No industry has been impervious to the pandemic, and while travel and social restrictions have loosened considerably, most businesses that rely on labour are still looking for seasonal and full-time employees. For those people who like to play outdoors, there are exquisite and picturesque lodges that need all kinds of staff. For the right person, this can be that “experience of a lifetime” job opportunity that historically has been very hard to land.
Over the past few days, we had several incoming calls asking if we knew anyone looking to guide sportfishing boats. This prompted us to ask around and see what openings local businesses in the industry currently have. Below is what was sent in. We suggest if you see something that catches your eye, you contact them with post-haste to find out more.
