How to Apply for Staff Position
Letter of Intent
Please send a Letter of Intent to bryan@mysticalyogafarm.com.
Please address the following points in your Letter of Intention:
- What are the exact dates that you are prepared to commit to being staff at the farm?
- What Position are you Applying for and do you feel that you can fill this role during your time as staff?
- What makes a good staff, and how have you demonstrated that you can be one while you have been an apprentice (or in your previous life-experience)?
- What may change in your life that would change your ability to fulfill this commitment?
- Do you have any concerns about your time at the farm?
- Please attach a resume describing some relevant past work and education experience (does not need to be formal).
Expect to hear from us within one week. We will be able to give you a sense of what positions are open and when.
Already done the apprentice program?
If you have been an apprentice, you can write a ‘Letter of Intent’ and apply to be staff. We will usually get back to you within a week.
(See Letter of Intent Above)
Have not gone through our apprentice program?
If you have not been an apprentice at the farm, but feel you are a good match for a farm staff position, you can apply for the apprentice program and send in your ‘Letter of Intent’ at the same time. Assuming you seem like a good match, we will invite you to join the farm as an apprentice for one month before taking a staff position. Not the minimum commitment would be 4 months in this case (1-month apprentice, 3-months staff).
