Thank you guys and I apologize for the late reply!
I still haven’t signed anything, there will be a presentation tomorrow with some extra short interview to follow and then the ‘sign here, here and there’ moment comes. I will not sign for less than double in such a case.
It is true that I have some educational background and experience but getting a job here is still very difficult. I mean in Bulgaria. However, if I am to leave for two years, it should be for at least 30% more money I can get here using my head rather than my hands. The problem is that time is running out for me and I am in such a position that I seem to be overqualified for a lot of jobs (driver, salesperson, etc) and inexperienced for better ones, since I have mainly worked at the hotel industry to date. A paradox, yet I have bills to pay, etc. Excuse me for going a bit sideways/offtopic.
The abovementioned was for Hayatt Hotel, which should be far from a fast food or a kiosk. The agency is Trenkwalder – they publish dozens of ads at a job panel in my country. I have applied for this one two weeks ago. Although very polite, their representative has not read my CV. He did not even know what position/interview I was there for. There weren’t any other questions, except for the general ones and it was more of a presentation. He tried to convince me that tipping is so great, that wages are more of a formality. As well as, that ‘’a three-month-notification’ is a standard clause for contracts there. However, tips are always seasonal, nevertheless the climate. And I do not sign a contract thinking how to break/end it. If I sign, I will stay until the end date unless an emergency. There is an early morning interview tomorrow. I will not print this thread, but I might mention the forum.:) Also I will try to ground myself within a page and attach it to my CV and recommendation file to hand in tomorrow. I will demand QR 3500/month - there is no problem of testing my skills to communicate with guests and serve tables any time, my recommendations are authentic.
