FAQs

Can I choose a resort?

Part of the service we provide is ensuring that we find the best possible resort for you, based on your skillset and experience.

Resorts set their staffing needs and select candidates based on their skills and availability, which we'll then find great applicants for.

We collaborate with you to enhance your application to appeal to a wide range of employers, increasing your chances of securing the best possible placement options in the United States.

Will I get time off?

Time off is an important part of experiencing local culture in your own way.

You’ll have guaranteed time off alongside your colleagues to explore the local area, enjoy some downtime, or even contribute to other areas of resort life.

These parts are just as important to rest and recuperate, so there'll be a chance to do it all.

Time off varies depending on your resort and your role, but they will all be confirmed ahead of you starting.
