NS "classifieds"

As I am sort of looking for a "real" job in the ski industry, I began to think that it would be cool if NS had a job posting area where companies could post about job openings or something like that. I guess most of the members on this are too young to really use something like that, but what do you guys think?

that would be cool, i think alot of pro hoes or younger members might end up "spamming" companies if they gave out to much contact info

Maybe not even just for 'real' jobs either, how about helping people be ski bums, so basically any jobs on the mountain or in ski towns, surely there would be enough interest in that to make it worthwhile?

That would be awesome, but it might also make me drop out of school.

i'd like that industry jobs are so illusive, if you dont know the right people, its hard to know what even to apply to.

thats part of the nature of the job. knowing the right people shows that you have been around the ski scene for a while, and know whats up.

I like the idea, maybe even to extend it like some of you said. Seasonal jobs and internships could be really nice to listed in a collective place for our sport.

I'm with Julie. This would be a great idea. Freelance writers don't make dick. :-)

A classifieds section for ski industry jobs would be amazing. I'm about to graduate with a degree in marketing and would love to work somewhere in the industry.
