A move to Penang
Hi there,
My husband and I are contemplating a move to Penang and I was hoping to find out some information about work there for me (we'd be moving there for my husband's job). We currently live in Qatar where I work full-time for an international company as an Executive Assistant. I was wondering what the chances are of finding a similar role in Penang are or at least be able to work? After some initial searches for jobs on various websites to get an idea of things, it seems that a knowledge of local languages are essential a number of jobs. Can anyone shed some light on the work situation in Penang? Any information would be hugely appreciated.
Many thanks.

Re: A move to Penang
Penang has quite a number of thriving industries, particularly manufacturing. If you're looking for a role where you can speak English, you should consider the Hotel line, as there are quite a few expats working there. The Hard Rock Hotel has just openend, try there.
