Seasonal employment on Kenai peninsula
 
Hi!

Can anyone offer any suggestions for seasonal employment? I am
especially interested in a lodge/outfitter that provides housing.
Unfortunately I am not yet proficient in sea kayaking but I am very
knowledgeable on that and most outdoors adventures.

Thanks and enjoy!
Annie

Hi Annie,
Having been to the Kenai a few times, my suggestion would be
to look for a job cooking or house-keeping, if you have no
contacts there. Once there, you can make a ton of contacts
for next year. It's the same old story...ya gotta pay your dues,
and get known.

If you can afford it...and please be realistic....fly up and drive
out...then stop at every mon n pop resort you come to, and ask,
"Need any help?". You'd be amazed at how many people back
out at the last minute, employment-wise, leaving the operator
in dire straits.

Get ahold of an Alaska Magazine, and call everyone of the resorts
that advertise in the back. Most will already have their crew setup by
now, but you will not know that untill you call.

keep checking the classifieds in www.adn.com. Most of the lodges looking
for folks are not on the Kenai, but you never know.

Best easist way to get a job is at a cannery working on a slime line.
