The answer

A woman's work in data collection via phone is permissible, provided certain conditions are met: not speaking in a soft or alluring manner, and limiting speech to what is necessary. Advertising job vacancies in hotels and tourism is not absolutely forbidden; rather, the ruling depends on the nature of the work itself and any Sharia prohibitions that might arise from it. Working at the airport in coordinating passenger services is permissible, provided Sharia prohibitions like lowering the gaze are observed, unless one fears temptation for oneself.
