Many ski resorts stay open year round and they hire fresh, students as help during the summer months. Not only are students a great way for ski resorts to get young, fresh assistance during busy tourism months, but it’s also a great way for students to make great money and have a job they look forward to going to. There are many different job positions available at different ski resorts. Not all jobs have to be outside in the snow and cold either, you can find jobs such as office administrative assistance, jobs in the resorts restaurant, jobs at the front desk of the ski resort greeting customers as they arrive, or as assistance renting out ski equipment. There are many other jobs as well which don’t require you to spend all your time in the snow and cold.

For those of you who especially want to be in the great outdoors, there are many positions such as ski lift operators who are responsible for ensuring the ski left is functioning properly and you would also be responsible for assisting skiers onto the lift seat. If you are a good skier or snow boarder you could also get a position as a ski or snowboard instructor where you would give private lessons or teach groups. There are also ski park maintenance teams who ski around and ensure that there is no debris on the slopes, ensure all skiers are following the rules, and all slopes are functioning properly. One of the great aspects of obtaining seasonal employment with ski resorts, is that usually is you continue coming back to work for that resort each summer, they continually raise your pay each year you come back so you can make more and more money each summer. So if you find yourself without any employment this summer, why not apply to your local ski resort and get a good paying job that you enjoy going to each day.

Of all the jobs that one could be fortunate enough to have, a job with the Secret Service is one that is deemed quite honorable. As a law enforcement agency which has its base in Washington, D.C. it has 150 offices across the nation and abroad. Job duties entail criminal investigations, protection and dual missions. The Secret Service’s protective responsibilities involve protecting the President, Vice-President, former presidents, visiting heads of state, and those who are major presidential and vice-presidential candidates. Investigative missions include investigation and enforcement of crimes, such as, money laundering, counterfeiting, fraud involving financial institutions, not to mention computer and telecommunications fraud.

Those who apply for the Special Agent position must pass a test called the “Treasury Enforcement Agent (TEA) Test” and a report writing test. They must be prepared for a series of in-depth interviews and be able to obtain Top Secret clearance. Top Secret clearance is obtained by passing an extensive background investigation, polygraph test and drug screening. Failure to pass the 10-week Basic Criminal Investigator Training program and the 17-week Special Agent Basic Training program will result in separation from the United States Secret Service. Other job positions of the Secret Service all carry their own distinct requirements and qualifications.

Furthermore, the Department of Homeland Security has operated and supervised the Secret Service since 2003. Primary jurisdiction over treasury bonds and notes, and the counterfeiting of US currency is still held by the Secret Service. Even though they are best known for the protective services, they are also known to sometimes work with local law enforcement for local crime investigations. Another category of Secret Service jobs are professional and scientific positions. These positions require work in the field of science and learning which is acquired through education and specialized training. They must use good judgment from their knowledge and know when to be discrete. They must also be able to produce results in the interpretation and development of data on a variety of subject matter. Accountants, Architects, Attorneys and Chemists are a mere sample of the professional and scientific positions of the Secret Service.
