Dear Web Applicant,
Thank you for your
interest in working at Sheri Griffith Expeditions . We are very proud of the
quality of services we provide and our commitment to excellence. SGE has been
in business since 1971, offering outstanding river journeys to people from all
over the world. We provide an atmosphere where people feel safe, comfortable
and are able to relax and enjoy their adventure. Many of our guests have been
coming back year after year due to the wonderful experience they have had on
the river with us.
SGE requires all
guides be at least l8 years old and have a minimum of Red Cross Advanced 1st
Aid and CPR certification (or equivalent). Guides must have a professional
attitude and be willing to learn and accept new ideas. Initiative is highly
valued. Guides must work long hours during rush periods and not be subject to
burnout and moodiness. They must work well under pressure and be team
players.
