Working for CLBS in Thailand.... How could that be?

Post new topic

Anonymous 2014

Hello everyone,
I have a couple of friends working there. The job is a call center job. Staying 8 hours on the phone, one hour break for lunch but as most you spend that hour there, so it's actually 9 hours per day, because you don't really have the time to go for lunch, so you bring there the food from home. You need a degree to work in Thailand, as a Thai role if you're a foreign.
Work is mad and people cannot stay more than a few months at least one year, the salary is poor for the job done. Not mention that you have to work in European time, so during winter time, you finish your work at 2 am. Forget to go round in evenings, because at midnight everything is closed as in Thailand, as everyone knows, ther's dictatorship. You cannot really enjoy Thailand in this way. Sometimes, you have to work during weekends also. I don't know if I want to apply for this conditions. I prefer go somewhere else or find other solutions.

Where to start with the nightmare? :)
I worked for these slave traders for almost 2 years! Yes, I know I am stupid! :)
The salary very bad, working times always CET, management very bad!!! And the best thing is, if there don't need you anymore there just kick you out for some reason there just made up! And of course eminently, so there don't have to pay for your return airplane ticket! Very nice company!!!
But know I am very happy there kicked me out! Because I am now my own boss since the time I left and employ even some people from CLBS for much better condition! :)
Any questions you may have, I am happy to answer you! :)

Is there any jobs for software project management at CLBS?

abztom

maybe not shure and if yes than for 25000TBH a month :)

ClaireBru

Oh i see thanks, so it is pure call center and there is no Software development

abztom

yes it`s a call centre. I know there employ some IT people, but mostly Thai! As there are very cheap and work for around 10000TBH a month. And there many Thai who can do the job.Ìý I by my self have a few Thai employed for IT as there very good and cheap.

ClaireBru

Got it, then please advice me how can i find a Software IT job in Thailand.

abztom

well :) if you speak Thai no problem! I can find you easy work! You don`t speak Thai, forget it to get a job in IT! Sorry sound`s hard but it`s the reality! Because, in Thailand we are forang and forag only alowed to do job`s who cant do Thai! And Thai very good in IT and very cheap and many Thais studdy IT on University, so there have enought Thais who can work in IT. This means, forangÌý can do only a handfull jobs in Thailand. Like teaching english if you have a teacher certificate ore working for a forang call center ore for an realestate to sell proppertys and that`s so pretty much all! Alternativ you can open your own company, but you need to check first if you allowed to work in this kind of jobs in Thailand which you we offer!
Sorry to disapoint you, but this is Thailand! There dont want you! There only want your money as a tourist and after this please go home but you welcome back with money again! That it!

ClaireBru

ha ha. No worries then stay where I am. Because i like Thailand : everything is cheap but there is life quality, fresh air outside Bangkok, nature look. So i am choosing Thailand to grow my later part ..........

abztom

shure no problem and enjoy it! I do enjoy it too and for me it works perfectly with my company :)

Hi abztom,

Do you have your own company there in Thailand?
I though it was not possible for foreigners, because of this I was interested in applying for CLBS, but after hearing about your experience I don't think it is a good idea.

Which kind of companies we are allowed to have in Thailand?
Do you know if there are other companies interested in hiring foreigners?

By the moment I have worked as Recruiter, Teacher (accounting, statistics, and languages) and Project manager (in Tourism). I have bachelor degree and master degree too. Do you think is it possible for me to find a job there?

Thanks for the info!Ìý :)

hello! I am also new here.

I am from Spain and I too sent and application to this company.Ìý

From what I am reading here am I to assume the company is legit right? Just checking because there are a lot of weird things going around the internet and I cannot find much information outside their web.
