There have been many scams going around concerning work opportunities in hotels. I don't know how you have heard about this job offer, but if you got an email offering you employment, then it is possibly a scam.
If you 'google' the words, "Oxford Hotel scams" through a search engine, then you will find many stories about scams regarding job opportunities at that hotel. Sorry to be the one to deflate your balloon, but you should thoroughly check it out, and my guess is that the sender will require some sort of fees from you, which the scammer may try to conceal by callling them travel bureau fees or fees to get you a work visa. Those are the most common ways that the scammers use to get money out of people.
You can also contact the hotel directly, and ask them if they have job opportunities. Most hotels have their own websites these days. Find it online, and send them an email.

I did get a PM today from "jobincanada" telling me about the offer. The paragraph is full of misspelled words, and incorrect punctuation, and wrong English grammer. It appears to me to be an African scammer. I have seen trash like this before.
The person has been banned.

There have been a whole lot of scammers lurking in the Forum in the past month. Since March first, I have banned 27 scammers. That is almost one per day. Everyone.....please remember to be careful. Do not click on any highlighted words in any posts because those are links to the scammers sites. That could be a path to infect your computer with a virus or trojan that will steal all of your personal information, including your passwords. if you get a PM, then be wary of the person who sent it. Unless you know them from their posts, please be cautious. There will not be any job offers in the Forum....unless it comes from me.

In closing I would lke to wish all of you a very Happy Easter. May God guide and protect you always.

Take care everyone and God bless!!!

Thinking about it - I suppose the main site is all Situations Vacant

The following has been adapted from a Job Description I found on the internet.

HUSBAND JOB DESCRIPTION :
Long term, team player needed, for challenging permanent work in an often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call.
Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities!
Travel expenses not reimbursed.
Extensive courier duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES :
The rest of your life.
Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until suitable expensive compensation received.
Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly.
Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf.
Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets, minor car repairs and maintenance.
Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next.
Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices.
Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
Must assume final, complete accountability for everything.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION :
None.
Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE :
None required unfortunately.
On-the-job training offered via constant ambiguous and indirect hints.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION :
Get this! You pay them!
With occasional raises and bonuses.
The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

BENEFITS :
While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth, unconditional love, and free hugs and kisses for life if you play your cards right.

A friend received an email with a list of 'jobs' available at the Oxford Hotel. They wanted lots of personal information. Compare the amateur nature of the letter with the professional official Hotel website and you get suspicious.

Also the Hotel uses btinternet as its email address, the letter used Yahoo.

The point of this post is just to say if you get any job offers in the West from @Yahoo @hotmail @live @gmail etc email addresses be very very suspicious.

Well done Ruffa - you did the right thing checking on the forum.

Unfortunately there are some evil people out there who at best will just steal money or your identity, at worst lure you into enforced prostitution. Please Please be careful.
