Despite sending my resume to dozens of employers, why am I getting no replies?
It could be one of several reasons but I’ll give you the main two. Firstly, do you actually match the requirements? You’d be surprised how many applications schools get from teachers who clearly don’t fit the position and in many cases didn’t read the job ad carefully enough. The second reason is that generally - and Thai admin staff aren’t going to thank me for saying this - but they suck at handling e-mail enquiries. It’s got so bad that very rarely do I communicate with any Thai person by e-mail full stop. I don’t know what it is about Thais and e-mail but even my wife agrees that they are extremely poor in answering e-mails in a timely manner - and my wife is Thai! When it comes to weighing up e-mail versus a phone call…....get dialling!
