I browsed through your old application out of sheer curiosity. You only copied a portion of it. I understand getting this much hate for inactivity, but why for a few sentences? This is making me facepalm. In the future, have more confidence in yourself, but also know what you're applying for and how much time you can actually devote towards a position.
Congratulations to all those recruited and promoted - you all deserved it. For those who were not recruited, don't worry, there are many more months to improve.
