@Bruce ********

what staff do you keep and what do you pay them ?

@Sasi ***********

strange bunch. I know of a few people, men and women, taking what work they can, 200-400 for odd jobs, short days. But when I ask for people to work (non-essential stuff) there's a stand off on wage. Yesterday they worked happily for 400, but today won't go for less than 1000. I refuse, not being extorted, and these guys end up with no work all day, and poor once again. Following days they will go to work for 300-400 again. I've also seen some taxi drivers and other trades only take a job or customer as long as its farang, and they are overcharging or scamming even, often losing the job/customer due to this, ending up with nothing.

@JD ******

that's a very unspecific measure of ......ANYTHING really. 280 pages of what? Any picture pages ? Novel about what ? Published by who ? Paperback sales figures since release ? Nominated for the International Booker Prize award ? The Pulitzer award ? Translated into how many languages ? But how much you pay your maid ?

@Regina *********

I doubt she's doing 8am-5pm with a lunch break, 7 days a week.. more likely a slow saunter pace of work for an hour or two, disappear for an hour or two, reappear for another hours work, then another break, and unless you request something, you won't see them until morning now. She ain't doing 8 hours hard graft.

@David ********

and they give it to their gang master, who quickly smokes it and gambles it online. So think again, before pulling moves like that. Also that adds to inflation

....

@Mark *******

"live in" so with accommodation included. Although, if I could find a lady that did all I wanted, as I wanted, when I wanted, she could be worth 30k/month (with deduction for accommodation).. but nobody wants to work, ok be poor.. Of those that do, most don't want to drive "up the mountain" of a hill, 170m above sea-level, ok be poor. Those few that start work don't see the end of day 1 due to a gross misconduct. Ok, be poor. Those that finish day 1, never come back.

@Per ********

yes, if you bought in 2009 and had balls to hold on. But as of today and into the future ?

@Frances *******

equally as difficult for some 45 year old too.......

@Frances *******

yes, you just would've thought they'd make ANY application type form compatible with current phones, as that's how 95% of people will 'want' to apply. A growing number of those will 'need' to apply by phone, as they no longer have a PC at home, or within easy reach.

I don't think there is much point in telling you, but you must ensure any documents uploaded are of a certain criteria, such as file type, and FILE SIZE. Your assistant may need to convert photos/images into PDF, and reduce the file size further still.
