Welcome! I’m Caitlin - I moved to Whistler last year for the Winter 22/23 season. Since then I’ve been working for Whistler Blackcomb and have learnt a lot about the town and how to find work.
Here is my updated “how to get a job” video as my last one has been very popular. Tune in to see more in depth explanation of working for the mountain in Whistler!
Please remember: everything I say on this video is purely my own experience and opinion of Whistler Blackcomb and should not be taken as factual information.
Use my referral code 374528 when applying for Whistler Blackcomb resort jobs so they know I’m promoting their mission :)

Hi Caitlin, Thanks for you video! Have just started applying for a bunch of jobs through the whistler site as they have only just opened up recently. I was just wondering how long after you applied were you getting contacted for interviews/when were you officially offered a job? I understand that the housing process is a bit slower but were you having interviews/offers around the August mark or later? Thanks!

@caitlinjanet_ 2 дня назад

Hey! That’s awesome that you’re coming to Whistler! I just did a little search and saw that I had my interview August 12 and was offered the job on the same day :) so yes expect August for things to happen for WB jobs! After that point the information will come more slowly. All the best!

@ameliamae7923 Месяц назад

Thank you so much! An amazing vid! I’m from the UK but currently in Aus and desperately want to do a ski season in whistler 😊 Are you able to apply for multiple roles as I’m not really fussed what I do, just want to experience mountain life and snowboard the season away

@caitlinjanet_ Месяц назад

Yes of course! Just apply for a bunch, that’s what I did. Don’t bother applying for manager positions though unless you have experience. But if you’re leaning towards a certain department definitely push for it :)

@joshtonkin7684 Месяц назад

thank you! do yk if most “with the mountain” jobs/departments offer free ski season passes if you’re working full time for a full winter season? or is that just for snow makers, patrol and liftes?

@caitlinjanet_ Месяц назад

Indeed we do! Full time and Part time staff get a free pass if you work for Whistler Blackcomb :) there are also a lot of other great benefits too like free lessons, discounted food, discounted retail. Other businesses do offer some sort of ski passes I believe, but I don’t have much knowledge about that side :)

@arturnascimento1042 24 дня назад

Hey Caitlin, thanks for sharing your data. Do you think it is too late to apply in the end of August or first days of September?

@caitlinjanet_ 24 дня назад

No you should be okay! There are plenty of jobs in town for winter, but the hardest part is just getting housing. So if you’re late to that it can be harder but not impossible! Good luck.

hey im an aussie whos looking to work in whistler, I have an interview for fairmont, does anyone have anyrecomendations of other places I should apply as I'm trying to avoid food and bev but have no ski experience, so sales, retail cleaning is more what I'm looking for

@caitlinjanet_ Месяц назад

Hey! That's awesome that you're coming to Whistler! I definitely would recommend trying some of the retail jobs for for the mountain would be ideal for you. Go to the Vail Resorts Whistler Jobs page and the Winter Seasonal jobs should come live soon! And don't stress about your ski experience, it's not a requirement :)

@alaska1790 Месяц назад

What do the local Canadians think of us Aussies? Do they like us?

@caitlinjanet_ Месяц назад

Yes they do! They always joke about how they dont need to visit Australia because they already met so many of us here 😂 but its great, I feel like aussies and Canadians get along so well because we grew up in such opposite places that it makes each other interesting!
