Club Med Phuket

hi everyone,
I am really keen on becoming a GO at cm next year when ive finished school! Does anyone know anything about how to become a GO? Or if there are any actual GO's on this site then what did you have to do to get into a cm?? Im really interested in running mini club or helping choreograph for the GO shows every night. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all
Always Jinelle :)

Generally CM prefers people to be over 20...and some positions e.g circus, pool lifeguard and some mini club postiions require a min age of 20. But you can apply at 18. Most people don't actually get acepted first time...because they are not qualified enough etc.

You can also try for a summer position, which is called a part timer, where you help out in things like Mini Club for 6-8 weeks over christmas etc or in busy holiday periods. Which is a great way to test whether you would like the GO life.

Generally from Australia you get sent to Lindeman first then stay in Asia zone for at least 3 years...

so check out www.clubmed.com.au under 'recruitment' and it will answer all you qu's.

Hey Lizzie,
Thanks for the advice, i think doing the summer course is a really great idea! Being a student and all, as you could imagine its hard to simply go oraganise another holiday straight after this one, when im still sooo suffering from withdrawel symptoms!! so that way...i will never have to leave! even though i completely understand about it being a 'job' etc.... but SUCH A FUN ONE!!! dont u agree! what are you doing these days? whens your next cm trip?? are you an aussie??

Where is everyone? the forum has quitened down so much recently!! does ne one have any new news?? whens your next cm trip????

Maukitten must be off to Club Med...

Dear Jinelle,
My next trip is Bintan Club Med by the end of March 2004.

Dear Angelstar,
I am waiting for Maukitten's update from Phuket. Hope she has a happy stay there and will bring us news, stories when she come back.

Hey people!

I just found out that CM was featured in one of our local weekly magazine called 8 Days, sometime mid Feb 2004. It's about how to become a GO and guess what? They did an interview with the CDV of Phuket, and kept mentioning Jockey (erm, not sure if i got his name right, can't really recall. He's the "clown" of the village)

Not sure if you guys already know of this but just thought of sharing :) If anyone's interested to read the article, drop me a private message. I'll scan and email the stuff to you.

Cheers!
Jo

For me becomming a GO was the easiest job i have ever gotten.

Sent in a Resume on a Friday afternoon, they got my resume monday morning.
Monday afternoon, got a phone call from "patrick hayes" regional circus manager telling me to get a passport and that me interview was on the Tuesday.
Tues went for interview and put application in to get a passport
Tues afternoon got a phone call from Patty saying i had the job and when was the earliest you oculd leave, i said "tomorrow"

thursday picked up my passport
Friday was on a plane to CLub Med Bali to begin traing as a Circus G.O

i guess it all depend on experiance and what is available at the time.
