I don't have any experience but is that reasonable? Is it okay if demand for higher salary or should i grab no matter what? also they offer me free accommodation, Meals, transportation (from point of hiring), medical care. By the way I'm a filipino and the position is guest service agent at sheraton doha. I expect the filipino folks out there to answer my question but other nationalities are also welcome.

And kindly give me some tips. I'll be a newbie at qatar soon.
thanks a lot

I was working in the same position at the Sheraton, from 2003 my salary was 1200qr, after 3 years it is become 1300qr,with a lot of responsibilities, cash, guest's complains, loose of money ,you will pay from your pocket for any of yours or somebody mistakes. Also your working hours is going to be continue from 9 to 12 and longer, for any extra hour you made you will get paid only 3-5 real, some time nothing. Well if you need good experience, you will get it there, it is like in the army, however you will decide, forget about easy promotion within 3-4,5,6 years, or better salary it is never happen in Sheraton

1300 is very low salary grade in Qatar. Nothing can you do with that salary amount.. except you take it as jumping stone to other better job

this salary equals 16000 pesos, I do not know if that is good for you.

Have you missed a zero ? 1300 or 13000QAR? If 1300QAR, not at all a good offer. You won't be saving any amount. Accept only if you desperately need job.
