Why You’ll Love This Job
With a solid $16.50 per hour and a guaranteed 40-hour work week, this is one of the most stable and rewarding roles in the program. Front desk experience looks fantastic on a CV – you’ll build real skills in customer service, communication, problem-solving and hospitality software, all while speaking English every single day with American and international guests.
Because the season runs from summer into fall, you’ll also get to experience Maine’s spectacular autumn – think crisp air, fiery foliage and quieter beaches – something most summer participants never see.
