خلفية ثقافية
The 'Wai' is a non-negotiable part of the interview. You should Wai the interviewer when you enter and when you leave. If there is a panel, Wai the most senior person first or the group as a whole. Interviewer-candidate dynamics are strictly hierarchical. Use 'Krab/Ka' religiously. Avoid using 'I' (Chan/Phom) too aggressively; keep a humble tone. Even for creative jobs, the first 'สัมภาษณ์งาน' usually requires conservative attire. Men wear ties; women wear skirts or slacks with blouses. Bright colors are often avoided in favor of 'polite' tones like blue, white, or grey. Thais value 'Kreng Jai'. During an interview, don't interrupt the interviewer. If you don't understand a question, ask politely using 'Khor-thot' (Excuse me).
The Power of Krab/Ka
Even if your Thai isn't perfect, using 'Krab' or 'Ka' consistently will make you 10x more employable in Thailand.
Don't be too casual
Avoid using 'Goo/Mung' or even 'Rao' (unless the interviewer uses it first). Stick to 'Phom' (male) or 'Dichan/Noo' (female).
