We experience long, cold, wet dark winters here in the cascade foothills and then followed by beautiful warm crazy busy summers.  This position will require long days during the summer as this business makes 90% of its yearly income in 3 months time.  Then during the winter we work outside in the cold and wet weather and spend a lot of time alone.   Qualified applicants must enjoy both working alone for a lot of time in the winter and then during the "crazy busy" summer working long hours and getting very little alone time.  The qualified applicant(s) will need to cheerful and friendly even when interrupted after a long day of dealing with people.  Applicants must be energetic, well spoken, and professional.   Qualified applicants will have a professional and clean appearance being well groomed and dressed appropriately for business.  Qualified applicants must be able to deal with difficult people and must enjoy being around kids.  Actual hours worked vary seasonally.  The position requires that you must be on-call for guest services 5 days per week minimum.
