ARILAS EXECUTIVE HOTELSo after checking out the salo i couldn't help but check it out. A few things i noticed are
1. The letter doesn't indicate the position being offered
2. The website looks bogus for such a "5"star hotel. Other than ask you to book for a room or apply for a job vacancy there are no other links such as restaurants in the hotel, services they have etc
3. There was no interview before the selection..
4.Lastly i used Google maps to search the location on the hotel and voila! couldn't find it.
Anyone out there with the same offer?
What is the end game here mimi sielewi??
Common sense is the most evenly distributed quantity in the world. Everyone thinks he has enough.
