Each
year, we begin our hiring
process with announcements published on Craigslists in Alaska and outdoor towns throughout the western US. In a
series
of announcements, we solicit applications from lodgeworkers, kitchen
staff, maintenance personnel and housekeeping specialists. In
general,
we request that interested applicants submit their comprehensive applications to us online
at aklodgejobs@gmail.com.
This mailbox allows us sufficient mailbox
capacity to handle all of the attachments that an applicant cares to
submit. And no, we never supply applicants with a "canned" application
format. We prefer seeing your individuality and creativity!!
While the majority of our hiring occurs during
the
first
quarter of each calendar year, we do review applications
throughout the year as they are received and often make early and mid-year hires to fill unexpected
openings or to "lock in" special applicants.
Over the years, we have
observed that virtually all of our
successful
applicants have submitted detailed resumes that were crafted to our
specific needs rather than using a tired old, generic form resume.
These successful
applications typically include previous
employer
references, personal references from people who know the applicant
(and,
preferrably, who we also know), and have included other information
that provide insight into the
applicant's personality and special skills. For example, mindful of the
saying that a picture can be worth a thousand words, several successful
cook and chef
applicants have also included pictures of their various culinary
creations with their applications.
If you are interested in
joining for
our 2016
staff, please submit a detailed application to aklodgejobs@gmail.com
along with
as many attachments as you believe may be helpful to our hiring process.
