Inside the Vancouver Olympics
Countdown clock located in downtown Vancouver
I was just contacted by a friend of mine, who just so happens to live in Vancouver, and he just so happens to be in the middle of the application process to become a volunteer at the Olympics. And if that wasn’t cool enough, he offered to be an inside contact man for me! As he goes through the interview process and hopefully getts selected to work at the Games, he is going to give me step by step updates so I can report them back to you! We should be able to get lots of good inside information from him, with pictures!
Here is what he’s told me so far about how the application process works:
The first step I did was register here. That was about four months ago. Two weeks ago they contacted me and did a short phone interview and two days ago I was emailed to register for the orientation meeting. It’ll be six hours where I’ll undergo a face to face interview that lasts an hour to find out where they will place me and then they go over all the stuff. That’s on the 27th (of November).
I’m pretty sure volunteers get a lot of cool stuff including uniforms so I’ll send pics of all the loot I get.
Sounds to me like our guy is a shoo-in. I’m excited for him, and look forward to getting another update from him.

That is too cool! A) to have someone on the inside B) as it relates to your site here.
I hope he makes it all the way!
[...] the friend that I told you about that has been selected as a volunteer for the Vancouver Games? Well, he is back with some more [...]
Maybe it is a little off-topic…
But is there anything to see related to the Olympics in Vancouver this summer?
Excellent! I look forward to the reports…
