Be patient, if they made you an offer, expect to be going.
I went through the same thing last year.
No phone calls returned and no messages to me for weeks.
Then in march they called and asked if I needed to be picked up at the train station.
Do not be discouraged.
It is beautiful up there. Really beautiful.

The offer they made me was for last season, which I turned down. They have not made me an offer yet for this season, or even done a phone interview. (IDK, maybe they can use the phone interview they did last year & they don't have to do another one?) They just wanted to know if I was still interested, which, of course, I said yes. & since I was offered a supervisor position last season (which they have no record of since it was because someone else dropped out that they offered it to me) that is what I applied for this year, but I did let her know that I would be willing to take any type of position just to get the opportunity to work up there. But I am still hopeful because I think I am a skilled & well-qualified applicant; I figure I will give it til mid-Feburary before I start to panic! ;-)

I have been up to Glacier numerous times to visit my gf who worked in East Glacier 2 seasons ago & St. Mary's last summer & yeah I agree it is one of the most beautiful parks I have been to so far & thats why I am so excited to be planning on spending the summer there & will be sadly disappointed if it doesnt work out!

Where did you work at last year?

I also hope to be working at Glacier this summer. I applied rather late I guess (about a week ago). Does anyone know if they still hire this late?

i think it depends on the location...Valerie @ GPI said they did still have a number of jobs available including a few front desk & gift shop positions but it sounded like most of them were housekeeping & food service. Im pretty sure they are still going thru apps & hiring though, probably will be up through the first week or so of may. if i remember correctly their website said they were full up on the internationals, so any jobs they have left would be going to US citizens.
