tgw Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 My girlfriend is looking for a job in pattaya. She speaks english quite well, quick learner, very honest ( I have known her for 3 years). Doesn't really have more qualifications except being very friendly, good-looking, petite (1m49) and 32 yo. And excellent cook too! I guess she would do well in a job greeting customers with some responsibility, like head reception and cashier in a small hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam sen Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 my thai friends in business all complain about how difficult it is to find decent staff. with so many lazy, stupid and dishonest employees here there is really no reason for anyone prepared to work hard not to get a good job. i see many signs attached to hotels, restaurants, travel agents looking for staff. my advice; your GF needs to get off her arse, put on some decent clothes and go to speak to the owners of any businesses she would like to work. it is worrying that she isnt doing this already and is resorting to you posting here... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) What has she done for the 3 years you have known her? Very little to no chance of receptionist or cashier job without Mathayom 6 certificate at least but you never know. She may get something through the informal network such as small hotel with farang owner who is one of your mates.

Gsxrnz Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 The big question is......will she be happy working as cashier/reception doing 10-12 hours a day with maybe three days off a month and penalised for being sick, for the grand sum of circa 8,000 baht?

Briggsy Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Her best bet is to go back and get a Kor Nor Ror certificate from a college. Anyone can get one in 2 years. Much better chance of a job. They are equivalent to Mathayom 6 certificate. Depends how motivated she is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Like Thai Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 If she wanted a job, she could get one no problem. You wanting her to get a job is a different proposition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why my tgf doesn't work. All she is offered is 7000 a month for working 70 hours a week. By the time she has paid her travel, uniform and food she is left with 100 baht a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect that is the "constructive" response the OP was looking for I have sent a pm to op with a job offer, the answer was along the lines of "for her to be promoted after 6 months" To be honest, i do not think OP resides in Thailand and if he does, she the gf is taking him for a good ride. According to OP, she does not have education or experience, but HE is looking to put her into HEAD reception job HE is looking for company to make her even bigger boss after 6 months. Ever had or heard of a job where without education or experience someone was made into a manager after 6 months? With the big boys like Hilton, she will not even get an invite for an interview, and other 3-4 star chains, the most she would be offered is either a cleaner or night shift with no prospect of moving up, but a salary review AFTER 1 YEAR OF SERVICE Edited March 20, 2014 by whoisyourdaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't posting your opinion on the OP's response to your job offer PM in the public forum just a tad disingenuous? If I was making a serious offer, I would have asked the OP for his gf's email or phone number and made the offer directly. If the OP was serious about helping his gf, he would have agreed to do this. Back OT, there are plenty opportunities for work in Pattaya. The earlier comment about someone's gf who won't even get out of bed for 7000 baht. Where on earth does she think she is? If the figures quoted by (yet another) boyfriend are to be believed, even after 70 hours of work, she would have 100 baht that she didn't have before. Some want to work and some don't.

Got a job offer? Or know of someone offering a job as a head reception and cashier to inexperienced, uneducated and unskilled person? And considering the age and lack of skills, most likely a bar girl or an ex bar girl Edited March 21, 2014 by whoisyourdaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for her.....she deserves the "tips".......12 hours is a long shift ......every day There are plenty of people who "will" work for their money...... And many who want money given to them.......

I reckon most of us had already sussed out that the OP is a newbie cadging for a job for his holiday romance tilac with the possibility that she is of the demimondaine persuasion. However, you chose to PM* the OP, make an offer through him only to publicly chastise the OP, paraphrase what he shared with you in a responding PM* and further state your unconfirmed assertions as to her social standing, all based on replies to a PRIVATE MESSAGE*. I always thought that PM'ing was exactly that, private. You know, like 'What happens in Vegas...?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again wrong, OP was very clear in his opening, head reception , no experience, no education OP's response to PM was along the same lines. Now back to OP, did you have job offer? or knew someone with suitable position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumblecat Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 demimondaine I genuinely like it when I get to learn new words. Going to add it to my list of 19th Century lingo to bust out when things get hairy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
