Off to Morzine!!!

Sat, 3 Jul 2010 09:26:15 GMT

A quick update for anyone who is still around at this time of year. I had interview on Wednesday this week for another childcare manager position and got the job. It is better pay and conditions than the other job that I got and I will be based in Morzine. A little excited is what I am! :lol:

Hurrah! Nice one... sounds like you're sorted then.

Is this one for definite or do you have more irons?

No this is it now, it's the job I wanted most! I have a couple more interviews but I will not be attending them.

This job is not a TO so it's good wages (for a ski resort) and more time off, plus the company directors are cool.

:lol:

Hi Snowbandit,
I'm glad you're finally sorted, and I hope you have a great season in Morzine :D

I won't be working with the children Ian, I will be coordinating the nannies, and monitoring their performance, I will also spend a lot of time each day skiing to the different villages to speak to parents about their requirements and customer satisfaction.

Unlike school there'll be hardly any paper work, no OfSTED, no targets and assessment, no planning, and lots of mountains!

I won't be on a budget, I will have more disposable income than I have had for the last twenty years...Don't you remember, I will no longer have a mortgage and I will also have rent coming in from my property in England as well as my resort wages.

Happy days! I'll even shout you a beer when you pop over from Morillon :mrgreen: :wink:

Congrats Snowbandit, I would say I'm jealous, but keeping with the Alpine Migration theme, I signed a contract for a managerial position in a pharma company in Visp last week :)

30km from Zermatt and 25km from Saas Fee, both of which I am currently looking for property in :)

Happy days!!

Hey Tino! Good to here from you :D

Congrats to you too, I bet, like me, you can't wait until the winter! :D :D :D

Sounds like top moves for both of you. SnowB4, thats as close to a ski instructors job as you can get. I'm skiing, and they are paying me for it!
Tino, great location! Hope the contract is long term. Of course you don't have to stay in Visp. Somewhere a little closer to the slopes? With extra rooms? For sure you will manage your 60 days snow target, and save a fortune on rail fares. How much a Zermatt season pass?

Contract is open ended, so I get a B Permit as part of the deal :) Looking all around the region for somewhere to live, Leukerbad is quite tempting, but like Zermatt and Saas Fee; expensive! So might have to be a smaller village on the route to one of the three.

Bandit PM'd me the prices for the passes....... International Pass for Zermatt-Cervinia is 1568CHF for the "season" and 1968CHF for the year. The possibility of snowboarding EVERY weekend of the year is attractive beyond belief. I will be getting the full rail ticket for Switzerland which gives unlimited access to all transport nationwide.

The job and the company is also a perfect move for me, so it's a complete win on all levels. Start date is the 1st October, gonna be a very long season :)
