How Do I get a Job at the South Pole?

Question

I know there's a US instalation there. I really think it would be something cool to put on a resume. Anyone know of where I could get some info on what opportunities are down there or who I get into contact with?

Answer 1

First you'll have to go down and fill out an application.

Then, if you made a good impression and your resume looks good, you'll be called in for an interview. My advice for attire would be to wear a tuxedo, and sway from side to side as you take small steps. You'll fit in better with the culture down there. Most of the competition has wings but can't fly, and have feet but can't walk so good so you've got an advantage there. However, if you can't swim very good you might want to take some lessons pretty soon.

There aren't many jobs available. You might want to look into an entry level position like pizza delivery driver. The tips aren't very good, it's literally a place where the streets have no name, and the only topping available is anchovies. But owning your own car is an asset as the primary means of locomotion down there is via iceberg. Experience is not necessary and they are willing to train. Be sure that your employer pays extra for fuel as it generally costs about $35 in gas per delivery.

Finding a gas station could be problematic which makes me realize there may be a job opening for gas station attendant as I'm pretty sure the Antarcticans don't have one presently.
