flexible and innovative. Team building ability and tolerance for
difference are critical elements which are crucial for a good career.
This was stated by Dr. Richard Wellford, Chairman, CSR Asia while
delivering a talk at the AIT Career Fair.
Dr. Wellford stated that people are now looking for exciting careers
which provide them with a more fulfilling experience. This is opposed
to the earlier notion of salary being the main driving force in a
career. “Companies are getting interested in social skills of the
people they hire,” Dr. Richard remarked.
The fair was followed by a talk on effective communication skills by
Mr. Steve Hiatt, a counseling expert. Mr. Chatchair Ugsornsilp, Senior
Program Assistance, TUSEF/Fulbright Thailand delivered a talk on
