IS A RESORT OR BEACH RESORT JOB RIGHT FOR YOU?Working at a resort hotel is not all fun and sun. You'll be expected to work hard, just as you would aboard a cruise ship or out leading a
tour. You'll likely be surrounded by spectacular scenery, beautiful weather, and first-rate amenities, but you may not have as much time as you'd like to take advantage of these perks. Another thing to remember is that by living and working in the same place, you may find it difficult to separate your time on from your time off. In the words of one former employee of a resort in the Dominican Republic: "It is hard because you don't have a lot of time to yourself and
you don't have a lot of privacy. You have to have a smile on your face at all times. If you're not in your room asleep, you are working."
It may not feel like you're taking a break when you are surrounded by co-workers and guests even while off the clock. Furthermore, at some resorts it's required that you always be "on" while in front of guests, whether it's your shift or not. As another resort insider explains: "You don't get much time
off. You've got to really love it or you can get burned out, just like anything else."
A job at a resort does require a high level of commitment. But with a little research, a good attitude, and a bit of hard work, you could land a great job, a place to live, and plenty of opportunities to take advantage of the spectacular setting and amenities of your job. Jobs at Resorts >>> |
