Pfister Narrator Program

Do you consider yourself the next Ernest Hemingway, Virginia Woolf or Oscar Wilde? Or are you an aspiring reporter who wants to someday be compared to the likes of Barbara Walters, Walter Cronkite or Katie Couric? Or maybe you just love interacting with people and have a passion for writing? Here's your opportunity to gain experience and meet new people, while enjoying one of the most beautiful buildings in the city.

The Pfister Hotel is in search of the next Pfister Narrator, an individual who will spend time in the hotel's lobby, interviewing visitors and guests and sharing their stories on the Pfister's blog. The chosen applicant will have the opportunity to open new doors, gain experience and meet new people, while enjoying one of the most beautiful buildings in the city.

The Pfister Narrator will be expected to work a minimum of 10 hours per week over the course of a six-month period and will publish a minimum of two blog posts per week. In return, $1,000 per month will be provided to the Narrator for his/her choice of one of the following three options: a $1,000 monthly stipend, a scholarship for continuing education or a donation to a charity in his/her honor.  Complimentary parking and meals within the hotel's cafeteria will be provided during the Narrator's tenure.
