FAQs

 

If I cannot stay until the second day after Labor Day and am willing to forfeit the bonus, can I still work there?

No! We rely on our staff to "put the club to bed" for the winter prior to their departure.  This cannot be accomplished in the allotted time by any fewer than the full crew.  To be considered for employment and to be considered for the bonus you must commit to working through September 3, 2025.

What do you mean, written work reference?

A recommendation, in writing, from a previous employer, which should contain a favorable statement concerning their opinion of your character and qualifications for the job you are seeking. 

Avoid academic references and those provided by family-run businesses,

as those circumstances are inevitably too 'warm & fuzzy' to be objective.

 
What if I prefer to live elsewhere on the island with friends?

That's fine but your compensations will not change if you don't take advantage our our housing.

 

Do I need a car?

No, but a bike is handy!  The club is  5 minute walk and a 3 minute ferry ride

from Edgartown and its movie theaters, shops and restaurants.

 

Why a personal interview?

 We feel that it is important to get a good 'snapshot of an applicant. 

It is equally important that the prospective employee get a good sense of the beach club. 

Our environment is unique and coming here can be useful in determining if it is the right one for you.

 
What are the accommodations like?

Staff accommodations consist of single sex, double-occupancy bunkrooms on the beach, with beds, dressers and under bed storage unit/closet.  Across the street is a fully-equipped staff kitchen/commons area, complete with telephone/Internet access and a laundry. 

All these are provided at no cost to the students who work here,

however you must provide your own food.
