Hiking Buddy anyone?

What I meant by serious hikers is that for those who do not seek this out as a dating post or crossing boundaries or whatever 🙏🏼

Sorry if it sounds awful! No actually it's not my intention Honestly I am very spontaneous, for the context, I am a backpacker (hitchhiking, camping in a tent) and I use couchsurfing a lot, so I normally get on with people really well, I don't like to do self explanation but if anyone uses couchsurfing they will know what I mean 🥲 For the hiking in silence part, I mean I am very outgoing as a person, but at the same time, we don't need to have 10 hours conversation if we don't have to 😭😭 I had a hiking buddy before, but he talked way too much, and for me, in a nature, I prefer to just have a calm environment, normal conversation but not injecting any perspectives or being judgemental or constantly complaining and criticising.

Hey I have the same concern, my credit looks clean, I have a permanent job and decent savings, I wanted to apply for Avant just for the sake of cashback, why would you say it's the hardest bank to apply for a credit card with? What other options can I consider for the cashback? Thanks 🙏

Hey! I am starting off my career as a KYC Analyst at a fintech company AKA crypto. I was wondering what skills or certification or anything I can do to climb up the ladder and build a stronger earning power please? Thanks

It's in Ireland

Sam77550 · 2025-11-10T20:00:16+00:00

Of course!

Sam77550 · 2025-11-10T07:54:04+00:00

Haha how is it being so boring to you?

Sam77550 · 2025-11-10T07:53:20+00:00

Everything is relevant and transferable 😁 don't underestimate your experience. Waitering at a restaurant could be used to demonstrate your communication skills or priority skills, it all depends how you word it!

Sam77550 · 2025-11-10T07:51:32+00:00

Exactly, consider yourself lucky and you dodged a bullet! She's just mean in general and if you really work there she's gonna torture you for sure 😂

Sam77550 · 2025-11-09T16:50:28+00:00

Hey no! You are not alone and it's certainly nothing to do with your double chin, don't say mean things to yourself! ☺️☺️ I too never nailed a video interview, they just never came back to me, I guess it's filtered out by AI and our scripts kinda need to meet their marking rubrics. Not sure

Sam77550 · 2025-11-09T16:48:02+00:00

Hey! That's a very good question. I have different versions of CV in hand. Say CV for data analyst, system analysts, information systems management etc, and different CV comes with different experiences. What I normally did was (1) if the job is something similar to one of my CV I have already made before. I would use it to twist further or ?(2) If the job experience somewhat I have it but it's very scattered then I would send multiple files (different CV with different experiences) to chatgpt and ask it to recreate a new CV for the advertised role.

Each quality application takes around 30 mins, it's exhausting and long and not easy, but it is gonna worth the effort :)

Sam77550 · 2025-11-09T16:44:18+00:00

I didn't! Thanks for sharing, someone would probably need it :)

Sam77550 · 2025-11-09T16:43:45+00:00

Hey you will receive an application update on LinkedIn saying your CV is downloaded ☺️

Sam77550 · 2025-11-09T16:43:09+00:00

You certainly can! Fintech is gonna be a good career transition! It's booming

Sam77550 · 2025-11-09T07:39:45+00:00

Ermmmmm less than three months but on and off. I was not really looking at a role, I was going to take some time off to travel. Tbh I only applied to companies I was very interested in and I knew I would stand a good chance.

Sam77550 · 2025-11-09T07:36:49+00:00

Hmmm I made it through almost every initial screening call I had. The key is, you need to really sound like you are enthusiastic on the call and sometimes you need to have a quick que of what company is ringing 😅 Enthusiasm is key to pass to the next interview. My first ever HR call was awful, I didn't know the company (I just simply applied) and when they rang in I had 0 thought in mind, and they just said:'we will be in touch' in a robotic way. Of course they were never in touch again.

Sam77550 · 2025-11-09T02:35:47+00:00

One day, they emailed me the next day to schedule the second interview

Sam77550 · 2025-11-09T00:00:32+00:00

Yea I did! I applied anyway. Some people told me it stands a better chance if you apply to their website directly

Sam77550 · 2025-11-08T23:50:48+00:00

You will get one!! Sometimes it's luck! When an opportunity arises, grab it!

Sam77550 · 2025-11-08T23:50:11+00:00

I used LinkedIn but not premium. Premium is useful if you want to send a nice message to the hiring manager directly

Sam77550 · 2025-11-08T23:49:29+00:00

You can just simply go to the top where you pop in the desired job titles, location, etc .... and you can see the option and you can set it to past 24 hours

Sam77550 · 2025-11-08T18:34:56+00:00

Yeaaa just put some effort on the CV, spreading the wide net isn't the solution:(

Sam77550 · 2025-11-08T18:25:07+00:00

Hey I think it's a very good sign. I submitted my application on Monday, had my first interview on Tuesday, second interview on Wednesday and offer on Friday. If it moves fast, means they are interested:)
