IMPORTANT: Please respond with a message by letting me know:

#4) Individuals who can manage delayed gratification and impulse control are deemed better candidates, tell me a story of your controls.
#5) How do you interpret our Company culture with the following story: " I Hired a good friends work colleague of many years to be with us. This person showed up for one shift then got impaired and missed the start of next shift. I had the manager fire that person. That person didn't think I was reasonable, yet I gave them an extra day to become non-impaired and exit staff accommodations on the next day, safely."
#6) Can you answer this complex problem for me:
"A New Staff reads question #5 then answers it in an affirmative way that this is a safe culture and appropriate action taken. Then within weeks they are impaired and time-clock into to work and shortly after want to discuss why they were immediately terminated." It is complex for our Team, as it is seems strange, that they would want to move here for 2 days as in question #5 or for a couple weeks as in this case. If you cannot answer why people might do this, it is ok, because of decades of experience I am at a loss to, but if you have any insight we could all use the help to understand.
Please, for yourself, if you are either of these types of people in #5 / #6 do not waste your time and instead go get help with your Addiction, please seek immediate Doctor's or AA Help in your community.
#7) Are you willing to be in a Shared Accommodation for 8 Weeks, until a Private Accommodation becomes available at the 1st of September?
#8) Do you have a Vehicle (and if so would like to be in a private cabin 6 minute drive from the Resort)
#9) Are you willing to be trained as a Server 1st, before opportunities to Cook are presented?
#10) GO to Couples Resort website and access Contacts to email the Resort with your Answers, and the Resort will forward your resume to me.
Hope to have you join us.
Sincerely John S. Owner since 1967.
