RECRUITMENT: ONLY IN THAILAND
Another personal HR experience from the '.. it can only happen in Thailand' file.
My company is currently recruiting for advertising sales staff for our English language publications. The ad says applications should be in English and that the position involves selling ads for English language titles.
Step forward Ms. B. She emailed a good resume in the correct language and with enough experience and skills to warrant an interview. She even boasted "good" English language communication skills and a typing speed of 35 wpm in English.
And her response to my request to attend an interview (summarised for clarification)? "Sorry, I didn't realise the interview would be in English. I do not speak good English."

Well, at least she didn't waste your time! Hiring is an interesting experience here...
One of the drawbacks of resumes: Proofreaders. Ironic, isn't it? Now, if you could hire the person that wrote her resume...
Excellent. She displayed a fine degree of honesty too, uh? - albeit that her Engish was not up to scratch.
