Here is an example. You can download all the guides by visiting the link above or my Scribd documents here.

Effective Job Interviews

September 8, 2009 siamenglish Leave a comment

Over at Applicant.com there is a useful list of seven Slideshare presentations for job seekers. One I liked in particular was Effective Job Interviewing From Both Sides of the Desk by Andy Lester.

I’ve found that in Thailand, graduates and job-seekers with only a few years experience are often unprepared for interviews because they have not considered how they will respond to the most common interview questions. This slideshow is a good primer for some of these questions and the level of preparation necessary to impress in an interview.
