Why do you have to live in NYC? Why can't you do it from your own computer?

 

[Peeta]

There are prizes that need to be shipped and things like that. Being able to come into our offices in Manhattan is a requirement. Sorry about that.

And the burning question on everyones mind is??? What area is the ski pass for? Just my opinion but you might get alot more responses if it is for somewhere like Hunter as oppossed to oh i dunno Campgaw?

Pardon me if I'm highlighting the obvious, isn't "NYC" and "planning on doing a lot of skiing" an oxymoron?

Now hold on there sled. I know patrollers who would commute from Long Island to Jay Peak every other weekend. I know other patrollers that live in Weschester County that patrol at Whiteface almost every weekend. Of course that was back in the days of 19 cents a gallon of gas.

I say we send in a spy or mole to get this job and then report back.

I was thinking that too.

We were looking for someone who would go to one of the ASC resorts about two weekends a month.

Well if you change your mind and it is something that can done from home I would be interested.

Hey it doesn't hurt to throw it out there

 

[BeanoNYC]

It seems that with 8 years media relations experience for a Major TV Network, my Current teaching position and my being 12 miles from Manhattan that I am the only AZer qualified!!! :roll: Too bad I already have an ASC pass.

You could always do all the work and give the pass to me.

If I could do it remotely, and if it was full-time, I'd be all over it. Oh well...

 

[BeanoNYC]

I have a minor in marketing, actually. I just can't guarantee that the 48 hours/month are on my schedule. If I could go remotely and into the office a few times a month I would seriously consider it. Since they're doing something with asc...maybe free lodging would be the cincher! Can you say ski on-ski off?

The ny thing rules me out. Thats two nice ski jobs. Sr has a similar job posted full time.
My wife keeps telling me I should get back into it. Maybe in 10 or 15 years. Beano. Go back into the corporate world. The kids don't need you.;-)
