The people who arrive stuck.
Students and recent graduates
Applying into tourism and hospitality and manufacturing and automotive around Bangkok against people who already had someone make the call for them.
Job seekers who keep reaching the last round
Strong applications, no useful feedback, and no one in Bangkok who can say what the shortlist actually turns on.
People early in a job here
First or second role in Bangkok, working hard, with nobody explaining how progression or pay is decided.
Career changers
Moving out of technology and digital or into it, with a CV that still reads like the last job rather than the next one.
The fields our mentors work in.
Mentors volunteer 30 minutes. Matching is cross-border, so a mentor outside the city is normal and often the point.

Manufacturing and automotive
Technology and digital

The things people ask first.
Do I have to live in Bangkok to book?
No. Matching is cross-border, so a mentor is chosen for the job they do rather than the city they sit in.
Is it really free?
Free to you. Sessions are funded by our employer, university and public-sector partners.
How soon can I get a session?
Sign up, tell us what you are stuck on, and pick a slot in ICT once you are matched.
Can I be matched with someone in tourism and hospitality?
Yes. Tourism and hospitality is one of the areas Bangkok mentees ask about most, and mentors in it volunteer across the network.
Will my mentor understand the Bangkok job market?
Often, yes. Where the better match sits elsewhere, you still get someone who does the job you are aiming at, and the advice is set against what you are facing in Bangkok.
Get unstuck from Bangkok.
Thirty minutes with someone who has already done it. Free to you, wherever you are sitting.
