Where are you from?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was born and raised in Oakville, Ontario, but I moved to Toronto to attend school at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) and lived there for about 6 years before moving to Collingwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. How long have you been working at Blue?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve been lucky to work at Blue for almost 5 months since mid-June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. What made you decide to apply for a position with Blue Mountain?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I told my friends that I was moving to work at Blue, one of them responded \u201cIt\u2019s like you manifested this for yourself.\u201d which gave me a good laugh. Partly because I\u2019ve never been much of a believer in manifestation, but also because she was kind of right. For a few years since the pandemic began, my partner and I started seriously considering moving out of Toronto, the city we both adored and called home, to the Collingwood area since he has family in Wasaga Beach. We\u2019ve spent a week here each summer and fall for as long as we\u2019ve been together and would make the drive up many weekends in the winter to night ski with our 5\u00d77\u00ae\u00a0Passes or stay in the Village for an extended long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blue136of418-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16596\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blue136of418-scaled.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blue136of418-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blue136of418-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blue136of418-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blue136of418-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blue136of418-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blue136of418-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blue136of418-550x367.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When evaluating what we wanted from our life, we concluded that Collingwood would be a better long-term lifestyle fit for us, since we love to bike, hike, ski &amp; snowboard, swim, kayak, visit breweries, and more. We\u2019re also excited to hopefully purchase our first home next year, something we knew would take much longer to achieve in Toronto or the GTA. My best-case scenario was always working at Blue, ideally in Marketing, making content that I loved and enjoying all that the Mountain has to offer. When I received a careers email for the perfect open role (yes I had HR notifications on #nerdalert) I jumped at the chance to apply. I\u2019m proud to say that I was able to truly make my dream come true and feel honoured that the Blue crew welcomed me with open arms!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. What department do you work for?\u202f What is your position?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My title is Social Media &amp; Content Specialist, as part of the Communications team in the Marketing Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. What was your work experience in the past?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started in social media work at a digital media company making interior design online content for about a year and a half. While there, I also started freelancing for several small businesses on the side, which I still do today. I then worked at as a Social Media Specialist for several Canadian retailers before joining Blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_2-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16604\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_2-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_2-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_2-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_2-750x600.jpg 750w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_2-550x440.jpg 550w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. What things were important to you when looking for in a job in your field?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When looking for new roles in my field, I\u2019ve always believed in only applying to companies I know I\u2019d be excited to work for. In my professional experiences, I\u2019ve worked for some awesome teams that value employee retention, sustainability, equity, diversity and inclusion, and who treat their customers and their talent with respect, all values that I share. Mainly, I wanted a manager and a team who would champion my work, provide adequate feedback when addressing my mistakes, and who liked to have as much fun as I do while still getting the work done. Because I had experience in contract work, I wanted a position that was permanent with health benefits, fair compensation, and regular working hours that fit my lifestyle. All of the above were offered in my role at Blue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. What were some of the biggest barriers to finding employment?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I was in the city, there was a much larger talent pool when applying to jobs so it was always tough to cut through the crowd and stand out. In Collingwood, there was a lack of roles in my field that provided everything that I listed above, so I had to seek out individual companies I was interested in to see their postings, rather than rely so heavily on job boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_3-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16605\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_3-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_3-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_3-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_3-750x600.jpg 750w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_3-550x440.jpg 550w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. What has been the best part of your experience so far?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The people at Blue are the GOAT. Due to the nature of my role, I get to interact with many staff members across the whole resort, and I love that I get to be my natural social butterfly self with people who often match my energy. I also love that there is a healthy mix of desk work, outdoors work, and work from home opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. What has been your biggest challenge?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest challenge is meeting friends outside of Blue. While I love who I work with, my partner and I are slowly meeting new people in town to make new friends and create relationships that we\u2019re hoping will last a lifetime. I\u2019ll always have my friends back home, but I want to experience living here as much as possible rather than driving to and from the city every month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_4-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16606\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_4-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_4-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_4-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_4-750x600.jpg 750w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_4-550x440.jpg 550w, https:\/\/thebarn.bluemountain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Allie_4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. What are you looking forward to most at Blue Mountain?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m so excited for the snow to hit the Mountain and for ski season to begin. I\u2019ve been a skier all my life and I can\u2019t wait to start making more winter content to share on our social pages. Plus, the apr\u00e8s this year is going to be like none other now that I live in town!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. What\u2019s your biggest piece of advice for someone applying at Blue Mountain?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My biggest piece of advice is to 1. Be yourself, and 2. Turn on your employment email notifications! When applying, I never would have known of this position if I hadn\u2019t researched it before and turned on those notifications for the marketing department. And I never would have been offered the role if I wasn\u2019t my usual bubbly self during the interview. There\u2019s something to say about the culture of Blue Mountain \u2013 you don\u2019t need to have the loudest laugh or shred the most gnar, but you do need to put your best self forward, be honest with your capacity for taking on new challenges, and have fun with the opportunities you will most definitely get!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Are you interested in applying to Blue Mountain this season?
