SUMMER 2010 INTERNSHIPS AVAILABLE
FRONT DESK
JOB DESCRIPTION FOR SUMMER 2010
Duties:
Intern/employees will typically handle front desk, reservations, breakfast and help with other meals, oversee housekeeping and in an emergency, even make up a room, sales, marketing, distributing fliers, etc. One will be responsible for everything that goes on in the Inn. For example, if for some reason a room doesn't get completed by a housekeeper, or we just need add'l help, you will be asked to help!!
There is also the possibility of working in our tennis shop or tennis academy in an emergency or if you are interested.
Generally staff work 51 hours per week and additionally serve as the Manager-On-Duty (MOD) overnight, once weekly. When serving as the MOD you may stay in your room or around the Inn, but you are the first contact point if someone needs help or if the phone rings.
Positions pay $200/week ($150 plus $50 per week bonus if one completes commitment).
Free housing
There are also 2 positions available where the staff will be paid $100 per week but only work 30 hours per week. These are for the less experienced students.
It is very important that we know the exact dates you are able to work. Additionally, any time off that you will need we request to know ahead of time. Please keep in mind that $50 of your salary is considered a bonus and is only payable upon the completion of your commitment. Therefore, please make sure you are as accurate as possible with the respective start, end dates, and any time off requests you may have. If for any reason you fail to complete your commitment or your
employment is terminated; your bonus will be forfeited in its entirety. You are also invited and encouraged to join our tennis clinics on your off hours free of charge. (Pending availability).
Housing is included/subsidized
The housing provided is usually quite Spartan. There are two-four spots in the Inn for housing. There is also a share house 4 blocks away which is REALLY Spartan. There is a possibility that we could let you stay in a guest room in the Inn. We would give you a massive discount. However, it will cost between $125-150 per week per person, and rooms will require at least two people. These rooms MAY have A/C but are Spartan. They are 9 x 10 and do not have a closet. However, we will provide storage for your belongings should you need more space. Inn Guests pay up to $800 weekly for these rooms. Please note, housing is massively expensive in this area. We estimate the value of the housing to be approximately $250 per week, despite how Spartan it is. This includes the share house. For those staying in the Inn, The difference between what you are paying and the regular rate is approximately $250-300 per week. If you are staying in the share house, you will be permitted to spend weekday nights in the Inn at no charge should you like more space. (Pending availability). Your immediate family will be permitted to stay weekdays for a certain number of nights (Pending availability). There is a rate for family and friends weekdays only. Friends are discouraged from visiting on the weekends.
You will be provided work clothing which we will launder for you. You must be neat and clean at all times. You also may wear khakis and polo-type shirts. All personal laundry must be done off premise. You will be given kitchen privileges but under no circumstances may you eat Inn guestsÂ’ or other staff membersÂ’ food. The Village is around the corner. There is a supermarket and a drug store within walking distance.
Transportation is provided as necessary. This is a great place to work if you donÂ’t have a car. A bicycle would be perfect. Internet access is available; however, staff use of the Grassmere office computer for anything other than Grassmere business is strictly prohibited. We monitor the computer usage remotely. You also must refrain from bringing your laptop into the front office when on duty. We have found that staff were constantly instant messaging or were distracted
when their laptops were in the front office.
It would be very helpful if you review our website and all of the other materials my office has sent to you to further understand our businesses, their synergies and what we do. If you are still
interested in the position, or if you have any further questions, please give me a call or an email. If you are interested, please be ready to give me your start & end dates, and any day off requests you may have.

Attention! New Event Internship
My name is Sherry Kelly, and I am the manager of Ten Thousand Villages at Market Square in Tallahassee. The store is a unique gift shop marketing the handmade jewelry, home decor and textiles from artisans in developing countries where they are paid a living wage for their work. This mission of Fair Trade places us in a non-profit status but requires funds for the cost of doing business as a retailer. To maintain inventory levels and pay the necessary costs associated with business, we depend upon fund raisers and donations to fill the gap.
We have selected a beautiful and interesting venue for a "cafe style" fund raiser that we are planning in April 2010. Because we have successfully worked with an intern from the FSU Retail Center, we realize the value and creativity that come from working with enthusiastic students. If you would consider placing an intern with us who possesses strong event planning skills, we would appreciate the assistance in our upcoming fund raiser.
please forward Resumes my email Tallahassee@tenthousandvillages.com . If you would like to contact me for further details, please do so via email at sherrykelly@comast.net or at your convenience you may call 850/906-9010
Thank you for your time and consideration.

An Old Friend
Boy, do I have special surprise for all of you! I ran into Tim Middleton this morning! Tim was super excited to see one of his Dedman peeps. He says "Hi". If you're ever in the COB stop in on the third floor and see him.
Green Alarm Clock
Located in the office, nestled between a stapler and a stack of printer paper is a bright, obnoxiously green alarm clock. This little green monster has gone unnoticed until now. Many of the office inhabitants have been questioned, but alas no light has been shed on this matter. A reward of one Dedman School bottle of water and a stick of gum from Caitlin's desk will be given to anyone with information about this clock.
Welcome!
This blog will keep you up to date with all the latest news about what's happening at Dedman!
