Unfortunately yes, you will be prejudged by your appearance. Most hotel reception jobs are filled by asians (mostly Philippino that I've observed) and you would not be offered a wage similar to positions in Australia.

There are several vet practices here run by European or Western vets or educated there - you may have some luck with them.

Getting work once you arrive means you're at the mercy of the sponsor (probably no flight, accomodation or other allowances provided and they might not hire you if they have to sponsor you - a lot prefer to do local hires that are sponsored by their husbands)
