Staff Member(s) needed at Seth Stisher's Training Center

[Sethski]

In case any one is looking or knows of someone looking, I am trying to find the right person for this season at my place in Charleston. I need someone with skiing experience and driving experience of course. They also need to have some decent waterski knowledge, however the main ingredient is that they are outgoing, personable, and hard working.

 

Post here or email me at bookings@skiseth.com, or call me at 866.213.7993.

 

I need someone to work from Mid-March through Mid-November ideally and I will also need some people that might have less availability to fill in here and there as well.

How am I going to tell my wife and kids that I quit my job to go work for Seth. If my kid was just graduating college I'd tell him to go have fun for the summer then go to Utah for a winter then face the real world. I still wish I had done that instead of going to work right away.

[lpskier]

I can cover the Alaculco gig for you in March if that helps.

[Horton]

If I could sell this stupid website I would go. It would only cost me my good corporate job and marriage.

[jcamp]

@Chef23 you are right. I really regret jumping into the rat race as quickly as possible. Should have taught skiing at a Club Med for a few years. Of course, those student loans were going tick, tick, tick.

@Seth, I am seriously thinking about changing locations and possibly Career. I'm in the looking and thinking stage right now... Though I can't be of any value to you this time, I am planning a trip to Charleston to see you this Spring. Who knows what the future holds.

 

Good Luck!

[Chef23]

@jcamp I didn't even have student loans. The sense of obligation to my parents for paying for college certainly played a role in my job hunt. I am 25 years in now and probably 15 more from having substantial play time.

To my loving wife and children:

We will see you again in mid-November. I will be the tan guy that ski's really well.

Regards

Your Husband / Father

[Wish]

@Texas6. Can I just do a copy/paste on that??

[Horton]

I have been told ex-wives can be very expensive

[BlueSki]

I am tempted to start driving south right now, but as with others, the whole kids, wife, job thing precludes it. If you are still hiring when we come to Charleston to ski with you this summer, I am willing to drive the boat all day in exchange for a discount on my pulls or even just a couple of cold beers at the end of the day.

[Chef23]

@Horton I am not a brain surgeon but I am smart enough to know I can't afford an ex-wife!

[rayn]

Not sure Seth is looking for someone with a mid life crisis :) But it sure sounds tempting

[BraceMaker]

March -through November is tough. May through August gets you college students

[ntx]

Ski schools always sound like it would be a great job but many kids I talk to that have worked at them say not so much. Most don't get as many sets as they would like. MANY hours in a hot boat that can zap your energy levels. They get a quick set during lunch and one late in the afternoon when they are worn out. Pay is limited at best. Not sure what Seth would offer. Most pay room and board plus maybe 100 per week.

[Horton]

It was the funnest summers of my life

[Sethski]

NTX, it is busy and it is hot and it doesn't pay well in cash. All correct, however the rest is up to the "opportunist" or lack thereof that gets the job (at least speaking for my place). One set is to be taken in the AM before any clients ski (and we don't start until 9 so that's easy). The other set is in a spot during the business day if we aren't full and after we are done if we are. However we finish at 3:30 so it isn't too bad. I often cycle 2 different people in and out as drivers although I am in there all day.

 

Between a place to stay, free skiing, and better pay for my main person than you would get at most ski schools, it's rally a great opportunity. There are also some tips from clients, great business contacts, and great opportunity to build your resume in any way you choose since you are working for a small business. Also, with all I the people passing through you will undoubtedly make some friends that will last a lifetime.

 

It's a great opportunity for sure (if you capitalize on it) not to mention the fact that we attempt to have fun all day everyday.

 

All of that having been said, I definitely don't want anyone who is afraid of hard work, thinks that there are any jobs that are beneath them, or if he or she has trouble with follow through and taking responsibility.

 

Don't know about other places, but that about sums it up at my place.

[Zman]

Seth definitely keeps it fun there! Great coaching and a good time among other students encouraging and helping each other. Look forward to getting back there sometime this spring!

[alex38]

I know 2 New Englanders real well that love it there, Tom H. And Adam C. Freakin ski bums, wish I could do it.

[slalomboy96]

Maybe I can take a 6 month sebaticle from work,
