Interviews

As a general rule, all applicants must be interviewed before being considered for work. Exceptions include overseas Ski and Snowboard Instructors whose qualifications meet the minimum requirements. Most interviews will be held between Saturday 3 May – Friday 9 May 2008.  Please note, phone interviews may take place earlier.

All successful applicants will be notified as soon as possible after their interview. Final offers of employment and employment agreements to sign and return will be emailed out from 12 May 2008 onwards. Most positions will have a start date between 9 June and 5 July 2008.

Overseas Ski and Snowboard Instructors

We will endeavour to notify successful applicants in March. This will allow enough time for us to send you an Employment Agreement and for you to organise your work visa before a start date in late June – early July. You must apply for your work visa prior to your arrival in New Zealand.

Police vetting

By law all employees who may be working with children must be vetted by police. Please ensure you complete this form and send it to us before you need to start. We will need a copy with a signature so please send by post to:
