I want to push myself and work abroad. Where do I start, and how do I find a job?
Reader's Question：
I’m thinking of going overseas to challenge myself but don’t know where to begin. I want a sales-related job, as I’ve been working in sales so far.
Living in the U.S., I’ve seen the same kinds of jobs, environments, and people. I feel like it’ll be the same for the rest of my life, so I want to break free, be independent, and live a pressured, no-turning-back lifestyle. As for how long I’ll stay abroad, it depends on my personal development.
My Response:
1. General Ways to Find Overseas Jobs:
If you’re looking for a job in Thailand specifically, I’ve shared some tips on how to find work there in this article:How to Find a Job in Thailand/Southeast Asia.
2. For Sales Jobs Abroad:
The simplest way is to search on platforms like Indeed or LinkedIn for sales jobs in Thailand.Often, when companies can't find local talent, they are willing to invest time and money to train foreigners, even offering Thai language lessons.
In Thailand,both English and Thai are essential for sales roles.Most people arrive with only English, and it’s common for employers to sponsor Thai language lessons.Companies are expanding in Thailand and Southeast Asia, so sending out multiple applications increases your chances.Since you have a background in sales, your prospects are even better. The international market is vast, and there are many opportunities. Best of luck with your job search!
