Every year the lodge hires a number of new staff. Seasonal jobs at the lodge begin in early May and end in mid-September. Job openings include: dock and maintenance personnel, dining room and housekeeping personnel and kitchen assistance. Staff members who work the entire season usually earn around $7,000 to $9,000 or more. Experience in any of these jobs and boat handling are a plus. We have modern private rooms in staff housing ad you are fed and treated well. We prefer staff who do not smoke and who drink little. Many former staff members fondly recall their Chaudiere experiences especially the compensation, which is designed to attract the best in service personnel.

   However, two comments of warning: It takes a special type of person to spend most of their summer on an island focused on guest service. If you have trouble entertaining yourself during time off you may want to review your options. Secondly, you will work. This is a business not a summer camp. We are looking for mature, responsible, serious self-starters. We are seeking the best staff available and we are willing to compensate accordingly, if you fit the bill, fax your resume to me, Jerry Noel, at 317-848-6251 and be prepared for a face to face interview sometime during the winter. I usually interview at the following places: Toronto, Cambrian College, Georgian College, Sault Ste. Marie College, Canadore College and any other college or university I can fit into my schedule.
