Do you know there's a huge gap between these 2 positions? It takes years of experience as well as qualifications to get from a captain to a f&B manager. <BR/><BR/>I graduated from Glion hotel school which is a reputable hotel school in Switzerland, had 3 years working experience in switzerland, thailand and vietnam (which is nothing I admit) and still I don't think I'm qualified yet to be a F&B manager.<BR/><BR/>Second, the GM of Sofitel Metropole was 100% right when he said you shouldn't ask about working hour. Mind you, working as a mid management or senior management in our industry is long and odd hour. Yea sure the labour law is 8 hours per day and 5 days per week but do you think a f&B manager would work with that kind of schedule? I myself work 12-13 hours per day, 6 days per week and I'm not even a F&B manager!

Vietnam is a long way away from having the great service. Don't get me wrong, the staff are usually really nice and friendly but the hotel owner doesn't always know how to provide exceptional customer service. The same thing applies to Vietnamese restaurants in America - horrible service!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10523524.post-35017792131976495932007-02-18T14:13:00.000+07:002007-02-18T14:13:00.000+07:00Why should the Vietnamese govt protect their citiz...Why should the Vietnamese govt protect their citizens?

This is not silly talk, nor is it about being "righteous." Although it is good that foreign companies chose to bring jobs to Vietnam, it does not give them the right to exploit workers who would work under almost any circumstance because of their dire situation. It is unjust that the communist government of VN does not enforce labor laws to protect its citizens, that workers cannot establish labor unions, and that workers lack recourse to their grievances. What can the average person do? I think this blog is a good start. You need to continue to speak up and expose that people and places that are guilty of this kind of exploitation. What about an email drive? I'm sure that the internet is a good way to spread the word. If these businesses care about their reputation and about their customers, they'll eventually listen and change their unjust practices. Good luck with your job hunt.<BR/>BinhAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10523524.post-1170367997834507512007-02-02T05:13:00.000+07:002007-02-02T05:13:00.000+07:00Sorry here about your interview situation.

Large foreign establishments should provide for better working conditions than what is currently in VN and not use the status quo as an excuse for exploiting their workers. I sympathize with your situation and hope that you will have better luck with another employer. Unfortunately, work is work and as long as you can clothe and feed yourself I find that to be a blessing. Good luck with the job search and may the new year bring with it new opportunites and experiences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10523524.post-1170353821011750812007-02-02T01:17:00.000+07:002007-02-02T01:17:00.000+07:00"human rights" or in your case employee rights sou..."human rights" or in your case employee rights sound good and righteous when we are all well fed and happy and talking about it while enjoying our $100 wine over a $200 steak dinner in the Western world. A country like Vietnam with an average income of less than $100/month would sound silly to talk about human rights. It always piss me off every time i heard my friends/colleagues talking about how bad the workers are being treated in VN. If Nike and/or any big Western firms will move their factory elesewhere if they couldn't get their shoes manufacturing for less than $2/pair and sell it for $80, than in what way or right do we have to talk about "human rights" in Vietnam. I sympathize for your job searching situation. But life in general in VN is getting better. Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
