The posting

Culinary Operations Manager

Lush fairways complemented by immaculate greens and edged with elegant spires of jack pine and spruce define The Dunes Golf & Winter Club – northern Alberta's premier golf course. With views of the Wapiti River valley and glimpses of natural wildlife, this 18-hole public course is as picturesque as it is challenging. Located on Resources Road, just four kilometers south of Grande Prairie's city limits, The Dunes has multiple tee boxes offering four lengths of play – gold, blue, white, and red. After your round, enjoy a beverage, snack, or meal in our fully licensed clubhouse or on our patios overlooking the 9th or 18th greens.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
