PROFESSIONAL & HIGHLY SKILLED COUPLE
HOUSE MANAGERS/HOUSEKEEPER/SECURITY COUPLE (Current Employee), London, UK – June 3, 2012
Pros: recognition of hard work, good salary & accommodation, bonuses
Cons: long hours, short holidays, 24/7 on call
My partner and I would start the day off by liasing with our employer and to arrange and delegate various important tasks that are to be dealt with urgently.

We would then walk around the property pin pointing damage, cleanliness, ordering stock, laundry, food prep & standard cleanliness of the kitchens, liase with tradesmen and deliveries, security – more... and checking sign in book, check wine cellar and stock, meet and greet guests for meetings.

If an event was occuring we would prepare the house and organise areas such as ordering catering equipment & waiting staff, table plans & set up/lay out, polishing of cutlery/glasses, flower arrangements, candelabras, seating arrangements, canapes/champagne & menu plans, liase with the chef regards to meal timings. Meet and greet guests/guest list, cloakroom duties.

The hardest part of our job when looking after a large house is the security aspect. Checking who and when people are on site, night time walk round which would take up to 2hrs at a time.

The job as a domestic couple is rewarding in its own right. Knowing that we can put our own mark on the job that is asked of us to a very high standard. Ensuring the safety and protection of our employer. – less

Empresa agradável de trabalhar
Analista de Mídias Sociais (Current Employee), Campinas, SP – August 4, 2012
Pros: exemplo: refeição na empresa
Cons: exemplo: não fornece vale-refeição
O trabalho é tranquilo, é como um hobby.
A parte mais difícil eu diria que é a criatividade para atualizar as redes sociais.
