Team building, kayaking, cocktail workshops, archery etc.Good work to make ends meet. It left enough time for me to focus in my studies.An outdoor instructor main requirement is an eye for dangerous situations and enough weight to steer the group away from said danger. Keep the explanation simple and short, only going over the most important rules concerning safety with a little help getting started. People tend to figure things out as they go. Some more than others, but that can be used to couple people having them help the ones less talented. Though this jobs seems simple enough, it is a nice way to learn how people behave in groups. Sometimes in competition other times in more of a solo endeavour. Also, the differences between groups of colleagues vs teams of friends or families.A fun job that works for my current situation.

Installing solar panels, general indoor and outdoor construction ranging from single to multi-day projects. The work was full-time+.These odd jobs allowed me to get into a field I had no previous experience in. This allowed me to soak up a considerable amount knowledge passed on by my colleagues. Some aspects that peaked my interest the most were the processes a project goes through and the incredible variety of specialists needed along the way. I found the intricacies of planning and developing large scale projects and the political and legal games played between client and contractor astounding. Though my position generally meant I was to assist specialists at their job, this allowed me to pick up knowledge from all of them, and kept me at a job site long enough to observe the overarching process.Some of the companies I working from during this time were Hemubo, E-turn, Waterwise as well as various freelancing carpenters.I stoped because I wanted to put more time into my goals and education.

Handling and training sled dogs and guiding tour groups.What an incredible experience it was to have lived and worked in an extreme environment like Northern Finnish Lapland. The raw natural beauty, deafening silence, the feeling of the sun after two months of darkness and riding the sled while having your path lit by the green and pink glow of a whipping aurora overhead were simply awe inspiring... and I got payed for it!All jokes aside, it was hard but rewarding work and it being something completely different from anything else I had ever undertaken means I got to learn a lot, quickly, for being so far from civilisation brings with it a need for self-reliance on a completely different level from what this dutch city kid was used to.Winters and spring consisted of feeding the dogs, cleaning their cages while taking groups for tours around the area. Summer means the dogs get a break and the mushers work down backlog of repairs and of course feeding and cleaning the dog cages. During fall training starts to get the dogs in shape for the coming season.I stopped due to strict COVID regulation making it neigh impossible to run a farm. Also, though the work is physically and emotionally demanding, intellectually it left something to be desired.

Bartender in supervising role.

My first day was the day MingleMush first opened its doors. At first as a bartender, and over time with added responsibilities such as creating menu, ordering inventory and supervising duties. I had the pleasure of working alongside fantastic people with whom I worked hard at creating the wonderful hospitality establishment it is today.

As ambassador you work in a team of 3 to 5 others rotating a variety of jobs ranging from frontdesk, bartending and kitchen work. On occasion it will be required to do housekeeping and general hotel maintenance. The hotel contains 215 rooms so even though you are working a bar shift you are required to douse fires by jumping into the kitchen or in front of the frontdesk all the while keeping the lobby immaculate.

I shot and edited dance recitals of which the videos were intended for revision, various trailers and full shows in a multi-cam set-up for commercial purposes.

After having volunteered here they decided to offer me a part-time job which combined well with my school schedule. Really loved this job and think back on it often.

During my internship I have been tasked with setting up beamers, lights, mics, camera's, etc throughout the school. Additionally I shot and edited videos further informing potential future students of what certain class curriculums entail.

Great job to stay fit and make some money on the side while studying.
