"I still stay that I feel sorry for your wife to be married to an arrogant and an ungrateful creature like u."

That's why she & her family still shower me with small gifts like lands etc.

"I warned him once" - who care about a warning given by a backbone less bloated soul like you sitting behind the screen.

Charan if u r trying to prove that I am a coward, then quit it. Tell u what, I will forgive u for your dumb actions and let u go and be the bigger person that I am. Take care of yourself and grow up if u can. Pyce out.

"u r not worth it" but you are worth Gold in your weight (more 100 lbs)and deserve a free stay in a Government Hotel with free food & Drinks.

Please be kind enough to take it. it will fullfill your challange also.

This is an offer you can not refuse. very tempted right :)

I asked him twice to stop politely and I warned him once, but he doesnt seem to understand a human language. It's a shame that we have people who have no self respect in Ql. Anyways, I dont want to go down to his pathetic level and roll in dirt or dig a puddle for bone, thats his job. I have better more "HUMANLY" things to do, so I'm out of here.

go to fil-expat section of this forum. more kabayans can help you there.

the offer is low compared to other secretaries here. but still, you cant get that kind of salary in the phils and its tax free.

it depends in your lifestyle also. if you love to dine-out and shop, stay there.

simply you challanged me and I challanged you if you dare. Now without facing the challange as a man you want to run with the tail between your legs.

I didn't bring your ladies here although you brought my wife's name here several times and if I do that it will be very nasty.

Remember Free stay in Goverment Hotel is welcoming you :)

A drunk guy staggers into a Catholic church and sits down in a confession box and says nothing.

The bewildered priest coughs to attract his attention, but still the man says nothing.

The priest then knocks on the wall three times in a final attempt to get the man to speak.

Finally, the drunk replies, "No use knocking mate, there's no paper in this one either...

janeyjaney i dont think what qatarisun said smacks of racism...what she's talking about is mostly factual but I think to say that a filipina can "never ever" get a 15k job, there I dont agree. And I know a lot of Westerners whose English is far from perfect.

Qatarisun this Personal Assist. friend of yours who Im assuming is the "decoration" one... dang I want her job ;-)

Eduria, you are a graduate in Business Administration? Set your sights higher. Id advise you to get some experience in your country in a position more aligned to your educational background and then apply her, cause switching jobs is not easy here (No offence to Secretaries, please dont misunderstand me).

hey janey.. if you could read, you could see that what i am saying is that a native-english speaker has definite preference.. is THAT clear??? and the gal who came from UK (USA, whatever) has an experience in the WESTERN environment.. no need to teach her. SHE will bring into the company a western style, just because she doesn't know any other one… and that’s what Qatari company wants! it that clear?

so eventually the western gal possesses a better set of skills, which is desirable for the Company! (FROM THE COMPANY's POINT OF VIEW!!! NOT MINE ONE!!)

it’s NOT about the PASSPORT! it is about the SKILLS!

clear??

FS, i don't say they hire based on skin color.

what I say is… it is a MARKET issue.

...for 15K-secretary it definitely will be a high competition, where native-english gals are way ahead than anyone else... i hope you agree.. Because: 1. Their English is perfect; 2. They have an experience in the WESTERN business environment (and that’s what Qatari companies want to get!); they DO want to apply for 15K-secreatry position. That’s why they will be given this position!

For 7-8K-secreatry position, there is much less competition from the side of the western gals.. so, here there is a CHANCE for other nationalities to grab this position.. whoever is more skilled, whoever is better looking (yes! And that one too!), whoever is luckier, that one gets the position..

For 3,5-5K-secreatry position there is no competition among the westerns (they better stay home in this case)...so the position will be given to whoever agree.. and company WILL find one who will accept it! Even for 3000K! even for 2500! Be surprised!

That’s why for the tenth time I ask that girl: if she can find something similar in her country, it’s better for her to stay there. If she wants to face some challenges, to get some life experience, to give a try to her future (maybe she is so good, that she will get increase in 3-5 months! Who knows??) , why not??

if she HAS NO choice.. why not to try??

Mr. Charan, you still have the habit of sleeping in a straw mat on the floor, That old straw mat that you brought here from your country, probably is infested with fleas and who knows what!

If you can get a job with that much salary in your country, then stay there. But try to get a better offer here. 750 is too low to even get you a bed space. The rent for a studio is around 4000 riyals.

Loulsy.. knowing different cases from your surrounding doesn't mean this is the common situation.. I know someone (Personal Assistant) who lives in Beverly Hills apartment and pays only for the utilities, and driving the newest Mercedes, which she didn't pay a penny for, and travelling only with the First class and stays only in the top hotels.. does it mean every P.A. gets the same?? ha! ...

that's why i asked eduria, if she can get similar job with the similar salary in her country. If she does have a choice, of course it's much better to stay there. If she does not have a choice and want to try herself with some challenge, why not to give it a try??

FS, no need to correct me.... I didn’t say there is no secretarial jobs for 15K…

sorry for pointing on it.. but those who are getting "more than 15K" are definitely of DIFFERENT nationality, with different experience, different set of skills, and.. ok.. leave the last one alone...

I am NOT a racist, but what i know is 24 y.o. filipina can never ever get 15K for the secretary position. She would never be hired for this position. Not because she is bad or even not because she is a philipina... Very simple: if for the position of 15K apply two persons: philipina and a UK chick with perfect English, western business experience, and other advantages, i think you know who the preference will be given to. On the other hand, even if the range for the certain position is let’s say 7000-15000, they will offer 15000 to the western and only 7000 to philipina....

btw, we have discussed this issue a million times already....

1. Whether you want to live in Qatar at all.

Yes. at least she gets a visa to stay here. Her country people spend a lot of money just to secure a business visa to enter Qatar.

2. Whether you can find similar job with similar salary in your country?

No Way. That why she wants to come here ;)

noway.

so , eduria, you have to consider two things:

1. Whether you want to live in Qatar at all.

2. Whether you can find similar job with similar salary in your country?

If the answers are "yes" and "no", so go ahead. But be aware, it is a low salary, and your lifestyle will be as low as your salary.
