OUR OFFERS
WHAT MAKES BOOBOOSKI'S OFFERS SO APPEALING?
There are many Resort jobs available in Japan every winter.
But it’s extremely important to check what your offer does (& doesn’t!) provide.
First, let’s focus on the Salary.
The hourly wage on our website might look lower than other offers, but when looking at the extras provided, our offers are some of the best.
To make it clear how much you actually get per month, here’s a few real-world examples (based on an average 170 hour working month):
"A" COMPANY
- 1000 yen/hr x 160hours 160,000 yen
- 20% tax deduction -32,000 yen
- Dormitory (1000yen/day) -31,000yen
- Food (500yen/day) -15,500 yen
- Lift Pass
Total (not including Lift Pass):
81,500 yen/month
Lift pass is usually not provided (or is discounted). A discounted pass will still cost you about 60,000 – 80,000yen! 100,000yen+ at full price.
BOOBOOSKI
- 1050 yen/hr* x 160hours 168,000 yen
- 20% tax deduction -33,600 yen
- Dormitory (450yen/day) -13,950
- Food (450yen/day) -13,950
- Ski Lift Pass Included
Total (in your Pocket)
106,500 Yen/month
*This is one example of one resort. Some have even less deductions than this while still providing food and accommodation and a free lift pass! Exact pay details will be sent to you in your tentative job offer.
"B" COMPANY
- 1600 yen/hr x 160hours 256,000 yen
- 20% tax deduction -51,200 yen
- Dormitory (20,000yen/week) -80,000
- Food not provided so expect to spend about 40,000yen/month
- Lift Pass
Total (not including Lift Pass):
84,800 yen/month
Food costs could exceed 40,000yen when cooking for yourself, and any cut in hours significantly impacts your take-home pay due to such high deductions.
Lift pass is usually not provided (or is discounted). A discounted pass will still cost you about 60,000 – 80,000yen! 100,000yen+ at full price.
As you can see, you should always factor in all the extra costs not specified in your Offer, before making your decision on which to accept! Deductions and costs are far more important than the hourly wage. Compare our offers to Company B. They pay an extra 550yen/hr but you still come out with less each month even BEFORE you consider the cost of buying your lift pass. At all of our resorts your lift pass is FREE.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF BOOBOOSKI'S OFFERS
We’ve been working with many Hotels & Resorts all around Japan for almost 20 years. By applying once on our website, you will be considered for a Position at ALL the Resorts we represent.
Many available positions around Japan are run by foreign-owned companies. Most of the Hotels & Resorts we represent are owned by Japanese, with Japanese staff, meaning you get a REAL cultural experience, and a great chance to improve your Japanese language!
We offer 24/7 assistance for the entire time you’re in Japan, and have staff on the ground to help with anything you need.
There is no cost to apply for our programs. We only charge a 10,000yen (USD$100) Transport Fee when you arrive in Japan, which includes delivery to your Resort and a full Orientation to prepare you for your experience.
There is a security deposit also, but that is fully refundable at the end of your contract unless your damage your dormitory, in which case damage cost will be deducted from your security deposit. More info about that in your Tentative Job Offer.
Ski Resorts are like Disney Land. They need to be fully open and operational all day, everyday – even if there aren’t many customers. In that way, you’re guaranteed to work a decent amount of hours.
It’s common at foreign hotels, bars, restaurants, and rental companies to send staff home as soon as they’re not busy. While that might be nice occasionally, it means you get paid significantly less – and as you can see above, the deductions there are often much higher. Without the working hours at the higher hourly wage, the deductions can quickly become a significant burden.
That’s not the case at our resorts. You’ll be needed at your restaurant / ski-lift / rental station regardless of how busy it is because the resort needs to be fully operational for anyone that comes.
Lift passes at many establishments are not included. Or maybe they have a couple of passes for all staff to share (meaning no guarantee you can get it when you want it).
Some foreign companies will give you a discounted pass – usually they ask you to buy it yourself (about 100,000yen) and then offer to pay you back X amount as a contract completion bonus. You’re still up for the total at the start, and even if they pay for half at the end of your contract, you’ve still paid 50,000yen for a pass our resorts hand out for FREE.
Working for the Ski Resort you’ll get your own personal ski lift pass for FREE!
The resorts we represent offer contracted positions which give job security. You won’t suddenly be asked to leave as soon as the Christmas and New Year period is over, or mid-way through the season as the tourist numbers slow. You’re guaranteed a job until the end of the season.
When waking up in the morning, or after a long day, the last thing you’ll want to do is cook a meal!
At our resorts, three meals a day are provided by the resort.
Because everyone goes to work and comes home from work about the same time, everyone will often eat breakfast & dinner together in the staff cafeteria. So the meal times become a daily ritual and a great way to meet everyone, make friends, and bond!
Lunch is a lunch box which is sent to your work station on work days, and left at the cafeteria for you on your holidays.
These are just some of the benefits to getting a position through us. By looking around our website you’re bound to find many more!
We hope you are excited about working in the ski resorts this winter, and we look forward to helping you secure a job!
