19th Day of Looking for Job

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2022/07/15th-day-of-looking-for-job.html

Yesterday I went for the "Interview 2", the guy called me up and scheduled a session. He was nice to take the time to explain how their organisation is structured, I think he is looking for someone to help his company do a transformation to keep up with current methodologies so that they can provide faster and cheaper service, told him I'm not suitable as I don't have that kind of experience, it sounded like a huge undertaking like a director level kind of job but I don't think he is going to pay me director level salary, it's way above my head.

I must concede that looking for job is no joke, when I was holding a job, I thought looking for job is easy as pie, but the reality is totally different, it's actually quite stressful. Back in Apr, May and Jun very carefree, but when my brain switch to "looking for job" mode in Jul, the stress and self-doubt started to set in, especially after going for interviews where I'm not suitable for the role, getting questioned for things that I cannot answer on the spot only made it worse.

On the bright side, I did get a lot of calls and quite a few messages from job portals like Monster.com.sg, so far went through 4 virtual interviews, 1 I think got chance, 3 totally gone case, another 2 scheduled for this week, so total 6 interviews.

Anyway have to stay positive, everyday go exercise, keep up with news, learn new things, play some Dota 2 to de-stress.

Update: Got another virtual interview for a total of 7, also this week. Then the "Interview 1" got back to me for a second interview. Like that total count as 8 interviews. To be honest I don't know what to expect for second interview because I never been to one before, maybe this is a good start? https://www.michaelpage.com.sg/advice/career-advice/interview/what-expect-your-second-interview

Hmm or this? This one seems more structured and easier to prepare: https://www.roberthalf.com.sg/career-advice/interview/second-questions

I guess I'll spend the whole of tomorrow to prepare.

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation fo
