Gainful(ish) Employment - Woop!

I have a job! Yay :D

Having already turned down one job (which seemed rather ill-advised up until this point) and missed out on Guest Services up at Cypress Mountain, I spent all of Saturday at job fairs for the other two mountains nearby.

I've yet to hear from Grouse. It sounds like it would be a good place to work - they pay better than Cypress and have more advanced skiing than Seymour, but ultimately I'm really pleased I got the job at Seymour. It may be the more 'family friendly' resort, but right at this moment i'm no expert skiier anyway. Mainly I'm pleased because I think the people I'm working with will be really good to work with. I got passed on to them by the Guest Services interviewers who thought I might fit their bill (and that they would have more fulltime work), and what started as an interview ended up being quite a nice chat. I think It's always a good sign when things go that way.

So at some point in the next month (hopefully a couple of weeks) I will take up a position on the Snow School Lessons desk at Mount Seymour. What's more, I've discovered that one of the girls from my flight will also be working there, so there will be another friendly face around to start with :)

Admittedly, the one disadvantage of this job is that I can't start it until it snows, but forecasters are predicting an early, cold wet winter this year, which is not something I usually hope for, but since that =snow, all fingers are crossed. Of course the flip side of the snow thing is that I get complimentary skiing/snow boarding for the whole season and massive discounts on equipment :D I shall keep you posted on my progress therein.

In the mean time I shall be out agency-hunting inforce to fill in some of my now spare time (alongside exploring a bit more, of course).
