Having worked in the hospitality trade for a number of years, when I was looking at moving to Asia to support my husband’s career, I was concerned about whether I would be able to find employment in local hotels as I had been accustomed to doing at home.  I decided the best way to look for opportunities might be to conduct a variety of internet searches based on where I was likely to be living.  My husband’s job was likely to be moving him to Dubai or Singapore or somewhere in the Persian Gulf, so I tried looking for the search terms  ‘hotel jobs dubai’, ‘hospitality jobs singapore’ and ‘hotel jobs gulf’, and fortunately found a website called www.asiacaterer.com, which provided me with vacancies in the area.

There are so many different hospitality jobs that I had to think about whether I wanted to work in a slightly different workplace from the traditional English hotels that had always employed me in the past.  The Asian hospitality industry offered possibilities in large hotels, resorts, casino hotels and more.  I had been a deputy hotel manager for a number of years, and I also had to consider whether it might be the right time to try a different role.  I thought about taking a role with less pressure, such as a front desk clerk, or moving into a specific part of the industry, and perhaps becoming a hotel restaurant manager.  Scanning the results of my hotel jobs gulf search, I began to think that as moving to a new continent might be a rather stressful and challenging, it probably would be a good idea to go for a hotel job which was rather less demanding, perhaps as a restaurant manager.  This would mean that I was less likely to have to work antisocial hours, as there aren’t too many hotel restaurants that remain open throughout the night, when as an on duty manager I would have to be present.

Having earmarked a number of vacancies before the move, I was in a good position to start contacting hotels about the jobs I was interested in very soon after I arrived in Singapore.  I was invited for six interviews and managed to receive job offers for two of the roles I applied for, which I was really pleased about.

I would definitely advise anybody else who was relocating to have a look for hotel jobs dubai or hospitality jobs Singapore as I did, and make sure you scope out potential roles before you move.  There are so many hotel jobs Gulf that it certainly makes a difference if you can familiarise yourself with the potential opportunities while you are still on home turf.
