🎉 Munich's Oktoberfest – join the Stoke Travel crew! 🍻
Location: Munich, Germany
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Munich's Oktoberfest is the world's biggest folk festival, where every year millions of beer lovers gather to drink, dance, and celebrate the best beer in the world. Stoke Travel hosts travelers, study abroad students, expats, and beer lovers at our all-inclusive camping accommodation. We are the biggest Oktoberfest accommodation provider and tour operator in Munich, with thousands of beer lovers staying and partying with us every night, making Stoke Travel the most fun and best value choice for your trip to Oktoberfest.
In the past, our festival crew have included acrobats and electricians, dancers, accountants, hospitality workers, carpenters, bar staff, receptionists, tour guides, soldiers on leave, TV personalities – people from every and all walks of life. If you have a passion for travelling, people, and partying, then we are probably going to get along perfectly.
Here are the roles we are looking to fill:
BEGINNING – POLISHING A TURD 🛠️
Regardless of your job title, it's all hands on deck when it comes to setting up camp. You will be setting up hundreds of tents, blowing up thousands of mattresses, building bars, painting masterpieces, rain, hail, or shine. It is the most important part of the festival, as the creation of the Stoke Wonderland is vital.
CHECK IN & RECEPTION DESK 🖥️
You will be the first point of contact with Stoke. Travellers only get one first impression of us, and you are it. This job requires some smarts, the ability to work hungover, and that beautiful smile of yours. You will be checking guests in, allocating them a tent, and making sure they find a tent runner.
WELCOME CREW & TENT RUNNERS 🏕️
This one requires some energy, and extroverts will love this role. Everyone on site will know your face and love you for the sangria or beer you will offer them the second they arrive. You need to know where everything is at camp and the festival, information about buses, what is for dinner, and most importantly, where everyone is sleeping.
BAR BABES 🍺
This is not just a job where you get to drink. This job requires skill and dedication. Your job is to man the Stoke bar and keep that sangria and beer chilled and flowing. Use those customer service skills and pour like you have never poured before. This role is a non-stop late night role, and it is really important to keep the booze flowing and the party going.
TENT TURNOVER ⛺
The most important job of the festival. You will smash out dirty tents as a team and get them ready for the next set of campers. You normally get a sleep in, and if you get the job done, you are finished before the party starts, with weekends off if the job is done right.
KITCHEN PARTY 🍳
We like to get funky in the kitchen. Working under Stoke head chef Jake, it is your job to start the party in our mouths. You will create and serve some epic meals to our travellers. Smile, know the menu, and pretend that you are on one of the many reality cooking shows out there in the world. Taste and presentation are a winning combination.
THE GURU TENT – SWAG & TRAVEL DESK 🧘
You are the source of all information and merchandise for customers and staff. You are the Stoke bible. Know the answers for both dumb and intelligent questions, and control bus sign-ups, breakfast tokens, party and Stoke trip tickets, and charging stations. You have a chance to make commission on any ongoing trips you sell.
ON-SITE ENTERTAINMENT 🎤
You are the starter of the party and the mouthpiece of all Stokies combined. From welcoming everybody into the realm of Stokepedia, to getting the lowdown on last night's happenings, to keeping the attention of the masses, to riling the crowd up with a good yarn and banger on the decks, you are here to set the tone of the whole festival vibe.
STOKE GUIDES – WHICH IS ALL OF YOU 🧭
Your job is to be the most outrageous person in the place, while still keeping it together and knowing your stuff. Act confident and spread good vibes. You need to remember where everyone is going, how long it will take, and when you will need to be back at the bus. Have a massive smile, say a hilarious welcome speech when needed, have all the info, talk to the campers not to the staff, and become BFFs with the bus driver. Most importantly, be available to answer questions and help out the travellers.
