Application Process:
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. IF ALL THE REQUIRED INFORMATION IS NOT RECEIVED YOUR APPLICATION WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED

If this sounds like you, then please send at least 6 recent photos, (preferably in swimwear), resume & application form to apply@getggg.com. If the photos you send in to us are old and/or you’ve changed (new hair colour or style, new tattoos, weight gain or loss, etc...) since they were taken, you need to send in updated and recent photos. If you arrive for work at the resort and you have changed from the photos you sent in, the resort reserves the right to rescind the job offer. This is very important because the resorts need to make sure that you are clean cut and that you will match the style of the resort. They also need to ensure that you are in shape enough to meet the physical demands of the job as well as fit into their costumes and uniforms.
