Hi there, I would be very interested in being a part of your team. I have many years of very enjoyable hospitality and related experience and I know the white mountains very well as I am an avid skier and hiker in the area. I work part time for NH Parks and am also familiar with the other area attractions including restaurants. I love to share the beauty of this area with others. Please feel free to contact me at the enclosed email address.
Thanks, Robyn G
Hey there,
Socks here and I recently spent time at the Notch Hostel on several different occasions while hiking north on the AT.
The welcoming atmosphere and the immediate sense of belonging that comes with a stay at the Notch is certainly something I’ve not experienced anywhere else. I simply loved every minute of my time there and am eternally grateful for all that you provided for me during my stays.
With that said, I would love to have the opportunity to show my gratitude and give back to the Notch by being a part of the team.
Participating in “work for stay” projects and pitching in where I could during my stays there gave me a clear idea of what would be expected of a housekeeper at the Notch and I know, without a doubt, that I am up to the tasks that need to get done.
I am detailed oriented and am not satisfied until a job is done right and to it’s completion.
Plus, I genuinely enjoy cleaning and beautifying spaces for people’s comfort and enjoyment.
I believe, given the opportunity, that I would be a great addition to The Notch Hostel Staff.
Please, feel free to contact me via the email address accompanying this post or by phone at: 413-404-3377
I appreciate your consideration and look forward to hearing from you.
Best Always,
Socks
