 Poster: A snowHead

Jutta at Ski Extreme wants a new skiman (or woman) for next winter. They should either be experienced and have a little french or if inexperienced they would need to speak better french so she can send them on courses. She can help find accommodation too. Hours are OK with 2 hours off every lunchtime to ski/snowboard and a day off every week. I don't suppose the pay is that great, but hey ....
anyone interested??

Hurtle, Oh bums. Look, I am hard pressed learning about RSS feeds, and how to put them on my company's web site. Mais je suis désolé que je vous aie préoccupé.

Hurtle, I'm grateful.
RSS. Assuming you have IE7, you can go to Pistehors you wil see somewhere near the top of your screen an icon looking like an orange square with a series of concentric white arcs on it. In FF2, the same icon appears at the right of the address bar. Click that, and you can subscribe to the site's news service - it goes into you Favorites (IE7) or Bookmarks (FF2). The cool thing is that you can have a whole bunch of these feeds for various sites - and see instantly what the latest news is, without having to visit the sites themselves. So you can see a lot of headlines very quickly. If there is something you see of interest, you can go straight to the page concerned.
We are, however, OT.

easiski, Sorry! I'd love to be a skiwoman, but I guess a prerequisite is being able to ski well.

You know it makes sense.
|

Hurtle, i don't think so..... I understand you either need to be an experienced skiwoman or speak french well enough to do courses to learn to be...

Hurtle, no, you have to be able to service skis. The job involves no skiing whatsoever.

easiski,
It might help if you explained what skiman/woman means, I assume it means ski-tech/rental. Hours aren't a major selling point to the ski bum population I suspect.

Hurtle, there's a ski tech course run in Grenoble which lasts a week, as far as I remember, and doesn't look particularly taxing. This is the course which most employers/aspiring techs use.

If the A-level results don't go to plan on Thursday, there'll be a dreadlocked teenager looking for work . As he is hoping to study French (and German), it would probably be ideal. However, I'm rather hoping the results are good instead.

Hurtle, Helen Beaumont, (well I hope Helen does not need it) I believe you get 2 hours off for lunch to ski plus 1 day off per week... (I'm currently hunting for australians to help Jutta fill job position)
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

As fatbob says, the hours aren't a big selling point - there are plenty of jobs out there which get you far more hill time than a measly two hours a day, lots of which ends up being spent in getting changed/riding lifts. Skiman usually pays more than minimum though.
|

Lizzard, I don't know - most of those jobs the ski time depends on whether you get your work done or whether the boss allows you to go or whatever. + most of the TO jobs are shockingly paid with all sorts of tricks to not pay what's actually owed at the end of the season etc. This is a proper job (no offence intended) learning or practising a trade, and there are plenty of peeps in ski resorts that don't get a day off every week - what a dream that would be - perhaps I should apply???

easiski, maybe you need to start allowing yourself a day off then? It doesn't pay the bills though

Masque, he's already getting into the spirit of things, so to speak. His Dad is none too happy to find some of his Genepi had been consumed this afternoon though.

Helen Beaumont, Well done Richard - congratulations. sorry about the Genepi. I had a text from my brother telling me that my niece got 4 As and is off to Cardiff to study Architecture. Cardiff is No 1 in the UK for this, so she was really relying on the results to get in. I'm dead chuffed - she worked very hard (in addition to being very bright of course).
