Club Med Phuket

Hi all ,

I've been called on phone last friday by a Mr. Ade from CM indo to go for an interview in Jakarta on wednesday (24th june) regarding a position as a GO in CM Phuket. noww... I have mixed feelings about this interview.. excited , curious , nervous .. I wonder if anyone wants to share their experience as a GO in phuket or their interview experience..

and most importantly ...wish me luck !

regards,
b

Good Luck icewolfe.

We haven't been to Phuket but hope to go there soon, maybe we will see you there.

We love Club Med Lindeman Island.... Especially Michael Bar!

Hey thanks Griswolds!

Hope to see you all in Phuket too!... IF I get the job.. and could agree on the salary. I just called the interviewer again and he told me IF I get the job, I'll be on 3 months training programme and will be transferred immediately. I didnt ask him about the salary yet coz it seemed inappropriate at that time. Anyway, I'll know more this wednesday.. I just hope the salary is not below the starting off salary of some which I read here .. I'll totally bail if they offer me 200 usd per month :-P. Other than that issue I'm still totally excited! cheers

Hi, I just got back from the interview for a set designer GO position. It went quite well until I showed the interviewer my animation showreel he basically told me that I overqualify and they could only pay me x amount. I told him it doesnt really matter, as I'm looking for the experience and money is not really an issue. He told me to reconsider and called him again if I'm still interested. Now... I wonder if there's some set designer GO or XGO here who can help me with some questions that's been bugging me since the interview...

1. how much carpentry stuff should i expect to do? I can do basic nail/plank stuff and know a bit about structure and constuction.. but IF i have to do a whole wooden massive set alone .. it's just impossible .. ( I designed and supervised some stage for international and local events.. and the contractor used 20-30 people for a 24 hour deadline)
2. what is the basic work scope for a set designer? let's say I've painted some huge banner and backdrop, should i attach them myself on the top wall and ceiling with no help? I can do the painting, but if I have to attach them alone. at odd hours with no help..
3. the decor doesnt have to be made of wood .. does it? there's many other materials that's lighter and easier to handle .. the end justify the means.. cloth, styroform and paper could make an amazing backdrop too
4.will i get a raise once i finish my 3 months training? okay okay I know its not much but hey who's gonna pay for my drinks?
5.can i still perform if i'm in charge of the set design?
6. why no more free bar books??????
that's all for now.... i'll ask more later .. reply if u can, people.. need to contact that guy again soon .. thanks in advance

ps. any chance PUR the indonesian set designer in Phuket reading this forum? argh I'm seriously thinking about calling him personally and ask him these questions...

dear icewolfe

the best way to get the answers to your question is probably to experience a club med resort near you if the cost is not too expensive

Good luck !
