chingy_ Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 i never understand why being a shoe saleman need to be a college grad
kitty Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 yeah? why a college grad? I've worked in sales since i was 17yrs old and have a retail NVQ level 2 plus supervisor experience with staff of about 30 ..... so almost 7 years experience or a college grad? toss up, toss up.. (im joking..kinda)
qwertyuiop Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 I understood retail sales to be a prohibited occupation for farangs under Thai labour laws
john b good Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 i never understand why being a shoe saleman need to be a college grad In Thailand you have to have a degree to get employment answering a telephone . Them telephones in the realm must be pretty complicated things
splitlid Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 i never understand why being a shoe saleman need to be a college grad In Thailand you have to have a degree to get employment answering a telephone . Them telephones in the realm must be pretty complicated things i have 2 telephones on my desk. 1 for internal line and the other for external line. when the phone rings i cant work out which one to answer.....thus resulting in me having to do very little work. ps. i dont have a degree.is this the reason?
aqua4 Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Requirements: - College graduate - previous sales experience of 2 yrs or more - native english speaker I think it is an advert for a foreigner. You must have at least college to get a work permit in Thailand.

Jeff1 Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 College graduate to sell shoe's . What a bunch of S### ! I never took shoe selling in college . I guess im out too
otherstuff1957 Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 I really don't get this Thai obsession with College Degrees. Is it a class thing? Are they barring kids from poorer families from decent jobs? The whole concept of needing a degree to sell shoes is ludicrous!. I was in sales for ten years and despite having a degree from one of the top Universities in the US (Stanford), I was only an average earner. My best friend was a high school dropout who usually earned twice the commission that I did!
aqua4 Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 I agree it is odd. Thai's have obsessions with degrees for odd things. Even falangs who open stores and businesses here do the same. Browse through the forum and see for yourself. You need a degree to be an estate agent and a used car salesman. Isuzu as an example was looking for sales personel to sell new cars off a show room floor, but the applicants had to have a degree. Paper in Thailand is more important that making money in itself. Just because you have a degree in Marine Biology does not mean you can sell cars. They dont take into account experience or ability. Smoke and mirrors.
