Tennis Instructor Job: On-the-Job Issues

There are a few elements of working as a tennis instructor at a resort that you may find difficult or frustrating. First of all, you'll usually only have a limited amount of time to spend with each student.

As an East Coast tennis coach explains, this can be a challenge:

"You have kind of a transient crowd at resorts. You really only have people who are coming in for a short stay and you only have a week to make an impression on them."

In addition, working at a resort brings with it a quirky schedule. You'll tend to work while those with nine-to-five jobs are on vacation. Holidays, birthdays, weekends, evenings - you'll just as likely be on the court as off.

As a longtime tennis instructor points out, schedule demands can have their drawbacks:

"There's probably no off season. When you're not working you're not getting paid. So if you take off two weeks you don't get paid for those two weeks. And when someone cancels, that costs you money."
