GETTING A THEME PARK OR RESORT JOB

Before sending off your cover letter and resume, heed some general advice for applying or interviewing with resort employers. It seems obvious, but when
looking for a resort job, don't put all your eggs in one cabana, so to speak. We recommend applying to the employers included in our JobCenter database, as well as ones you may know of through other sources. I you are interested in working at a theme park or amusement park, we also recommend reading through our new expanded Amusement Park Jobs section. By exploring all your options, you'll maximize your chances of getting hired. Moreover, some managers we talked with in the course of researching this site said the number of applications they receive varies greatly from year to year. Some years they actually receive fewer applications than positions available, creating a shortage in the work force.

The best way to get hired for a resort support position (those in housekeeping, grounds crew, food service) is to apply using each company's required process; for example, filling out an application, sending in a resume, or attending an in-person interview. Because these jobs are less specialized than, say, a windsurfing instructor or massage therapist, the odds are you will simply need to go apply through their human resources department or personnel office.

There are steps you can take to make yourself more attractive to hiring personnel, even if you've never worked at a resort. If you have applicable skills or experience, be sure to point them out when applying. Hobbies, previous jobs, volunteer activities, even classes you've taken can come in handy when looking for a job. Perhaps you worked as a waiter at a restaurant in your hometown. Maybe you've taken tennis lessons all your life and spent the last few summers coaching kids at camp.

As one former resort worker points out:

    "Hotels don't really require any experience at all for these jobs. For example, when I was working at a resort in Cancun, there were a few twenty-year-olds greeting guests who had never worked at a hotel before."

Even if your past experiences don't seem to fit in with your resort job plans, it's not too late! You can get your CPR and first aid certification in just a few weekends or evenings through your local fire department or American Red Cross branch office. Or you can start volunteering at a local school, health club, or nonprofit organization. Current activities can be just as impressive as past experiences, as long as you highlight them in your application or interview.
