 Poster: A snowHead
|
December 8-12
CSIA Level II
Whistler
Anyone here with their L1 who fancies a little snowHeads jolly to Whistler for an early season course?
Looks like I won't be working there next season. I refused to work with 3-12 year olds. (Given that my life's work experience so far has been dealing with fat, hairy people, in a job primarily concerned with the less savoury side of life, I'm not wholly sure that I have the most apt character to work with little kids).

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

skisimon, if you get there for the hiring clinic you will get a decent job. If you have a level 2 CSIA you will get more pay, and even if you get the little kids, you will get the 12 year old higher end skiers. ask to work ride tribe, which is 13-19 year olds. or adult base pod.
Adult base pod will want CSIA 2 though.
Have you sorted your accommodation out yet though?
BTW the combined services champs are great fun.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

skisimon, sorry to hear that. Without a L2 even I couldn't sneak you into Adults. I still think you should sort out your seasonal accom in Whistler, work your balls off to get the L2, then apply to get into Adults.

After the improvement I made on the CSCF EL course, I had always planned on attempting the CSIA L2 at the earliest possible opportunity.
paulhothersall/veeeight, cheers for the tips.
veeeight, would you say apply again now, accepting a kids school job, then do the L2 early and try to get moved; or just apply again after I've got my L2?

skisimon, apply, get job and free lift pass. take l2, do lots of "sessions" (early morning staff training every day before work) where you most importantly get to know the supervisors of the adult groups.
express interest in the j4 programme with you cscf EL, as the new j5 programme (which competes with the ski club k1 program .... another story), means a lot of the j4 coaches are moving on. either that or level 6 whistler kids for the season. This shows the interviewer that you have researched stuff, and work with older kids (at least).

skisimon, difficult to say, really. on the one hand Paul's advice is sound, but on the other hand. it's not easy to move from Kids to Adults.
