USA Hostels run a chain of big name, big destination hostels across America. And, as this Craigslist advert proclaims, they’re looking for a Receptionist to join their team in San Francisco.
Only three blocks away from Union Square, USA Hostels San Francisco is probably one of the best pound-for-pound hostels in America. Its a nice size (at 210 beds it’s neither too big nor too small), the facilities are excellent, and there’s a great vibe that runs through the entire building.
So if you’re looking for a way in to San Fran, and you think you could hack it on a busy reception desk, this is a great opportunity to work with friendly people and experience the city from the ‘inside’.
The position only requires that you can speak more than one language, and that you know how to smile!
We’ve just come across an ad placed on the job section of hostelmanagement.com by the International Student Center in Manhattan, New York.
They’re looking for a full-time member of staff to man the front desk, deal with bookings, check people in and help with the various non-profit educational programs that the hostel runs (these include an Arts for PEACE gallery and an International Counselor Exchange Program).
Salary is to the tune of $300 per week, which is really pretty good when you consider the free accommodation that’s thrown into the deal. Seems like a good way to land on your feet in New York to us…
Here’s one we’ve recently heard through the grapevine (well, through the Gumtree-vine, at least)… The Clink Hostel in London is looking for a Receptionist.
The Clink is one of the newest hostels in London, and is housed in a wonderful building that used to be a Magistrates’ Court. So if you fancy working in such illustrious surroundings while meeting backpackers from all over the world and honing your language skills, why not have a bash at applying?
Any German-speaking backpackers looking to settle down in Vienna this autumn should seriously consider applying for a vacant position at Wombats Hostels.
The Wombats are great hostels in Vienna, and working there would be the perfect opportunity to get to know the city… So get your CV over to klaus[a]wombats.at or check out hostelmanagement.com for more details.
A Rough Guides insider tells HostelBloggers that they’re looking to get their hands on a couple of British/Irish University students, or as they put it ”social butterflies, brilliant communicators and relationship-builders to raise the Rough Guide brand profile on campus for one academic year starting this September.” Or work, that is…
Oh, and apparently you’ve got to be ”good-humoured and passionate” as well as sharing their ”love for travel and (be) able to work independently.”
Anyone who feels they match that exhaustive set of criteria should get their CV over to (Marketing Officer) Vanessa Godden by Sunday 15th June.
Seriously, though, they’re a brilliant bunch down at Rough Guides. Anyone lucky enough to secure the job should get some excellent work experience under their belt, and have a great laugh at the same time.
