I have been inspired by the stories of people finding a better life away from home. I was hoping I can attempt the same and explore life outside of Europe while working overseas.
Continuing Workaway in the United States and Canada was a tempting longer term alternative. However the most appropriate plan was to start moving forward in my career more conscientiously. To grow up and fulfill my potential.
I was ready to be honest about what I needed to learn, started working harder, seeked out more responsibilities. I continued improving my existing skills in Front-End development and product delivery. Over the years I started to engage in Product Management to eventually lead a team and develop a product together.
I also tried to comply with the competitive job market by uploading a professional profile to LinkedIn and shortly after hiring agents began to contact me about opportunities across Europe and overseas.
Eventually Agoda reached out to me about a Web Performance Engineer position in Bangkok. It was a great honor and a very exciting opportunity. I entered the first round of Skype call with confidence and a peace of mind, that turned out to be a key ingredient to a successful job interview.
Shortly after I got the invitation to fly in to the Bangkok office and continue with face-to-face interviews with managers and future colleagues. It was a wonderful experience and all expenses were paid by Agoda.
The interviews were well organized and everything went well. I gave my best and I appreciated the people I have met there during my short stay.
It turned out to a be successful journey and I got my first job overseas.
