A twice-monthly column about learning on the job
A GLOBAL HEALTH and fitness chain that is a byword for innovation is offering a limited number of internships for those with a genuine love of exercise and customer service.
California Fitness, which set up its first Hong Kong branch in 1996, prides itself on giving its members first-class attention and a five-star experience at any of its six local branches. The California Fitness group operates a total of 324 fitness centres worldwide.
Human resources officer Isabella Tam said the Hong Kong company took on up to 10 interns every year.
'We have a limit as we are quite selective,' she said. 'We want interns to be energetic, have a good customer-service mentality and speak English, Putonghua and Cantonese. Not too many people meet all our requirements.'
Applicants can be high school or university students, but they should be passionate about fitness and what it involves, and responsive to the needs of members.
