The woman, Reshma Begum, had vowed never again to work in a garment factory after she was rescued from the wreckage of the eight-story Rana Plaza building, where 1,129 people were killed in April in the deadliest disaster in the history of the garment industry.

Ms. Begum, whose tale of survival in a wide pocket under the debris has made her a celebrity in Bangladesh, fielded job offers from many companies before accepting work at the Westin Hotel in Dhaka, said Maj. Gen. Chowdhury Hasan Suhrawardy, the local military chief overseeing her care.

The Westin’s manager, Azim Shah, said Ms. Begum would work in the housekeeping department as a “public area ambassador.” Hotel officials said she would talk to guests, but they did not elaborate on her responsibilities.

The authorities at the military hospital where Ms. Begum was treated said she had recovered fully, and she looked fine on Thursday as she spoke briefly to the news media.

“I am O.K. now, doing fine,” she said. “I am grateful to everybody.”

She then left the hospital in a silver van headed for the hotel.

Ms. Begum, who earned $60 a month at one of the factories in Rana Plaza, injured her head in the collapse.

She survived in the refuge under the rubble by rationing out cookies and water she had with her.

The Rana Plaza tragedy has created global pressure for change in the Bangladeshi garment industry.
