Job opportunities for qualified
instructors
Getting a job
Most snow sports schools in Australia will hire new instructors
from the training (or hiring) clinics held early season.
Snow sport schools may also choose to employ you if you already
have certification from Australia or another country eg Canada,
Austria, USA.
Keep in mind that hiring staff is up to the individual resorts
and each will have their own policies and procedures.
Here is a list of of Australian Resorts to find out
when and how they are hiring.
Don't forget to ask a few questions though:
How much is the hiring clinic?
When do you need to register by?
Do they assist with accommodation?
What time and where do you meet on the first day?
How good do I need to be?
You need to be competent in your chosen discipline - but
not a star.
Snow sports schools look for good people skills, patience,
empathy, friendly personality, an encouraging nature and a sense of
humour!
If you have these qualities then the snow sports school may be
willing to take you on and improve your ability to slide on snow
through their training and having the chance to go to APSI
courses.
