You cant decide by yourself which resort you end up in, thats all decided by the management. However you can request where you wana go and i'd imagine they'd would try and help you out. When your in training just stress that you realise working in the lively resorts is not like being on holiday and that you understand that. A lot of people think going on holiday to a resort is the same and working that resort....its not, trust me! Also, if you dont get the resort you want dont panic, reps leave and get moved around and the lively resorts like kavos need more reps in high season (when all the fun happens!). for example in faliraki, olympic had 4 reps there in high season last year, wheras in low season there was just 1! in low season faliraki was dead. So just because kavos is lively in july aug and september, it will be different in other months. hope you get what you want

hiya i went to corfu ull luv it. we went to falarki to do trainning if ur goin begin of april ull prob be doin it there u stay in a dead nice hotel, n theres a bar open called underground with an american fella mikey ownin it hes brill. u do alot of intense work its really annoin i hated trainnin, but sum parts are fun. u learn how to do and present welcome meetings and practise ur coach transfer speach on the microphone really weird at first. ull be tested on the back of the olympic brochure so get readin it to give u a head start. ul be there for 9 days them if ur goin to corfu ull do a 2 wk trainnin out there ours was in ipsos last year. ull meet ur island manager which is joe shes lovely and ur head rep. to get kavos coz its young and lively just be dead confident and very outgoin but dont make out to them ur there for a party. i was is in sidari i loved it its not as mad as kavos but its busy and all the bars r open till end of season. theres quite a few reps from last yr goin bk 2 corfu there all brill

Huuummm I worked for Olympic last season and I have worked for Escapaes as well going 2wentys this year. At the mo Esces are the best by a long shot! just make sure that you get your money back that you are paying them for a deposit for the uniform ect! as I and a lot of others did not after a season Corfu is cool tho I was in Sidari and the Loxides and Marianna rock!"
If you have a driving lience take the car that they offer you otherwise you will be riding around in the hot sun with no air con! ave a wicked summer guys! |

hi emma louise.
I repped last summer but due to me going really late (end of june) i was rushed through very basic training. Not that im complaining, i hate training. You mentioned a few posts ago that you get tested on the stuff in the brochures. What kind of stuff do you mean? cheers, steve

Hiya
it was stuff like when theres plane delays what ugot after so many hours. n age restrictions on child prices n hire of cots between hotels n apartments. other stuff like olympics rules for evictin people and if they break the terms and conditions, all the small print in the back of the olympic brochure u haveto learn n getted tested on it. n u av to get so may right before carryin on with trainin u get 2 or 3 attempts i think or they just said that to make us learn it. were u in falaraki |

well i might skim over it before i leave then, all sounds pretty simple though!
I did my training in faliraki and thats where i was supposed to rep but at the last second a rep resigned in the south so i had to rep the rest of the season down in pefkos. Out of the reps who started the season, quite a few left - which was good for me as i wouldnt have had a job!
