Spa Managers

A great way to learn more about spa management work is through a part-time or summer job at a spa. You may be surprised by the number of spas near you, and there may even be a resort on the outskirts of your city. Search online for "Beauty Salons and Services" as well as "Health Clubs" and "Massage." (Many of the listings under "Spa" are only for hot tub dealerships.) You can also visit a salon or day spa and ask to set up an informational interview with the spa manager. Some spa workers may allow you to shadow them for a day or two. Larger salons may have openings for part-time attendants, allowing you to gather firsthand experience.
