Job Needed

by **Rosbif71** » 2nd Nov, '09, 15:38

Mrs RB is getting very bored with being a houswife.
does anyone know of any companies needing staff for general admin/reception type duties. She is on a 5 year Dependants Pass.
She speaks very good Engliah and is a native Russian speaker

whilst my information is admittedly dated, Lukoil used to have an office in the OCBC Centre, 65 Chulia Street in the CBD. i don't know if they're still in that location, but if anyone can use Russian speakers it would be them.

they still havnt filled it but its up to the Ambassador and she can never get to speak to him.

by **Scrummy Mummy** » 2nd Nov, '09, 22:27

Sounds typically bureaucratic for embassies

by **Rosbif71** » 3rd Nov, '09, 13:41

Yup, and their's is only a tiny embassy. job would have been ideal as the embassy is in Raffles Place and just around the corner from my office.

"would have been.."? sounds to me like she still has a chance! She should keep trying (while trying for other jobs of course)

by **Rosbif71** » 3rd Nov, '09, 18:39

she's not given up. she calls the consul there from time to time to see what is happening

by **Rosbif71** » 5th Feb, '10, 12:37

just updating this. The Mrs is still looking for work if anybody knows of any jobs going.

by **Rosbif71** » 19th Apr, '10, 13:40

bouncing it again!

Job found finally. It pays crap and is 6 days a week but its a job!

by **Snaffled** » 6th Jul, '10, 11:28

6 days a week? Is it a hotel?
Congrats to Mrs RB

yes Hotel Reservations, its what she did before we moved to Singapore.

Its not easy to find work on a Dependant's Pass and she is bored after 18months living a life of leisure.

Are you saying Mrs RB is a hotel? Or her job is a hotel? I think I'm going to stop my line of thought right there!

by **Bender** » 6th Jul, '10, 11:53

Congratulations to her! Is it a good property? In the right place it can be a fun job!

its one of the Orchard ROad business type hotels.
she's just happy to be back in work. and its usually easier to find a job when you are already in one

by **Snaffled** » 6th Jul, '10, 19:05

This 6 day a week thing in some hotels is uncivilised.

it certainly is and we don't even know which day of the week it will be.
if it doesnt really work she will stay for 6 months and then quit

by **Rosbif71** » 29th Jul, '10, 15:35

well that didnt last long.
working 6 days a week and then being told you have to work 2-3 hours extra each day

by **Tas** » 29th Jul, '10, 15:36

sounds like mainland Chinese hotel hours, minus a day

Bummer.

Is she interested in going (back?) to school? I'm starting back myself and at this point, looking at the work load, I have absolutely no fears of not having enough to do anymore :shock:

I think there are plenty of online based programs as well as non-online available here depending on her interests, of course.

by **Rosbif71** » 30th Jul, '10, 15:42

at the moment she's wanting to work. and the additional money would be useful

she had an interview for a job she really like the sound of this morning. she should hear back on monday. fingers crossed

Then she should not quit jobs just because there is a little bit of overtime required

by **Rosbif71** » 30th Jul, '10, 22:29

looks like she's got a new one already

will be confirmed on Monday
