How to find ski season jobs like bar or chef roles?

I'm really interested in working during the ski season. Does anyone have tips on finding seasonal jobs in ski resorts, like working as a bar staff or chef? Wondering if it's a good way to spend my break!

Securing a seasonal job at a ski resort can indeed be a great way to spend your break, blend work with opportunities for leisure, and even gain some unique work experience.

To find these opportunities, here are few steps you might consider:

1. Visit Resort Websites: Start by identifying ski resorts you're interested in and visit their websites. Many resorts have a career section where they list available positions, including seasonal jobs. Some well-known ski resorts include Vail Resorts, Aspen Skiing Company, and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

2. Utilize Job Sites: Websites like Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor periodically post seasonal job vacancies in ski resorts. Customizing your search to "seasonal ski resort jobs" could yield a decent range of potential roles.

3. Networking: Reach out to individuals who've had similar roles. They might have tips on where to look, what to expect during the application process, and how to increase your chances of landing this kind of job.

4. Job Fairs: Some resorts and companies organize job fairs (either virtual or in-person) ahead of the ski season where they actively recruit for several positions. Keep an eye out for these events.

5. Catering and Hospitality Agencies: For chef or bar staff roles specifically, consider reaching out to catering or hospitality agencies that may contract with ski resorts.

Remember to apply early, clearly demonstrate any relevant experience (especially if you have hospitality experience for bar or chef roles), and explicitly express your interest and availability during the ski season. One more tip—having a friendly, energetic personality can be a bonus as many of these jobs have a customer-service aspect to them. Good luck!
