It's been weeks now since I left my job. Right now, I'm trying to settle down and start looking for jobs. I recently updated my LinkedIn and Jobstreet accounts and I also made an account in Kalibrr. So far, there's a company who invited me to apply. I was quite hesitant to accept first because of the location which isn't exactly far, but it was a bit inconvenient to go there. It's in BGC which is a good area but it is a bit in the higher class o most people there have their own vehicles. Though there are public transpo, it's not as easy to go to as compared to places like Ayala, Makati. Once I saw the salary range of their offer, I figured that it was alright to risk commuting there every day. However, my main problem now is the work schedule. It seems that the job is almost a customer service type, though not necessarily a call center. It caters to the US market so that means it's going to be another shifting schedule. I promised myself to look for a job that offers regular working hours, but alas, it seems to haunt me. I started googling the company but couldn't find any juicy details about the company aside from some press releases praising the company which seems to good to be true. I did find some current employees over Facebook and Twitter. All of them seem to be in very irregular working hours and that is already turning me off. I'm not new to the night shift, but their night shift seems to be very different than the ones I had before. I think some of them have work that starts at 3 am and that is not really in my favor if I get assigned to that shift. This is all just me overthinking. I did accept the invitation to apply, but it is still waiting for their review. I'm not even sure if they'll contact me for an exam/interview. Their ad states that they have 50 job openings so I might just be someone they can look past at. As for the job itself, it seems like a downgrade from my previous job, but I don't have the right to be choosy at this time. All the employees I've found on social media seems to be praising the company so I hope it's a good sign.

For the meantime, I'm going to save jobs to apply to later if this one doesn't come into fruition. I also have an upcoming mountain hike on the weekend so that will keep me busy for a while.
