Hi! I found these forums and they look really informative. I've done a lot of reading but have some rather specific questions.
I am 26, English, have 2 years restaurant management experience (for large, high volume, restaurant chains), and am looking at Food & Beverage Manager positions. As I have a few questions I will keep it organised:
1) Firstly the salaries look very good, at just over 40,000USD per year. Is this realistic or are the adverts I am looking at not 100% genuine?
2) My fiancé is going to be studying for her masters degree (obviously distance learning!), is it generally possible for her to come with me? Obviously regarding provided accom & meals.
3) As she is wanting time to study can she work in a resort on a more part time basis?
4) As an F&B manager what level of accommodation/food would I be looking at? Also would I likely have access to a bar (not essential), and resort activities? Diving/restaurants etc.
5) It would be nice to spend time with my fiancé! How many hours would my typical working day/week consist of?
I know I could get a lot of this information from a potential employer but I would like to go into an application knowing what to expect.
Also I appreciate some people are saying living in a resort is really boring, but we are very happy with our own company, aren't looking for much to do (would be happy with snorkeling/occassional activities, spare time is time to study) and I guess the resort would have the internet?
Thank you for your time reading, I would appreciate any insight on just a couple of these questions, so don't worry if you aren't sure on all of them.
