Val d’Isere
– a great place to work |
|
|
| |
Val d’Isere is
always a popular destination for winter workers and that has
to be a combination of the amazing skiing and the social life.
We don’t deny that Val is as famous for its party atmosphere
as it is for skiing.
The one advantage of working for Mountain Rooms & Chalets
in Val d’Isere is the fact that you are guaranteed a job
in the resort as we are specialists in Val only = no waiting
for placements and ending up in a dead end ski resort with all
your friends elsewhere.
So when you are thinking of working in Val, think about us carefully
as there are more considerations than meet the eye! |

Who are we? |
|
|
| |
If you are considering
a winter in Val d’Isere and you have read our Job Descriptions
and you want to contact us about a job, we expect you to know
something about us. You should want to know about the company
you want to work for too. So read the site, read About Us, read
the home page and do your research.
We have developed a reputation over the years of truly looking
after our staff. We are small enough to care and that means
we take you on staff days out, we have a Christmas dinner together,
we do Secret Santa,
we have an amazing staff day out at the end of the season and
we have weekly staff meetings to discuss the positive parts
of the week as well as what might have gone wrong and what to
expect for the following week. Its all good. Communication is
key and we encourage this and we motivate along the way. It’s
a long season in Val, much longer than in other resorts so we
ensure you enjoy it as you do your job. |

What to think about |
|
|
| |
There are so many
things to think about when chosing where to work and who to
work for. A few things people forget include: |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
Where is
the company based?
Will you get allocated a resort on your start date or will you
be guaranteed the resort of your choice?
We are based and operate in Val so if you work for us, you will
be doing a winter in Val d’Isere, France. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
What are the staff apartments like?
This is a key question to any winter employee. How many people
will you be sharing with, where is the company located and
if miles away, how are you expected to get to work.
With us you live with others but you are not crammed in properties,
you live bang in the centre
of Val d’Isere so getting to work is easy. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
How much
support do I get from head office?
People never think about this until they are stuck in their
chalet without their shopping or a guest has a broken leg and
they expect you to know how to deal with it or if you are really
unlucky, you have a very unhappy client on your hands and you
feel very hard done by.
Well, we employ an Operations Manager who gives you as much
support as you need. Not only that, I (Debbie, Owner/Operator)
am in resort to deal with anything deemed necessary for me to
get involved in. I am in the office daily and I get very involved.
This means a huge amount to everyone on the team including the
Ops Manager. No calling head office in London who are not there
at weekends or waiting for an answer, if you need something
or have forgotten to get something we are on the case immediately. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
What is
the company’s history of complaints?
This is an interesting question as it relates to so many parts
of the holiday sold to the client. We hear of so many disgruntled
clients for many reasons but one huge area of discontent is
food and wine. So many companies have small food budgets not
enabling any standard of cook to purchase anything decent and
to serve good food. This makes a difference to the enjoyment
of your job as well as the satisfaction of your clients. Same
goes for the quality of wine.
We have one of the best budgets of all companies in Val d’Isere.
Chefs and hosts can serve a very high standard of food and we
purchase very good quality, wine. This means we very very rarely
get complaints and clients leave very happy. |

job descriptions to see if anything suits your skills. If so,
please email us debbie@mrooms.co.uk
and we can go from there. |
