Work/Volunteer Opportunity We often need additional help in running the hostel and maintaining our high standards of cleanliness and customer service. If you have some free time on your hands, and would like to stay with us for a while (minimum 2 weeks), please continue reading. If you are the type of person who, while staying in a hostel, will wash all of your own dishes and leave one dirty plate in the sink because "it wasn´t mine", then you should probably stop reading because this job is probably not for you. We are looking for people who are willing to dedicate about 8 hours per day to help at the hostel. We work in different shifts, so your job might not be the same every day. We are flexible, and ask that you be flexible as well. Some of the house work duties include: washing the sheets, sweeping and mopping the floors as needed, cleaning bathrooms, taking out the garbage, cleaning out the fridges on a weekly basis, kitchen cleanliness upkeep, and maintaining general cleanliness and order of the house, meeting and greeting guests, answering phones. Other jobs might be: staying awake in the evenings and cleaning up in the night. Or we might ask you to go to the bus station or the airport with our flyers so we can recruit backpackers from their point of entry. You must speak English and have at least an intermediate level of Spanish. We also give preference to travellers who have already done some travelling in Panama, since tourist information is an important part of the job. No other special skills are needed except for the love and admiration of the color PURPLE. Since you will be living in our house with us...you must be willing to become part of our extended family and treat us with honesty and respect. We will treat you the same! To start, we offer free dorm bed and simple food (rice & beans). Please contact us by email first (don't just show up!) since we can't guarantee you a job until we meet you. We require that you stay as a paying guest for at least 2 nights, so you can see what is involved with the job. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is thinking of opening their own hostel or bed and breakfast. Thanks for your interest!
