Hey John,

I'll let the tribe share their thoughts, but I will say, since I worked for Princess in the past, that they won't really be looking at apps for 2010 until at least November and most likely won't be doing interviews until January.

Good luck with the process. It's fun out there. : )

Kari

I guess I started my search a little soon, but at least I'll have time to narrow my search down :)

I didn't start applying until December/January. Wyoming is an amazing place is you want to give it a try!

I have never been to Wyoming, only seen pictures. It looks like a great place to live/work though. I'll have to check it out.

Wyoming is beautiful. If you look there are several resorts and dude ranches on the North Fork Highway. It's a beautiful Highway. You can try Yellowstone Valley Inn, Pahaska Teepee Lodge, Elephant Head Lodge. I know several people there you could speak with if you want that information. Good Luck.

Thank you for your response. I will research the 3 places you've listed. I would be interested in speaking to any with information about maintenance type jobs. I currently do unit and ground/property maintenance for my condominium association.

It all depends on what you're looking for. I'm working on a dude ranch outside of Dubois, which is a lot quieter and smaller than working in the national park system. So if you want a smaller staff, we had 15 staff at our busiest, and something with fewer tourists, check out dude ranches. But if you'd rather have a larger staff and be right inside of Yellowstone/Grand Teton then definitely check out the lodges and everything there. Good Luck!

I agree Yellowstone would be a good place to go. I applied for Xanterra slightly later than most because I applied in February. I LOVED it there! My job was not the most exciting as I was a housekeeper but I worked with some of the nicest people which really helped. This was my first job right out of high school and I want to go back. I would say December/January is a good time to apply. Good Luck!
I was at Old Faithful by the way.

I have read mixed reviews for working for Xanterra. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I have always been the type of person to experience things for myself, rather than only relying on hearsay. That’s cool that this was your first job right out of high school. My first job was a fry cook at McDonalds when I was 15, lol. Thank you for the info.
