Hi all.

I'm looking for advice/recommendations on who to contact to find out if my partners career skills would allow her to gain employment with an overseas company/corporation, based in Bangkok.

I'm aware of the strict employment rules.

I'm assuming we would need to talk to a recruitment consultant who specialises in overseas employment, but any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, Dan.

Linkedin has Thailand based roles. Nearly every single one requires fluency in the Thai language.

Please be aware some jobs are only open to Thai people, (foreigners generally need to be professional or have a special skill) a list is available online.

Yes, this post was a 'hit and hope' for the missus. We could move there with my online business, but I know she'd get bored going out by herself while I'm working.

She's worked in retail for the last 30 years. State manager (Queensland) running 30+ stores. But not in the corporate (office) field - that's why I'm thinking it's not specialised enough.
