Stanford Sierra Conference Center

UPDATES: Hiring! September 3rd to November 9th

Hiring:

There's no better name for what you'll be doing than "all-purpose". Your day will typically consist of anywhere from 2-4 shifts. A day may start off doing Hobart in the morning (washing dishes - a staff favorite when paired with wearing a costume), working the boat dock in the afternoon, and in our retail store at night. Our best AP staffers have a diverse skill set and can excel in all hospitality related tasks. This schedule allows you to take full advantage of our beautiful surroundings. If you don't have experience in all hospitality related fields of work that's completely fine! As long you're a quick learner and a people-person you'll be great!

Kitchen staff will work either a split shift during the day or a straight shift. Both schedules allow ample time to take advantage of our beautiful surroundings! You'll be learning from our highly experienced executive and sous chefs. We prepare 3 healthy meals a day for our guests and staff with gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Our food offerings range from simple fare done right like hamburgers, pizza, and an extensive salad bar to elk steaks, rabbit stew, duck breast, and more! On "down days", when we have no guests, kitchen staff are encouraged to get creative and try new recipes for the staff to try! Our best kitchen staffers have a diverse culinary background, excel in working both independently as well as part of a team, and have a zeal for learning in the kitchen.
