Southwinds Harbor Marina Work Values

Daily Duties at Southwinds Harbor Marina :

I started at Southwinds my freshman year is High School. I started out as a gas dock attendant. As a gas dock attendant I was responsible for direct the boat to the dock, tying the boat up to the dock, and assist with fueling, I loved it! I was outside all day; talking to people it was great. The following summer I was given more responsibilities as a dock hand. I trained the new gas attendant, working the counter and register at the snack/bait shop. I would take the reading for the tank and order fuel when necessary. The next summer I was moving on up. I was placed in the office. In the office I would man the radios, schedule and book transient (overnight) slips. I would assign slips, book reservations, assist in docking, and watch over the pool. Once the summer was over the Marina kept me on to help with office work. I would complete basic things like filing, folding mailers, stuffing envelopes, things of that nature. By my senior year I was an Office Assistant. First thing in the morning I would listen to all the messages, document each one and be sure that everyone received a copy of their messages. During the day I would answer the phones and field questions about the marina and service departments, as well as take reservations for transient (over night stays). I would regularly create and send out mailers. At the beginning of the Winter Season I would draft slip contracts and payment plans of all current and new slip holders. I would collect the mail, process payments for merchandise and the service department. Everyday I would make a deposit at the bank, and biweekly create the employee schedules along with review time cards for the previous two weeks.

What they like about Southwinds Harbor Marina :

You give high priority to hiring firms with prestige. Market reputation and prestige of a firm may be determined through on-line research, and conversations with individuals working in your target industry. Note that firms "in the public eye" receive a great deal more critical publicity and attention than those operating with more anonymity. So as you assess your employment opportunities, be sure to seek out the positive aspects of the firm's reputation in addition to noting negative publicity the company may have received.
