Job Descriptions  

WE HAVE FILLED ALL OUR POSITIONS FOR 2010.  IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN WORKING HERE, PLEASE RETURN TO THESE PAGES IN JANUARY 2011.

All jobs pay $416 per week (six days, 8:30-5), except Swim Instructor, which pays $490/per week (Sunday - Friday 8:30 -5) and include free housing on the beach, plus full kitchen and laundry facilities; a discount at the club snack bar and opportunities to earn extra $ bartending evening functions.  

While the jobs can start at a mutually agreed upon date between mid-May and mid-June, it is a job requirement to stay through the morning of the second day after Labor Day (8Sep10)--if you cannot satisfy this obligation, please do not apply.  A substantial bonus ($2500+, in addition to the above salary) is contingent upon fulfilling this commitment.  

Applicants need to be at least 18 years old, be in good physical condition with no limitations, hold a current driver's license and will need three written work references and a personal interview to be hired.  Priority for all positions will be given to those with lifeguard  certifications and/or responsible alcohol service training.

Due to the intimate nature of the living/working conditions here, both to promote diversity and forestall the formation of cliques,  please be advised that we do not ordinarily hire more than one student from the same 'source', be that a college/university, hometown, etc.  Fluent English is expected of all applicants and if you are not an American citizen, an International driver's license, a valid J-1 visa with a form DS-2019 and Social Security number are required for employment.  

To Apply for a Job

  1. Read 'FAQ' & 'Job Description' pages carefully.

  2. Submit completed application form, together with three written work references, to the CBC office Materials may submitted electronically or via postal service.
  3. When we receive ALL of your application materials, you will be contacted regarding an interview.  

True fact:  we receive thousands of inquiries each year for only nine jobs (some of which may be filled by students returning from prior years) and therefore ask that you comply with the following guidelines:

  • whenever possible, please transmit application & written references together.
  • you may care to submit a written statement, which would be more meaningful than those 'form' letters that most applicants provide.
  • kindly do not contact us unnecessarily (read 'faq' page first).

Due to the overwhelming volume of responses, kindly do not ask for exceptions to these guidelines--we're simply not adequately staffed to handle them.  If you have a question that's not covered here, please see our FAQ page; if your question remains unanswered, email us and we will respond as soon as possible.
