Summer Only Positions
We typically do not hire for summer-only positions. One main reason is that our summer team members are hired and trained by the end of April. We also have many returning ambassadors in the summer, so there is no need to hire for summer-only positions. Therefore, we prioritize candidates who are able to start training in the summer, and can continue to work in the fall.
