Back to corporate world after almost two years of solitude wandering (career break) in Latin America (2020-2021) and my Homeland (2021-2022) #livealifeyouwillremember 

Coming from the Philippines, I applied online for an Engineering position with one-shot bloody panel interview (I think the hardest I have so obviously I don't expect to pass). Luckily and surprisingly, the employer emailed me for some documents needed to submit and congratulate that I passed the position I'm applying for. Deployment requirements depend on the country of destination and job position.
