Hi Nat.

I'm attending the training at Des Ormes as well. Are you actually staying on that site? I am there for the season :)

Yes this is our first season to, I cant wait!

When will you leave then, does your training start on 24th April? Im still waiting to hear about our transport. Me and my partner are going together.
 
Did you want to be in France?
 
Are you close to Portsmouth or was it cheaper from there?

Hello everyone,

Me and my partner are attending an interview in a couple of weeks for Thompson Al Fresco. We are both new to seasonal work and hoping we are successful!

What dates did you guys put on you app forms for a start date? If your both going to Des Ormes, do you think that means everyone has training there?

Hi Gemma!

I put that I was available from 11th April. I'm not sure how it works with regards to training locations though!

Best of luck with your interview!

Hi Gemma,
 
My parter has asked for a career break do be able to do this job and can only be away for 5 months and I said I would be available from May - September but they have asked me to go on training on 24th April so i said thats fine but ill need to come back about the same time in September.
 
No there are a few different training dates, there is another one on 18th/19th March and im sure theyll be some more after to!

Hello!!!

Can anyone offer any advice on the interview? what to wear? take anything?
 
Do they employ most people they interview, ie are they desperate for employees?
 
I am confident i will get the job, but i just want it so bad!!!!
 
I am going to the interview with my partner, will this be beneficial to our chances of gaining employment??
 
Any advice, information would be so helpful and appreciated! 
 
Thankyou

We`re going to Bella for training beginning of April with Alfresco.
Anyone know what this involves.
 
A wee bit nervous because apparently you have to pass this to get carry on to proper placement.

Thanks Kirsty,
 
this is all new to us but although a bit nervous really excited too.
 
We`re at Mar Estang, unfortunately as it`s Alfresco first season there it doesn`t open until late May.
 
We do training then come home for a month. Cry

Ohh doesn't it, it'll be better to go back in april/may anyway it'll be warmer than it is now! 

dont worry honestly, everyone is really nice, and you'll have a good time, it was my first season last year, was so nervous and had nothing to worry about
