Whistler Job Offer Received!!!

After just over three weeks of anxious waiting, my official job offer from Whistler Blackcomb finally came through…. I’ll be a Ticket Validation Host for the 2013/2014 season!

It wasn’t my first choice, but I couldn’t start early enough for some of the other jobs I would have preferred in the Guest Services department. I’m so happy to have finally received and offer and know for sure that ill be living and working in Whistler baby! 4th November is my start date, so we’re looking at flights for 28th October to have a few days in Vancouver first!

Kyle hasn’t officially got his job offer yet, but has definitely got one within the food and beverage department.

We will be booking our one way ticket to Vancouver today 🙂 (one smiley face doesn’t even half cover how excited I am!)

5 Months to Go

I probably shouldn’t be starting a countdown til we go to Canada already, but now we’re in June it means it’s now just less than 5 months! It’s not actually that far away and it’s literally all I’m thinking about. As I said in my last post, we’ve signed up The Working Holiday Club to sort our jobs before we go, and I had my pre-screen interview by them last week. Basically, they just needed to check that I meet the criteria and find out what job I wanted to go for and they have to agree too before we go for an interview with Whistler Blackcomb in London in July.

I’d decided I didn’t want to do bar or retail work as I’m leaving a job I love in Marketing to do this, so I don’t want to completely lose 6-ish months of experience in the industry. A job as a Ski & Snowboard Sales Host seemed to fit the bill and The Working Holiday Club thought I’d be good for that job (he described it as one of the only ‘grown up’ jobs you can do on the mountain) so that’s the job I’m going to be going for. The job sounds pretty good, though I’m not actually too sure what it entails but it’s an office job on the mountain where I’ll be working 4 10 hour shifts a week, so have 3 days off a week – perfect!
