Anchorage, AK: Alaska Native owned and operated CIRI Alaska Tourism (CATC) is currently accepting applications for jobs for the 2011 summer season. Fun and challenging positions are available at all properties, including Alaska Heritage Tours (in Anchorage), Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge, Seward Windsong Lodge, Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge (on Fox Island near Seward), Kenai Fjords Tours (in Seward) and Prince William Sound Glacier Cruises (in Whittier).
You may be thinking, “It’s not even Christmas, not time to think about summer work.” But this is exactly the time to be, not only thinking about, but applying for those jobs. Stephanie Stanley, HR manager at Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge, explains that January and February is when the managers are focusing on recruiting, interviewing and hiring. “We plan to have most of the positions filled by the first of March,” explains Stanley.
The season begins in May at each of the properties, and many of the jobs begin in mid-April and last through mid-to-late September. There are a variety of positions available, from entry level to supervisory positions, and housing is available for employees at the properties located outside Anchorage.
CATC was chosen as one of the Top Ten Best Places to Work in Alaska in 2008. CIRI Shareholders and descendants are strongly encouraged to apply. Apply online at www.ciritourism.com/jobs.
