Lisa Menezes replied to Will Rose's discussion Looking for change. Beautiful, adventurous change."If you're interested in skiing and/or snowboarding, Park City, Utah was my favorite. For the summer, I liked working on the trains in Alaska the best."
Lisa Menezes replied to Liva Stubbe Teglbjærg's discussion Advices need for summer jobs (horse related) !"If you don't qualify for a visa, you can probably only work in exchange for room and board. At the ranch I worked at for a summer, there was a French girl who was doing that. They made her work just as hard as the paid staff, though, so it may…"
Lisa Menezes replied to Echo Roggenkamp's discussion Advise needed please!!!"Ask in the interview if you will get a lot of opportunities to ride. I think at some places you can ride anytime you're not working, but at other places you can only go along on trail rides with guests. I worked in the office of a dude ranch…"
Lisa Menezes replied to Amy's discussion Starting a job in the middle of the season?"There are some places that require people to stay the full season but there are plenty of places that wouldn't mind you not starting until mid-June. Most places are much busier mid-June to mid-August than they are in May, and a lot of places…"
Lisa Menezes replied to Natalie's discussion Winter Work in Alaska"If you like skiing/snowboarding you should apply at Alyeska."
Lisa Menezes replied to John C's discussion Who here does this full time??"I've been doing this for the past few years too. Ski resorts in winter and Alaska in summer. My jobs haven't provided housing and food, though. The only job I had that provided room and board was at a dude ranch on a summer break from…"
Lisa Menezes replied to reggiecohen's discussion employers asking for facebook login and passwords"No, that's weird."
Lisa Menezes replied to Tina Seymour's discussion free room & board"I've met a couple people who worked there who liked it. I've heard mostly negative things about Aramark, though."
Lisa Menezes replied to Julie's discussion Deer Valley, Utah advice needed"Yeah Sundance can be really annoying when you're living in Park City, crazy traffic, way too many people, and the buses get totally off-schedule and all the bars start charging covers. If you don't see any of the movies, it's awful.…"
Lisa Menezes replied to reggiecohen's discussion anchorage hostel"I stayed at the Arctic Adventure last May, it was alright"
Lisa Menezes replied to Erica D.'s discussion First Timer! Alaska? Advice please!"Seward is a cool town. The weather is rainy but usually not that cold, not that warm. There is no train to get there. You could either drive there, fly into Anchorage and take the train or a shuttle to Seward, or go to Washington and then take the…"
Lisa Menezes replied to Kari Quaas (Q)'s discussion Roll Call - Summer Jobs 2012"Lisa Menezes - Royal Celebrity Tours - Alaska (back on the train!) - Bartender-Barista - May 4th to September 15th"
Lisa Menezes replied to Tiffany Skinner's discussion moving and need advice!"I always get a job before I move. If you are open to any type of job and not that worried about money, you can move first, but if you want a specific type of position, I'd suggest applying at places in a few different towns and securing a job…"
Lisa Menezes replied to Daniel Jacob Horn's discussion Lake Tahoe VS Park City"I think that without transportation Park City would be better. Park City is a really convenient place to live without a car. Lake Tahoe is a lot more spread out. As far as which is better for skiing and snowboarding, both are great. I haven't…"

sarah said… - Thanks, I was thinking of being on board manager, however, am a qualified bartender and server. While tips are great there just seems to be more security as a manager and a few more perks. I guess specifically my questions were about how the company treats its people, if there was as much work as the hours they stated one would be working (which seemed kinda harsh!), and how housing worked out for you. Anyway, whatever you could tell me would be great. Thanks!
