| I was gonna go quite smart, the email never said anything about what to wear did it. I'm going for a children's rep, you? |

| yeah do go smart, im a kids rep, theres questions about health and safety, working in a team, how you distract children as we have them from 8.30 in the morning till 5.30 at night so its a long day, we take them sailing, kayaking, windsurfing but dont worry if you cant do them, you'll do nanny training in which you'll learn them. |

| It sounds really good :D Do you have to do like a presentation or anything lol |

| yeah a suit would be fine you may not need a suit jacket if you do a group interview but wear what you feel comfortable in too, in mine I didnt need a presentation I had a one to one interview and thats it but a lot of other guys do a group activity then the one to one so not too sure what happens in the group one, its not really hard so im sure you guys will do great :D any particular place you wanna go to? |

Ive been offered Neislon as Lifeguard / Swim Teacher. I got the email last Friday saying I had been succesfull and interview and they wanted to offer me a contract , I would get another email shortly with more details such as dates and resorts etc etc. Its been a week now and I still haven't found out where I'm going. I could really do with finding out as Mark Warner have offered me a similar job , so I'd like to get as much info as possible from each one so I can make the best informed decision! How long did it take from getting the job to you finding out which resort you were going to?

| Yeah I rang them on Friday , apparently the reason its taken so long is because the woman who deals with the lifeguards is annual leave. I have to decide Mark Warner or Neilson tomorrow , aaaah! |

| have u checked out the hotels mark warner do because the neilson ones look SWEET |
Posted By: crazycris271
Date Posted: 19 February 2012 at 21:35

| good lad and good look in sivota. heard a rumour everyone goes to halkidiki first but not sure if thats true will see i guess. did u get the email where u have to accept and send off references? |
Posted By: crazycris271
Date Posted: 21 February 2012 at 03:41
Yeah I do remember them saying at the assesment day everyone spends a week in Halkidiki doing the training for which ever area they are working. I havent got the email yet, the only reason I know where I'm going is because I emailed them saying I had another offer which needed to know by the end of today so if i could have the info on my resort and dates then I would be able to make a better more informed decision

| i was on the reserve list but just got an email today to say i had been accepted, they said i was going to Halkidiki, but they said that this may be changed closer to my start date. |

| Ye the Rhodes resort looks well nice its where my parents are going in summer but working for neilson is much better and if you have a good season there is a high chance that you will be offered a season next year |

| @Alex123 ... yeah I am on the reserve list at the min as I cant start til may same as you because of uni exam, I only went for my interview on tuesday though so I guess I am at the bottom of the list at the min, how long was it after your interveiw that you got accepted?? I am keeping my fingers crossed and checking my emails everyday!! I am going to the training week so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I get something soon!! |

| i had mine at the end of january so a couple of months ago and only recieved my offer on wednesday but unlike you i havn't been told anything about a training week, perhaps its because im being sent to halkidiki which is where they train the staff anyway |
Posted By: NickCraig89
Date Posted: 26 March 2012 at 01:02
| @alex123 ... Yeah that's probably it, you flying on 19/20 April?? That's when we are all flying for training. I am sure you will be there!! Haha so I could have a bit of a wait yet then, I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed and hope I get an offer soon!! I think they only have 1 or 2 interview dates left so hopefully I'll get something after that :) |
