Interviewing

Due to the nature of our business our interview process is somewhat unique. If chosen for an interview, the first thing we will ask you to do is to join a tour of the cave. This will allow us to assess your comfort level in the cave, as well as your interaction with other guests. We understand that this is a significant time investment on your behalf but it is an important part of our vetting process. Of course the cave tour is offered free of charge.

I am willing to take part in a cave tour prior to interviewing for employment.

Additional interview requirements include:

  • Demonstrating your current level of rope experience
  • Giving a quick (5 minute) lesson on a topic of your choosing 

Thank you for applying for employment with Canmore Cave Tours. Please note that only those chosen for an interview will be contacted. If you have any questions about any of the requirements or questions above please contact us at info@canmorecavetours.com
