May personal book cover design pet peeve ka ba? Ano yon at bakit?

mine is this. i loooove martyr as a book (and the cover alone itself) but this sectioning on the side of the cover pisses me off big time. this is also the placement on other books and I don't get why it has become a thing

also when I see books with the same placement of a quote from a new york times review, nasasayangan ako kasi kumbaga it ruins the beauty of the cover for me rather than just blending in like other book cover designs do. it's like we're being robbed of seeing a book cover's true beauty just because may nakasingit na ganyan 😞

kayo, anong book cover design pet peeves niyo?

To HRs, for you, what would somehow mitigate, if not resolve, the "matumal" job market rn (PH context)?

What do you think is the best measure to address the rising unemployment rate in the PH? ? Do you think it will take long before we can achieve less worries about unemployment?

I posted on this sub because I think HR ang pinakahasa sa gantong usapin haha curious lang ako (as someone na ilang buwan na pero unemployed pa rin)

Totoo bang AI-generated yung illustrations sa loob ng book na 'to? Can anyone share what they look like? Curious ako (planning to buy sana)

Hi I searched this book sa sub na ito and may discussions about how its illustration contents seem to be AI-generated. Curious po tuloy ako huhu, kasi as a reader I personally don't support AI usage sa nacoconsume kong content, pero baka pag nakita ko what they look like baka maconvince ko pa sarili ko na bilihin pa rin for the sake of the written content than the visuals huhu.

To fellow VAs, do you set up your Wise account as personal or business?

Hi! I opened my Wise account the other day and set it up as a business account kasi nagtanong ako kay chatgpt (sorry) tas sabi iset ko raw as business. This is for my salary reception purposes. Pero lately I'm having doubts kasi feeling ko dapat set up siya as Personal account. May features kasi ang business account na parang hindi pang-recipient purposes.

Kayo po, did you set up your accounts as Personal or Business? Maraming salamat po. If ever na dapat ay Personal siya, do I need to close my business account first and sign up with a new one but now as Personal? TYIA

Question: Why do some employers classify as"Private Advertiser" in job postings?

Just curious, lalo na sa JobStreet wherein may job title, description, and salary range naman na nakaindicate pero bakit po kaya hindi pinapangalanan specifically yung company? Medyo nakakapangamba po kasi magsubmit ng application kasi baka scam. Any tips or DYK about those labeled as Private Advertiser? TYIA.

What was the first book in your collection and why did you buy it/how did you have it?

Hello! A newbie here who intends to get into making reading a hobby very soon. With this, I'm curious ano yung pinakauna niyong libro when you started and the story behind it? How did it get you to read more books? How were you able to recognize your genre preferences throughout your journey? Did you eventually get the collector's edition or hardcover version (if any, or clothbound if meron din) of your first book? Sorry maraming tanong haha. I'm excited to hear your stories hehe :)))

Edit: This is just a follow-up but as someone who'll buy her first book, would I be judged na bibili ako depende sa kung gaano ako kahooked sa book cover design/material rather than the premise itself? Sana hindi ako ibash haha I really intend to genuinely read them otherwise naman kaysa maging display lang. I find myself eyeing a hard cover as my first book sana.

to overemployed peeps here, paano niyo "naitatago" na may second job kayo?

ni minsan ba, nahuli kayo? how do you cover it up, or is it (the second job) by any chance a part-time kaya technically allowed?

planning to be overemployed as well yet these are my main concerns haha. how do you answer in interviews, handle being caught in background checks, etc.

A beginner reader here. Any book recos?

I'm open to anything, actually! I'm just looking specifically for something that tackles feeling lost, missing out, coming-of-age, trauma, sort of like a life crisis and walks the readers through it. Something that holds a valuable meaning throughout the journey, something existential and profound. I might have worded this out poorly but I hope ykwim.

Just needing something with that theme because I've been in a state of unexplainable chronic sadness these past few months, so I figured making reading books a new hobby might help me find myself again.

Still, any recos would do! I'm open to any genre as long as it is recommendable to a beginner reader like me, kahit hindi siya yung minention kong specific search ko haha. Thanks a lot!

Edit: I find myself hooked lately with any Japanese novels' premise so if may recos din kayo for that, feel free to share! Thanks so much

Why are books from Fully Booked far more expensive compared to other stores selling the same book? (newbie here)

disclaimer: I'm new to reading and buying books so this question might sound dumb

why are books from FB far more expensive compared to other stores selling the same book? I'm planning to order from Shopee, so I'd like to ask what's the difference between those in FB and those in the other stores (example: Project Hail Mary is 500+ in Fully Booked store but sa ibang stores, it's 170; same with the japanese novels)? Is it because possibly secondhand yung mga nagbebenta ng mas mura or what? Hindi naman po sa nagrereklamo or walang pambili, would just like to know why or what makes FB more special (although I know it's a popular bookstore) 😅 also need your advice kung saan ako dapat bumili haha. thank you!

would appreciate any kind response, super naive pa kasi ako about book buying :)) maraming salamat po

sa mga fb sellers, bakit karamihan sa inyo hindi nilalagay yung price sa mismong post at laging "DM" lang ang reply?

hindi ko alam if ako lang may pet peeve sa mga ganito kasi sayang lang oras nung potential buyers mag-dm imbis na makita na agad nila kung magkano. pati paano sila makakasiguro na pare-parehas presyuhan niyo per interested buyer? thanks sa sasagot

bakit mahigpit ang mga kumpanya sa leaves na parang hindi yun karapatan ng empleyado?

from non-HR here. bakit as employees, yung leaves ay something na kailangan pang i-beg? eh kasama yun sa benefits, sa kontratang pinirmahan, at kung marami namang leave credits, bakit kailangang ipagdamot at dapat maraming patunay bago maapprove?

normal ba na may "orientation" bago qualification interview? hindi ba dapat sa JO na to nangyayari?

may inapplyan akong insurance company in which shortlisted daw ako in, was told na I have a qualification interview raw by july. in their email, aside sa ID, pinagdadala rin ako ng notebook at pen. my question is, hindi ba dapat qualification interview lang? weirded out lang ako kasi aside dun sa notebook and pen na pinapadala, iba pa wording nila sa pinakaunang email, "business opportunity presentation" daw, tas sobrang generic and vague ng sagot nila sakin sa call when I asked about it.

tas nitong recent email nila, "orientation" na bigla term na ginamit haha. I find their constant explanation of this matter (maski sa calls) too defensive and inconsistent, kaya malakas talaga pangamba ko.

aside don, sinabi rin sakin na if may kakilala rin daw akong interested ay again ko rin daw sa d-day ng interview ko. so para saan pa na shinortlist ako kung pwede palang mag aya ng iba?

are they trying to bring me to the usual insurance culture na nagbebenta? malakas kutob ko na scam to due to their inconsistencies with the way they communicate (too much red flags if you ask me) pero would like to know your thoughts as well kasi baka masyado lang akong nagjujudge ty
