Your dream job is but a click away.
A job in surf is a thrilling adventure. Close your eyes and picture with me, if you will, warm salt water gently dousing your tanned face. Trips to far-flung and exotic islands where the waves break only for you and also a handful of professional surfers. Funny drinking games with like-minded gentleman deep into the night. And getting paid for all of it! Because it is your job! Because you work in surf!
I have lived this dream for many years and now you can too because our economy is finally coming back into the light and Surfline is hiring. Yesterday the surf-centric wave forecasting company sent out a tweet seeking customer relationship specialists, front-end web developers and, maybe the crème de la crème, a human resources manager.
The human resources manager “contributes to the accomplishment of Human Resources practices and objectives that will provide an employee-oriented, high performance culture that emphasizes empowerment, quality, productivity and standards, goal attainment, and the recruitment and ongoing development of a superior workforce. The Human Resources Manager will be responsible for all functions in the HR department including hiring and recruiting, benefits management, maintaining employee records, ensuring employee morale, coordinating company events, etc.”
Can you feel the warm salt water gently dousing your tanned face? Can you? Apply here and the best of luck. I hope to see you in the water. And by “water” I mean “cubicle.” And by “see you” I mean not.
Ha! Great article! Love the imagery. I’ve actually worked at Surfline in the tech dept for almost 10 years now and as you allude to, its a full-time job where you have to give your all. Its not always warm salt-water and empty lineups, and some days you may not lift up your head until you notice its already dark outside. But whenever the waves are good out front, you’ll see most of us grabbing a lunch-time surf. We also have our fair share of fun events where we can get away from the grind.
OMG!!! This is the BEST post EVERRRRRR!!! <3 <3 <3
Genius. Best thing I’ve seen on a surf site ever.
