Resort Jobs
Now who can argue with working in some of the most beautiful locations and for some of the most amazing resorts in the world?
Rental and Retail Shop Workers - Resorts almost always have shops for people who have forgotten something on their vacation as well as rental shops for boogie boards, surfboards, bicycles and other sporting equipment. Being an attendant in one of these shops is a good way to work your way into resort style living while enjoying a good job.
Guest Services - Working at the front desk, as a concierge or becoming a member of the bell staff is a great way to find work at a resort over the summer.
Cleaning Crew - Resorts are clean, and need to be kept that way. Consider becoming a member of the cleaning crew and work cleaning private rooms, event rooms, bungalows, gyms, common rooms and eating areas.
Food Service - Serving is a great way to make money, enjoy resort style living and earn tips. With all the meals, snacks and services resorts provide for guests, finding a job as a server or a member of the food staff is a great place to look.
Bartender - Bartending at a resort is one of the most sought after positions. Short shifts, great tips, a social atmosphere and mornings off mean that this is one of the best summer jobs you can find at a resort. While it might be hard to procure, you can find one if you’re experienced and look early.
Security - Resorts pride themselves on being a safe and secure place for guests. Working the gate, event security and other areas where safety or privacy is important to guests is a good summer job opportunity.
Event Staff - Teaching events, classes or working to make sure events go smoothly is a fun way to enjoy a social summer while working at a resort.
Gym Staff - Resorts with gyms offer classes, personal trainers and health events regularly. This is a great way to stay fit, enjoy the resort and make money over the summer.
Entertainment - Dances, singing, magic and other styles of entertainment are a great way to enjoy your summer while working at a resort. While these jobs are typically harder to procure because of their competitive nature, with a strong work ethic and by starting your search early the job could be yours.
Lifeguards - Many resorts have water sports or offer some sort of swimming. As such, lifeguards are needed seasonally to ensure the safety of guests.
Instructors - Teaching classes or giving instruction such as diving, windsurfing, rock climbing, dancing and yoga is a great way to enjoy your favorite activity while working a resort summer job.
Resorts have the same staffing needs as hotels but to a larger degree. Resorts are typically listed as such because they provide something extra in the way of activities, location or in their amenities. Thus, the opportunity to find work at a resort can be high during the summer. Remember though, that the allure of working for a resort is also high and the job hunt can be rather competitive during the summer.
