SPA QUESTIONS AND SPA ANSWERS: Spa Jobs
by Susie Ellis

Since I receive quite a few Ask Susie questions from Club Spa and the Ask Susie column in Luxury SpaFinder Magazine - and can only answer a few each month - I thought I would answer some in my blog. Here are two questions which represent a subject I get asked about quite often:

QUESTION
The spa industry looks interesting. How would I go about getting a job?
or
We are in need of some new, excited aesthetcians in our spa. Where are great places to post help-wanted ads?

ANSWER
I think websites are the way to go these days when it comes to finding (or posting) a job. I have compiled a list of those related to the spa industry.

ISPA
Spa Opportunities
SpaFinder
Spa Trade
Spa Wire
Day Spa Association
Spa Jobs
Hospitality Online
Leisure Jobs UK
Spa and Salon Jobs
SpaTrends
Esthetics SuperSite

If you are interested in the executive level, you might consider an executive search firm. One I know well is: Greger-Peterson Associates, Inc. in Portland, Oregon. They specialize in Hospitality and Spa Positions (High Level Only).

If you know of any other spa-oriented websites or resources...please let me know and I will add them to the list.

(Also, in response to some requests, if you wish to be put on a list that automatically sends my blog posts to your email, just let dulcy.gregory@spafinder.com know and she will add you to that list. Thanks so much!)
