Between weddings and elopements, the latter is cheaper but that doesn't make it free. Court fees, license costs, and payment for your officiant can all add up. Decide on an the amount you're willing to pay with your partner and avoid going over-budget. Eloping can cost as little as $100 to several thousand dollars. Compared to the average wedding cost ($26,000), this is by far the budget-friendly way to get married. While you can get engaged at any age, most countries only allow couples to marry after both are of legal age (between 17-22). The age that you can get married with parental consent varies between countries but can range from 12-17. Your country will require different documentation depending on their policies. Some even require waiting periods up to three days before your marriage is considered legal. Contact your local legal department to acquire all necessary documents for a marriage license. If you live in a location that requires a blood test, you can usually get the requirement waived via informed consent. Most countries require a marriage officiant, and many have set requirements for who can officiate a wedding. Licensed ministers, clergymen, ship captains, or justices of the peace are all typical officiants. In locations that do not require officiants, a witness will be required to verify the marriage. In the United States, the exception to this rule is Florida, which does not require a witness. In a pinch, have a close friend register as an ordained minister online. This process can require as little as several hours' time and a nominal fee. If your elopement is sudden, you might want to file a prenuptial agreement with your future spouse. Prenuptials are legal documents that determine what will happen to your incomes, possessions, and children (if applicable) if the marriage does not work out. Have a lawyer draft or look over your prenuptial agreement to make the document official.

Summary: Budget your money to cover legal costs. Make sure you're old enough to marry. Obtain a marriage license. Check if your government requires a marriage officiant or witness. Fill out a prenuptial agreement.

Often an interviewer will ask you a question to get more information about your personality, aptitude, and experience. Sometimes the question is aimed at learning something that isn't apparent. Think about the actual meaning behind each question before you give your response, and cater your answer to what they are actually asking. Blaming past coworkers for your own shortcomings could signal to the employer that you don't take responsibility for your actions and aren't a team player. Instead, talk about how their communication or management style didn't mesh well with yours, and emphasize how you were able to adapt and accomplish goals, even though this was so. If the interviewer asks "What did you dislike most about your last boss?" they want to understand your expectations of management and understand which management styles you have trouble working with. You can answer "Tell me about your worst boss" by saying something like "I had a boss who communicated differently than me. I learned that you have to be able to adapt to different personalities if you want a project to get done on time." If they ask, "Why are you better than anyone else for this job?" they are looking to gauge your level of confidence and humility to see if you can fulfill expectations while still being a team player. Talk about your experience and why it makes you capable, but also talk about your passion for learning and getting better at your job. You can say something like "I have a decade of experience, and I work well with other people. Also, you won't meet a person more passionate about this than I am." Sometimes an interview will contain specific questions regarding your industry. These questions are designed to see if you understand the current standards and practices of the industry as well as your experience level. Make sure to have a solid grasp of the specific technical and operational aspects of your potential job. Jobs, where you may be expected to have an intimate knowledge of your industry, include biotech, pharma, business, coding, IT, medical, design, and much more. Think of the goal of the interviewer and what they need out of a person to successfully fulfill the role. They also want to make sure that you would be a good team member and pleasant to work with. Think about what would benefit them the most, depending on what role they have in the company, and cater your answers to their role. For example, an HR manager wants to know that you can communicate well with others and can adhere to the company culture. A director of a department will want you to communicate well and accomplish results in a safe and effective way. An external recruiter will want to know that you have the experience for the job and are a good candidate to send to the employer.

Summary: Evaluate the meaning behind the question. Don't talk badly about past co-workers. Have humility and confidence when answering questions about yourself. Give specifics when asked questions about your industry. Understand the person interviewing you.

To properly blacken fish, the fillets need to be thin enough to cook quickly without burning. Cut your meat so that the fillets are no larger than 4 by 6in (10 by 15cm). They should not be thicker than 12in (1.3cm). For thicker cuts of fish, slice it laterally to make 2 thinner slices. Keep your fish refrigerated until you are ready to cook it. Whether you are using a gas grill or a charcoal grill, you must make sure your pan is hot before adding the fish. Placing a cast iron skillet directly on the rack of the grill works best. After your grill is heated, it should only take around 5 minutes for the skillet to become hot. Only use skillets that can withstand high temperatures and direct heat. You can also heat a cast iron skillet on the stove on high heat for 10 minutes. However, cooking blackened fish in a cast iron skillet is not recommended indoors due to the amount of smoke the blackening method produces. After your fish is covered in butter, rub your spices around the exterior of the fish. You can add as much or as little spice as you want. Spices should be added immediately before you cook your fish. Put the fish directly in the hot pan after seasoning. Place a piece of fish in the middle of the hot cast iron skillet and immediately spoon the melted butter on top. Use caution as the butter hitting the hot pan can make it flare up or smoke. Blackened fish makes a great meal all on its own, or atop a salad. The fish should be served immediately. Store any leftover fish in the refrigerator, in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Store any leftovers as soon as possible. If they are left at room temperature for more than 2 hours, throw them away. If you cannot get to your leftovers in 2-3 days, freeze them in a container or airtight bag for up to a month. You can try adding different dressings to enhance the Cajun style seasonings, like a strawberry kiwi salsa.
Summary: Cut the meat into fillets that are 4 by 6in (10 by 15cm). Turn the grill on high and heat a cast iron skillet on the grill. Sprinkle both sides of the meat with blackening spices. Put a piece of fish on the skillet and spoon 1UStbsp (15mL) of butter on it. Serve your fish immediately.
