Skijobs in France - some questions
I would have some questions about "skijobs", so working in a French skiresort:
- what about the language skills, is a must to speak French or it's enough to speak in English/German to get a job as a skiinstructor, bartender, hotelstuff etc?
- usually how many get you per month as a skiinstructor, bartender, hotelstuff (I mean the net payment)
- do you get a free room during the winterseason (in some Austrian skiresort you will get a free stuff room)
- do you get a free season skipass if you don't work as a skiisntructor, so example as a hotel/restaurant stuff or maybe some discount?
- as a skiinstructor do you need a French Skiinstructor Certification or also the Austrian/German etc certifications are suitable
- will the work permit organized by your employer or it's your own exercise?
What about to do a season in the Pyrenäen mountains, it's harder to find a job there, than in the Alps?
Thank in advance
I hope , that somebody can help me and answer my questions
cheers

Are you an EU national? That will have some bearing.

Not in mega resorts, there are enough brits to spare you the hassle of dealing with the locals. But, on a personal note, I think it's bad form.

"Typically euro, french in particular, in my opinion. It's the same skiing or climbing there. They are completely unfazed by their own assholeness. Like it's normal." - srsosbso

As PhillipeR said. Go to www.natives.co.uk almost any job about working in a french ski resort can be answered there. Some answers are hidden deep withing the site. You also have to ignore all the stuff about Brits following the national pastime (getting drunk) and look for the ski/work info.
