JOB OF A LIFETIME
Have the Summer of Your Life (and get paid for it)

Pine Forest Job Application
Each year we hire more than 300 staff members from colleges and universities throughout the United States and Europe. Because we will receive almost 600 applications it's important that yours stands out; be certain to carefully complete the application to avoid a delay in processing.

About Our Hiring Process
Once we've received your application and references it will be reviewed by one of the directors. If you live in our area we might ask you to come in for an interview. If we will be recruiting at your school we'll suggest you stop by to introduce yourself. And if we're unable to meet you in person, we'll gladly conduct a lengthy interview by telephone or have you meet a former staff member.

If at any time after you've submitted your application you make alternate plans for employment please contact us. The job market for students is competitive and it would be unfair to your peers if we held a position for you that you had no intention of filling.
