Got the job at camp beaumont which only lasts a month, july-august; have also applied for PGL kids camps which im really keen on getting; just waiting to hear

congrats

Yay, great thread - thanks. :biggrin:

Most of the shops I've tried to hand in CVs to told me it's too early. :frown:

I'm going to go on holiday this summer for a week and a half. Do you think I should put that on my CV or wait until I get a job, tell them then and p*** them off?

tell them if they ask at the interview, if not i'm sure you'll be able to arrange some time off work when the time comes.

Is it too late to apply for those kids camps now? When do they stop recruiting?

you help the kids out, sometimes monitor meals, help out the staff, take the kids on trips etc. basically taking care of the kids and monitoring them outside of class.

you can get in, it just depends how good an impression you make. i didn't really have any experience with kids but i got offers last year.i made a good impression in the interviews and they remembered that. how to go about it is in the first post.

I'm not really experienced at all in any sporting activities like kayaking etc do you reckon that significantly decreases my chances of getting a job within a camp? Has anyone ever got a job in one where they don't have experience of such things?
