My group previously visited the Sheraton Hotel for our first interview with the front desk manager and it went very well. We decided to keep with the same hotel for our next interview, but due to a last-minute cancellation from the housekeeping manager we were not able to complete the interview.

Thailand isn’t necessarily the first destination you think, when looking for an easy and accessible holiday location.
