Love games? Live in Ohio? Want to live in a freakin’ CASTLE? You’re in luck! Ravenwood Castle in New Plymouth, OH is looking for someone to teach people games and help keep up in the inn.
From the posting:
This is a salaried position, and includes living arrangements in the castle. This position is long term, and will be a part of the castle’s management team. Hospitality experience would be great, but isn’t strictly necessary.
What we’re looking for is: the ability to work hard, the willingness to learn a variety of tasks and the ability to work well within a small team.
Potential tasks on any given day include: maintenance, office work, food service, housekeeping, light cooking, tending bar, event planning and teaching and/or playing games with guests. Would require very occasional travel (to GenCon, for instance).
As Chief Game Instructor, this position will have primary responsibility for teaching games to guests of all experience levels, aiding in the design and building of our game library, and assisting with the planning and running of our two annual game conventions.
Make no bones about it, this position is a lot of work, and is anything but a traditional 9 to 5 job. But it’s also a heck of a lot of fun, and you get to be a part of something truly cool.
If you or someone you know is interested in helping us make Ravenwood Castle the premier gaming getaway destination, email me at jobs at ravenwoodcastle.com.
So, yeah. You’d get to live in a castle and play games for a living. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Do we have to live in Ohio to apply? I would gladly move if I apply and get the job.
James,
Jim from Ravenwood Castle here. You do not need to live in Ohio to apply for the position, although you would certainly need to live here to fill the position! Go ahead and send a resume and your salary requirements to jobs AT ravenwoodcastle.com, I’ll be glad to look over them. That being said, we’ve received an absolutely amazing response to this position and are moving quite quickly into scheduling preliminary interviews, so the sooner you can get me your information the better.
Thanks,
Jim
Will you have a booth or a presence at Origins. I’d love to meet and perhaps do an interview there if you find my credentials worthy.
Cheers,
Glenn
We won’t have a booth at Origins Glenn, but we’ll be wandering the show floor and game room on Thursday and Friday. Feel free to stop us and say hello!
Hi Jim, I most certainly will. I’m looking forward to making your acquaintance.
Cheers!
