However, as certain positions are very popular you must consider listing a number of different preferences. Remember, flexibility is an attractive trait for all employers!
What kind of people are you looking for?
Our Canadian resort partners love the European work attitude, and that’s what we expect you to show while over there. As long as you are hardworking, outgoing, friendly, eager to be in Canada, and are available for the whole season, you should not have any problems.
While some jobs require certain skills and experience, many provide full training on site. Cash handling experience is an advantage if applying for ticket sales positions, while bar or waitstaff experience is beneficial for hospitality roles. Customer service skills are highly valued and can be useful in almost any position.
