Depende if tanungin ako if may iba pang pending applications. If that's so, I just become honest, hoping they won't pressure me na mag-asikaso na agad ng requirements and confirm agad if mag-push through sa job opportunity.

Gaya kanina sa interview for a server position sa isang high-end cafe/bar sa Ortigas, tinanong ako nyan. Di ganun kalinaw ata sagot ko, like tinanong if anytime pwede na ako mag-start, sabi ko ok naman. And nung minention na what if bigyan agad ako ng schedule for next week para sa training, nung napaisip ako sabi bakit di ako makasagot, then I became honest by saying may pending pang applications and 1 JO na, I need enough time to reflect and think of the options. While saying I'm still interested as in cinoconsider ko pa rin sila.

So for me, just be honest when ka willing and ready magstart. Take into consideration if may pending pang applications or interview results, tsaka if may mga plano and lakads especially essential ones soon, maybe inform them of such especially pag tinanong ka rin. Yun lang opinion ko.
