SALARY
Hi all! did not have a decent job since I lost my job due to the global crisis about 2 years ago. I now got a job in Doha and about to signed a contract with an offer of QR 3000 + life insurence, accommodation and a return ticket every year. I will leave behind wife and 2 kids. I am given 3 days to think about it and sign. Could you please be so kind as to tell me if this is a faire deal & what is the accommodation offered by employers like? would I be able to survive and send money back to look after my family? I am 90% ready to sign because I am unemplyed at the moment. I thank you in advance for your help and advice. ( I am coming from South Africa and will be working in a hotel as a head barman )
Hi everybody..nwe, I was offered by one of Private construction company there in qatar a salary of 8,000QR (Accomodation/Transportation/Round trip ticket every year, Insurance are provided by the company). I want to know if this is fair enought. I am filipino with 7 years working expirience, 5 years of which are in GCC countries.
It's better than having nothing back home. Take it, and from there on you move forward. GBU!
thank you so much for a quick response. You're right, the situation back in SA is not good at the moment. I don't feel comfortable to discuss salary with the future employer at the moment considering the number of people who attended the interviews, I really think that they (employer) had enough talented and experienced people to pick and choose from. So I will first take the opportunity since this will give me a good start for now... I appreciate your time
many thanks!
Thank you very much for your point of view. I thank God for the opportunity. I really appreciate your time and input, may God bless you
Thanks... much appreciated
This is a very good offer ..
It means that the 3000 QR will be ur saving ,,,,,
Good Luck
try to ask for more, if they can't give thats good offer already considering that you n i are in africa.good luck.
It's good, considering all the expenses are covered.
3000+accomodation+food allowance+transfortation+1yearly ticket. fair enough, saving is depend n ur lifestyle.
better than nothing.
From my personal experience that's not so bad at all since the salary will not be distributed to all the living expenses like housing, food, transport, clothings, utilities etc. as these will be covered by the hotel. Working in a hotel has its perks. If you're staying in the staff accommodation, the hotel shuttle bus will transport you to work and back. As head barman you'll work for the Food & Beverage department, nevertheless food would likely be provided. You also get free uniform and laundry, and if you fall under supervisor category personal laundry is covered as well for a maximum QR200. This isn't to mention that the staff accommodation may have its own recreational facilities like gym, cable television and internet. The yearly ticket & life insurance sound good. Considering that you have been jobless and the current global crisis, thank God for your blessing and good luck!
Definitely- but considering the situation I would say he has no choice
I thought someone from SA would need much more than that...
Fellow South African, QR 3,000 is nothing here- I would ask for at least 4K. But considering you're back in SA, you won't find anything there so I suggest you take the opportunity.
