Replying to What's the best way for a brit to get employed in whistler?

Hi
I'm coming out to vancouver/whistler on about the 20th of october.

A month ago I applied with intrawest for an interview in vancouver later this month, I didn't get it because they said they had people with more experience applying, which is fair enough, because I applied for operations and have no experience of that.
I do have a few years of retail and bar work, though.

In the first week of october they open more interview slots for their november job fair. This is where I need help.
What do intrawest look for in their employees, I really want to get working for them so I can get the lift pass, and possibly the housing.

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
