Struggling with job interviews in Thailand? Here's what helped me improve!

[atexclamation]

Hi everyone!

 

Like many here, I've been actively looking for a job in Thailand, particularly in sales. I’ve been through quite a few interviews over the past few weeks, and honestly, I thought I performed well. But... I kept getting rejected 😅. It left me wondering where exactly I was going wrong.

 

So, I decided to change my approach. I started researching ways to improve my interview skills and eventually came across some useful tips online. I even looked up interview practice tools on the App Store, and after downloading and trying a few, I found one that helped me organize my thoughts and prepare more effectively.

This app I tried wasn’t just about typical interview questions—it guided me to reflect on my past experiences and think deeply about how I handled challenges, worked under pressure, and achieved success in my previous roles. After practicing with it for a few days, I noticed a significant improvement in how I responded to questions, especially the tricky ones like “What’s the most challenging project you’ve worked on?” or “How do you deal with stress?”

 

During my recent interview for a sales position, I realized something interesting: having smooth communication and confidence during the conversation actually mattered more than my qualifications or job history. Thanks to the extra practice, I felt more relaxed and natural during the interview, and I could tell the interviewer was more satisfied with my answers compared to my previous attempts.

So, if you're also struggling with job interviews, especially in Thailand’s competitive job market, I highly recommend taking some time to practice. It’s made a big difference for me! Feel free to share your experiences or any interview tips you have as well. I’d love to hear what’s working for others 😊.

OP, are you a Thai citizen?  Do you speak fluent Thai? Do you have a specialist skill to back up a sales job that are not available to Thais (unless you are Thai) ? What age range are you? What is your present visa status?  All are relevant to how you are perceived here by any interviewer. Not much of what you have said in your post is applicable to interviews anywhere else but Thailand.  Here is so far out of the norm in the West, that any comparisons are meaningless. There are rules and polices in the West, to protect both candidate and employer from, for example, discrimination and the giving of false or misleading information ( on both sides) , there are precious few here.
