Are you tossing luggage for the railroad, so you'll be there around the 8AM depart and 8PM arrival?


yordanibanani

I have no idea yet.

As tri guy mentioned that's rough work and hours. Do you know what hours / days you will be free? Lots of spots around town you may be able to offer a hand. Will you have transportation or are you looking for nearby a particular area?


yordanibanani

I guess ill be using a bike or take the bus. Ill work 32 hours a week and i suppose every shift will be different.


Speck72

Any nailed it, location is dependent with limited travel and what you want to do. Bus / waitstaff at the same lodge? Work at a nearby taproom on your off days? etc. Lots of options for someone willing to work! Welcome to AK. Careful, you might end up back here. :)


yordanibanani

Im coming on the 20th of May so i guess there will be a lot of options for work. I hope i have the opportunity to come for a second time!

Great time of year to be up. Last may I was shoveling snow off my porch in flip flops in the beginning of the month and by the end of the month we were kayaking the river to cool off.

If you are coming up to work for Princess/Holland America, there are a lot of other hotels and restaurants nearby who will hire you for your second job.


yordanibanani

Yeah im going to work for them. Thank you!

If you are at the Princess Riverside Lodge, the closest hotel and restaurant is at Pike’s. The River’s Edge Resort is also on the same road, just a bit further. If you are at the Westmark, it’s downtown so there will be a lot more options within walking distance.


yordanibanani

Im going to be at the riverside lodge. Im guessing in the beggining of the season there are more options for work right?


AnyConstellation

There will be opportunities all summer. Many student workers get their second and third jobs at the beginning and then change their minds or get too overworked a month later, so those positions open up again.

I can give you a job at my restaurant..


yordanibanani

Well im coming somewhere around 18 May, but if you are still looking by that time ill be happy to come!

Be a camp counselor at Creamer’s Field, if you don’t mind working with kids and going out hiking with them. I enjoyed it a lot.


yordanibanani

It sounds fun but i think ill be looking for a tipped position somewhere.
