We are looking for one or two individuals to fill vital roles in our small, family owned business -- and you get to LIVE FOR FREE IN NEW ORLEAN'S!
WHO WE ARE:
We are a small boutique housing company for students, interns, and youth travelers at an affordable nightly price. We have a really nice building in the hippest part of town - the French Quarter! Just 2 blocks away from the world famous Bourbon St. and tons of night life!
WHAT YOU GET:
FREE housing in a really nice house. All utilities are paid for - that means free wifi, free cable TV, free local phone calls, rent is paid for! Additionally you'll have the chance to meet amazing fellow students, interns, and travelers from all over the world! We also provide coffee & tea, a ton of fun and free stuff to do...
The staff room IS shared - it's all communal living here! The room you share will be just you and your fellow staff members - so it is private in that sense. And there are dressers and closet space for your belongings.
WHAT THE JOB ENTAILS:
You will be expected to be "on duty" for about 30 - 35 hours per week. But this is NOT just "work"! While you will be expected to "man the front desk" to check in guests, answer questions for guests, and generally be available to ensure the guests are having a good, clean, safe time in New Orleans! Its hanging out with guests, showing students around the property, and helping with fun house events. You wont be sitting behind a desk or anything and when you're not busy - you're free to hang out!
If you've traveled internationally - that's a benefit, but certainly not a requirement. Just be willing to bring a POSITIVE ATTITUDE, be a TEAM PLAYER, and really enjoy getting to meet new and interesting people from all over the world!
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
Super friendly, outgoing, and reliable are the qualities we are seeking! We can't stress this enough -- RELIABLE, OUTGOING AND GREGARIOUS!
WHERE DO YOU APPLY?
FINE PRINT: Under Section 3(m) of the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") when calculating the "reasonable cost" of furnishing board, lodging or other facilities to the employees. More specifically, according to the applicable regulations (i.e., 29 C.F.R. §§ 531.3(c) & 531.32(a)), Sections 30c03 and 30c06 of the Department of Labor ("DOL")'s Field Operations Handbook, and the DOL's FLSA Section 14(c) Advisor, we are offering housing in exchange for work. Your hours worked will still be tracked and tallied. Your hours worked multiplied by minimum wage will be the total payroll owed to you. Any pay accrued during the pay period that is in excess of the wage credit allowed according to the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Department of Labor will be paid out. All hours worked, payroll earned, and wage credits claimed will be issued to you each payroll cycle for your records.
