I'm finally at the last leg of my Bangkok stint!

**************

RA Advertising (Thailand) Ltd. is a specialized arm of PacRim Group that deals with recruitment advertising production, media placement, and various human resource requirements. We have served numerous companies in Thailand across different industries in our 12 years of existence. Through the years, we have slowly and continually tried to change the face of the classified section of the newspaper by treating classifieds or recruitment ads as HR extensions of a company’s personality. Our added value lies in the creativity and imagination we inject to our ads, not to mention better English than our competitors.

It is a known fact that English is not one of the top 10 strengths of Thais, which is why we need a Filipino to help us for 1 year.

EDITOR/COPYWRITER

You need not be a Writer, Editor, English Teacher, (or Walking Dictionary for that matter) for this job – but if you are, it will be an advantage. We want a person with an innate ability to play with words and an unconscious habit of correcting grammar. Creativity and resourcefulness also play a big part in this role. We need a patient, flexible, and optimistic individual who is stimulated by new sights, sounds, and cultures… and someone who knows how to keep him/herself occupied during lulls. It would be useful (but not necessary) if you have a background in print production, proofreading, and/or editing. Individuals with messianic tendencies and obsessive-compulsive behavior are also very much welcome here.

Additional qualifications are as follows:
Age between 25-30 years
Bachelor’s Degree in any related field
Previous work experience in a structured environment
Ready to move to Bangkok by November 2004

If we just described you, send us your resume and tell us in 300 words or less why you would want to work and live in Bangkok for a year. Send your resume and essay, or any question you may have, to: rathai@rathai.com (in Word format only) by July 30, 2004.
