Yeah there’s a few of us here this season.

Did you end up getting your APSI cert? Do you want to teach? I can’t guarantee anything but I can put you in contact with the right people.

I know they have done their hiring for the season but you might get lucky. Maybe they will take you part-time over the Christmas break, which will get your foot in the door, or at the very least buy you some time to find another job.

I’m guessing you’ve tried - http://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/employment/jobs/index.htm

They manage most of the jobs working for the mountain, over the next month I’m sure they’ll have some openings with people who throw in the towel because it’s not what they expected.

Alternatively check out hotel websites for employment openings in housekeeping etc, but you may require a SIN in order to be eligble to apply for a job.

What kind of jobs are you looking for? Retail? Bar work?

FYI teaching in Whistler is way better than teaching at Thredbo.

I’m going to move this to Mountain and Travel soon. wink

yer im on the whistler blackcomb website everyday haha, mainly looking for retail because i know how to do that, barwork is hard to get plus i got no experiece in it.

dont worry if worse comes to worse i can always get my job back at the spagetti factory and at panoli’s haha

If I hear of anything in retail I’ll let you know. Make sure you hit us up when you get here so we can go for a shred.

Inside word on instructor jobs is that they have done hiring for the season.. They have an abundance of return staff and newbies starting over the next couple of weeks.. If the snow starts falling more and the people start booking lessons they might.. But ill let you know if i hear of anything from the inside..

yeah yeah for sure!!, we should get a boardworld gang session happening haha.

Just applied for the cashier and busser job for WB haha wish me luck boys!!!!!

who is in whis this season???

 

I’m currently in Taipei, stop-over on my way to Vancouver, and also jobless at this stage.

I made the mistake of organising my trip through Global Work & Travel (Ten Travel, they have 3 or 4 names). Useless.

We’ve got 5 days in Vancouver and then we were supposed to have jobs lined up but they have yielded nothing for us. My mate and I are only staying until March though.

Met a guy on his way to Canada on the plane over, he said he could probably get us lifty jobs at Castle Mountain Resort (Alberta) but we’ll see.

Perhaps I’ll see some of you guys around!
