Hi All,
My name is Shahbaz and I am based in Manchester, UK. I am a British national with a Thai wife who is in Bangkok. I am going to relocate to Bangkok as we are expecting and I want to be around for the birth of my child.
I am a highly experienced IT professional and have worked in the Financial Technology sector for the past 5 years.
I have applied for lots of suitable jobs in Bangkok from the UK, did a new resume and wrote a covering letter etc. I have had literally no response, not so much as even a telephone interview. In England I would have had lots of response by now as I have a well sought after skill set.
Is it because I am applying from within the UK? Would I be better off applying when I arrive in Thailand?
My concern is that I will still struggle after arriving in Thailand, which I can deal with but I will have to get a different job e.g. teaching or something.
Any advice would be massively helpful.
Thanks
