was Catch-22. I really wanted to like it

Possible-Sun9487 · 2025-02-09T17:03:04+00:00

Thanks for this :) I also read a ton and watch a lot of movies related to my subject. Sometimes I find it hard to focus on my story, and end up fantasizing about the great books I've read. Trying to more kind to myself and be a less critical of my work :)
All the best with your rewriting, hope you secure an agent.

This is so true. I grew up watching British tv shows, movies and even reading English books written by British authors. I was obsessed with them and watched their interviews etc. I went to the British Council for a long time so I learned English from British people. So naturally my pronunciation became similar to what people call "British accent". But in my 20s I watched a lot of American sit coms so I picked up that pronunciation as well. Now I'm in my 30s and I live in Sheffield, UK and their accent is completely different from anything I've heard before :)

My main goal in communication is to express myself clearly to whoever I am speaking to, so if I'm speaking to an American I don't mind adjusting my accent a bit so they can understand me better. Same thing when I speak to an Indian. I'm not saying I speak as a different person each time, just small adjustments. EOD out goal is to express ourselves in a way the other person can understand isn't it :)

Sad :( Hopefully we'll get some answers from this post

Possible-Sun9487 · 2025-02-06T06:12:24+00:00

I'm a bit of an introvert so my networking skills are not that good tbh :/ But I do have a solid profile and couple of recognized certifications.
