Description
I'm Aaron ,Our hostel in heart of George Town, Penang. In our hostel we have 3 workers now included myself, me in the role of hostel manager and we have staff for the housekeeper and receptionist.
I already have a lot of experience in the hospitality industry, but as I don't have enough capacity to do all the things myself, I need some helping hands to get everything ready and up and running smooth.
We're looking for people who can stay for minimum two weeks, help out mainly with reception duties and socializing with guests and helping around the house.
We also welcome artists that could make our place like a little more cozy playing music etc.
