We have three guides for today s lesson. The first is Ms Chitsopee Thongtao, the manager of the Bangkok Post s Classified s, an important department because it generates income for the paper. It is true that you pay 20 baht to buy a copy, but that does not nearly cover the cost of producing the paper. We asked Khun Chitsopee what she looks for when hiring new staff members. Not surprising for an English-language newspaper applicants must do well on an English test which includes writing a short essay.
Teamwork is important in a big department.
For this lesson, we wanted to bring you information from other employers who are valued customers of the Bangkok Post . Khun Chitsopee recommended the two people we interviewed and I think you ll agree they have some important advice for you. Meeting the experts Our two company guides are experts in job placement. The first is Ms Varaphorn Sayupatham, Director of Executive Recruitment for PricewaterhouseCoopers. Ms Varaphorn told us the company is one of the world s largest providing business advice and assurance services.
