A JOURNALISM JOB IN THAILAND

The Bangkok Post is currently advertising for a News Chief Sub Editor, a rare opportunity for an experienced journalist or copy editor to work in Thailand.
There have been very few vacancies for experienced native English media professionals in Thailand during the last six months, and opportunities for work on either of Thailand's English language daily newspapers have been even rarer.
This position requires a minimum of 10 years' copy desk experience at a national, English language daily newspaper. Strong leadership skills and a fluent command of the English language are also required, and experience in newspaper design will be an advantage.
Applicants should send a detailed resume, a recent photograph and references to chiratasn AT bangkokpost.co.th.

Yeah, it´s pretty hard for foreigners to find a job in thailand. The best is to search for company in your homecountry which are also have firms in thailand. I searched almost a year before geting a good pay office job from a Belgium shipping company in thailand.

Good advice, thanks. In terms of publishing and the media though, only key jobs with the global news organisations (like BBC, CNN, etc) will be recruited outside Thailand. Even jobs with news agencies are likely to be locally recruited, and I've only seen a couple of magazine industry jobs in Thailand advertised overseas in the last five years.
