jasmine Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 [color:"red"] IMO just forget about computer jobs, unless you are skilled in IT [/color] Many Thais are very skilled in IT and are searching for jobs. I think this young man is very uninformed. Jasmine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 A couple of things. The spelling is Thai. I got that one down, it was more of a slip than anything. Thank's for the correction. As for computer jobs. I have seven years experience in I.T. as a desktop support person, and have a very good resume for what I do. I realise many Thai people are coming out of college with a computer degree, and will work cheaply. I would expect Thai wages when I am there, I have heard that teachers survive off 25 to 30,000 baht a month to survive. My hope is to at least get a job making that much, I know it isn't living the high life, but for the experience I will take it. If I live in a studio apartment, so be it. What about teaching computers in English, would that make me marketable? More than anything I appreciate all your feedback, when mentioning this trip to people that have vacationed in Thailand, they make it seem like an all day all night party. I'm trying to protect myself from seeing it that way. This group sounds more like realists. So how do I go about finding a computer job.

Guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 One more thing, does the fact I speak fluent English count for anything in finding an IT job? Or does it really not matter much? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmine Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Hi, Many of us in this borad are in IT field including me with a MS and almost 30 years experience. What I am trying to say is that the fact the Thais have good resources in IT. A Thai woman with a PhD in IT from here (USA) and good connection just informed me last month that the only job offer she has is from Thammasart Univ. as a lecturer of $25,000 Baht. So analyze your situation a little more clearly. On teaching computer in English, many Thais can teach in both Thai and English. All I am trying to say is that Thailand is not an easy place to find a job. Teaching English will be your best bet, IMO. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattaya127 Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 First, spell the word "Thai" correctly ------------------------- Not so fast, jas! Maybe he's on top of knowing where thais migrated from, and a SEA linguistic expert to boot. PS: hein, what you say????..... Totally useless as he lands at Don Muang? You got a point, girl!

pattaya127 Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 I feel bad to see someone go to Thailand uninformed! ----------------------------- Don't, anymore! He is in SF, so actually, after meeting me, he will be completely knowledgeable, with no stones unturned, and no thai behaviour unexplained... he may actually find it "deja vu".
