Sierra-at-Tahoe is gearing up for the 2010-11 winter season by hosting two hiring fairs to fill a variety of seasonal positions. Nearly every operational department will be hiring at the two on-site job fairs including patrol, lift operations, retail, food and beverage, ski and snowboard school, and more.

The first job fair will be at Sierra Resort Oct. 9 from 9am-noon. This fair is for applicants interested in working in ski and snowboard school, daycare, and competition services. Skiing and non-skiing positions will include full-time, part-time, and on-call shifts for weekends and holidays.

A non-mandatory, dry-land, pre-season training for ski and snowboard instructors will be offered six weekends from Oct. 16–Nov. 21 from 10am-3pm. This training includes aerobic and anaerobic conditioning, functional movement screen analysis and corrective exercise, and PSIA and AASI pre-certification prep and clinics. The cost is $99 per participant, and lunch is not included.

A second hiring fair is also at Sierra. It is Oct. 23 from 9am-2pm. Nearly every operational department will be interviewing and hiring seasonal workers. Bartenders will not be interviewed at the job fair, but are asked to submit a resume to hrstaffing.st@boothcreek.com.

All prospective employees are asked to fill out an application online prior to arriving at the job fair.

Ability to ski or snowboard is not required for all jobs.

Sierra Resort is also looking for real estate professionals and private homeowners to join its Rental Rewards Program, which awards season passes and lift ticket vouchers in exchange for offering winter housing to Sierra Resort employees. Anyone interested may direct questions to Human Resources at (530) 543.3107.
