I got in touch with someone called him self Benson. I breifly introduced my self and politely asked few more details about the job. Like what kind of hotel and where is it. Ive got an ansver: send your CV first. Then I requested again : name, location or official website of hotel. I got answer again: send your CV first.
I said Im not going to send my CV to whom, somewhere,I dont know where for what?
No answer.
My question is: Is it a real job position or they just fishing for laowai CVs to show it up in their work agency portfolio? If they r agency, why didnt say so? Why not providing any further info ( what kind of hotel, how many starrs hotel etc. ) ? If the r just looking for some monkeys behind the counter of their hotel, why not try monkey agency? They r looking for improving their services, well they should start from the emails then, learn how not to be rude.

Sounds fishy to me. You were right you what you asked and said. If they can't even tell you the name of the hotel that to me is a red flag.
Thats the 2nd time I see the same ad but by 2 diff people. Beware!!!
It is probably an employment agency recruiting on behalf of a hotel chain. Or a local hotel where nobody speaks English and need an intermediary to post a job ad in English on here. If the latter it will not even be a proper agency, but some carpetbagger. Real job, but not the employer directly.
I see the same stuff for teaching jobs.
The agent does not want people contacting hotels directly. They don't want to say that they are an agency, as people will try to bypass them, and other people don't like to go via an agency.
The agency probably is looking after service to the client, but often forget that the potential candidates are also customers and not just the commodity. Or if some carpetbagger just getting pissy because they think someone else will get their finger in the pie. The pie that they alone are 'entitled' to.
As for rudeness, they may be in a recruitment agency on commission only doing a crap job for no money (no commission earned). Maybe they should have paid more attention in school (I am in a hard bastard mood today).
Can people work on a student visa? They did specifically ask for students. Is that because they don't know the rules or they are hoping to hire people who don't know the rules?
Degree students can do unpaid internship if their university gives them official permission. Also working part-time for the univ at which they study is permited under certain conditions.
So in this case my guess would be they are looking for students who will come for few hours, take cash and won't ask about anything.
This Ad was actually a trap from a local university, to see whether their foreign students would reply to the Ad and thus incriminate themselves.
@Spartans: not doubting you but how do you know?
In Shanghai they did make it legal for students to do limited part time work, if agreed by the university. My memory is not 100% but it may have been limited to F&B industry jobs. This was a few years ago, and the regulation may have been rolled out to other provinces.
I think that the rationale was that these were jobs that the international hotels could not easily fill locally. Jobs like waiter, where English was needed. Although there are many Shanghainese with good English, F&B jobs are rarely undertaken by Shanghainese. They consider it beneath them.
Also F&B jobs in hotels are often paid at local rates, even for foriegners. Some students may do this for resume experience and pocket money.
