Thai restaurant in Nagoya City Center, Japanese owner (owns two Thai restaurants). She went in with with the copies of green card (permanent resident), health insurance card, picture of the whole family and my business card.
After seeing that, rather than talking much, "What food can you make within few minutes?" She made some Thai food, the owner ate it and she got the job.
Works from 11 am to 5pm, the pay is 320THB per hour (1,960THB per 6 hours day) and they pay the train to and from work.
Works out some 40,000 THB per month, 2 guaranteed days off, Wednesdays and Sundays. The kind of money foreigners in Thai have to produce as a proof for visa extension. Being under my wing, fully legal and insured (pension included), no rent, she can get by. Try to save 40,000THB (1,000 EUR) a month, then it becomes significant family contribution.
This is what she does, as "chef assistant", not a kitchen hand
