OPERATIONS MANAGER — GIRDWOOD, ALASKA
Chugach Adventure Guides, LLC is currently seeking a year round Operations Manager for Heli-skiing, Snowcat Skiing, and Rafting operations in Girdwood, Alaska. The successful applicant will have a proven track record in logistics, personnel management, regulatory management and outdoor product delivery. Resume to owens@chugachpowderguides.com or Box 641, Girdwood, AK 99587.
Are you more receptive of resumes with applicants posting themselves with lifeless White-Tailed Deer?
I ran over a squirrel today with my car. Does that help my chances?
Don't you guys need corporate counsel?
Photo shop programs everywhere are getting a work out. Where's that shot of dozens of dead armadillos spelling out PETA? I'm sure I can paste my face onto one of those guys.
This will be a very sweet job for some lucky (hopefully) maggot.
I'm pretty sure I'd be a damn entertaining employee. That's all I got. [/hoping!]
hmmmmm......

Letter of recommendation for tonghands:
Tonghands is damn entertaining, as such making a sure fire damn entertaining employee. Not only do his glimmering tongs help him excel in outdoor product delivery, they come in handy for managing personnel who may need a quick tong to the ear when out of line, or even a kind back scratch for a job well done. His hilarious antics with have the regulatory comity rolling in the aisles making managing regulations a snap of the tongs.
Thinking of ways to pErsuade her as I type...... :biggrin:Quote:

God damn that's tempting.
In a way, it's a good thing that I am completely unqualified for this job.
Yeah - we don't have many entertaining employees at all....Quote:

The culture shock would be too much for me.
That and the demands of the job.
That doesn't seem insurmountable. Focus on the perks.Quote:

Hehe, my wife actually said she would kick me if I didn't apply. Then maybe I could call Dave giggling after a dawn patrol or recent adventure.Quote:

haha wtf is outdoor product delivery... its funny when people try to build up a simple concept and make it sound cool for job postings
i'm not making fun of you its cool, its just funny - take my outdoor product
God damn reasonable people requiring employee's be qualified. Who needs that? I'd be cheaper!Quote:

We are have already pre-sold over 3000 seats for summer 2006 on just one of our raft trips. It takes knowing how to manage a lot of logistics, staff, and details while making it all transparent to the guest.Quote:

He is a rediculously hard worker and would manage the ops like he's been doing it since he was two. His name is Dave Rubin...
Sorry for the senseless post...but I'll do everything I can for the guy.
bump, bump

Yeah but in this job you probably have to actually do work instead of sleeping at helibase all day.Quote:

Oh, well, on the bright side I'm only 9 years 5 months and 7 days from retirement.
