In this video, I debunk the myth that teaching English is the only job available for expats in Thailand. Whether you're new to the country or an existing teacher looking to pivot, I'll guide you through the process of securing a non-teaching job. Many people think teaching is the only option, but there are other jobs for expats in Thailand. It may be challenging, but it's possible to find non teaching jobs in Thailand. If you're new to Thailand and are looking for work, or if you're a teacher looking for a career change, this video is for you. I'll discuss the challenges you might face, why employers may be hesitant to hire foreigners, and how you can overcome these obstacles. I'll share my own journey and offer practical steps on networking, adapting your skillset to the local market, and setting yourself apart in job applications and interviews. I'll also explain the importance of targeting BOI companies and how to navigate the cultural and bureaucratic hurdles in Thailand. If you're committed and ready for a challenge, there are opportunities beyond teaching waiting for you in Thailand.
