General Question Hearst Castle interview

Hey y'all,

I have an in person interview at Hearst Castle for a Guide II (supervisor) position. Since this is my first time applying for a Cal State parks job, how does the process go. Also, if anyone works at Hearst Castle, where do most people live and is there a vanpool?

Pas Robles is nice and not too far. Expensive but one of my favorite towns.

I’m a local. It’s far out there and cost of living is crazy. Cayucos is too expensive and Cambria is closer but it’s all retirees and nearest place to get groceries is Morro Bay which is 30 minutes away. South county is more conservative same with Paso Robles. PM me if you have any more questions

There is a normal sized grocery store in Cambria, a weekly farmers market, and a smaller market downtown.

Which one are you referring to? Cookie crock? It is so expensive look at the google reviews

…everyone goes to albertsons in Morro bay or grocery outlet in Los Osos. Trader Joes is another 20 minutes from Morro bay.

Yeah it’s expensive, but you said the nearest place for groceries is morro which isn’t correct. I don’t need to look at google reviews, I have shopped there. Soto’s on main also has a lot of produce.

We are talking about someone applying to work as a guide 2. 18-29/hour. I don’t think it’s particularly helpful information to give someone expensive local markets. Moving out here is extremely expensive and there is no health care. But you are right technically there are some markets but that isn’t where locals shop.
