| Remember |
If you claim to be fluent in 3 languages, you will be tested at interview.
Don't be too liberal with the truth.
The people interviewing you have probably done seasons themselves, so will
be a good source of advice.
They will also be able to spot a "porky-pie" a mile
away, so stick to what you know. |

| The Interview |
Go with an idea of where you want to work (don't pick somewhere that is
not in their brochure!).
Personality - most jobs will include a lot of client contact, so make sure
your social skills shine.
Have a look at the company web site or brochure before the interview.
If you are interviewed for a chalet position, make sure you know how to
cook the meals on your menu plan...
A lot of tour operator interviews will be in a group and you will be asked
to introduce yourself to everyone. Have a couple of interesting facts about
yourself ready to dazzle the group with.
Be confident, but not cocky.
Be clean and smart - leave the grunge dude look for resort.
You will be asked if you have any questions - have a few questions ready
for the interviewer.
Check out what is included in your wage package: accommodation,
lift pass (local or area), travel to resort, food, equipment hire etc.
Do
you have to pay a deposit for the uniform? Will they keep a retainer from
your wages during the season? Ask about training provided. What will your
role involve? |
