1. I've never worked as a holiday entertainer. Can I still apply?
Absolutely! You don’t need any experience to get started. What matters is your willingness to get involved, meet new people and learn. At Stars Be Original we believe in people’s potential, and we support you with selection and training paths designed to bring out your skills.
2. What if I'm shy or don't like being the centre of attention?
No problem! There are many different roles, and each one calls for different talents and qualities. At Stars there’s room for all kinds of personalities: what matters is being keen to work as a team and challenge yourself.
3. How does the selection process to work with Stars Be Original work?
The first step is to apply through our WebApp. The Recruiting team will review your profile and, if it matches the available opportunities, will invite you to the selection and training path that suits you best.
It will be a chance to get to know each other, discover more about the Stars world and show your potential!
4. Can I choose the destination where I'll work?
You can tell us your preferences, but the destination is assigned based on the needs of the resorts, the selection ranking, your availability and the documents required to travel. The goal is to find the best match between your profile and the available opportunities!
5. How long do I need to be available to work in holiday entertainment?
The minimum availability required is 2 months. Seasons can vary in length depending on the destination and the time of year. When you apply, you can tell us when and for how long you’re available, so we can find the opportunities that suit you best.
6. Do I need a passport to work with Stars Be Original?
It depends on the destination! To work in Italy and in European Union countries, if you’re an Italian citizen, a valid ID card for travel abroad is generally enough. For non-EU destinations a passport is generally required, along with any visas or documents required by the country.
Don’t have a passport yet? No problem, you can still apply! Just remember that having your documents in order is essential to be able to leave.
Do you have a citizenship or passport other than Italian or Swiss? We’ll assess your situation case by case, based on the destination and its entry and work requirements.
7. Can I join only as a Content Creator?
The Content Creator Program is an extra opportunity, not a standalone role! You can apply to take part in the programme, but the Content Creator activity always runs alongside your main role in holiday entertainment. The Stars team will select the most suitable profiles.
8. Why choose Stars Be Original?
Because to us you’re not just a role to fill. We invest in people, in training and in personal and professional growth. We were the first to introduce the Human Coach role in holiday entertainment, and we work with highly specialised coaches to help you develop new skills, push past your limits and live an experience that can give you much more than a job.

10. If I need a visa to leave, do I have to take care of it myself?
Don’t panic, we’ll help you! We’ll guide you through the process and support you with the visa application. In some cases, you’ll only need to send us the required documents within the given deadlines!
11. When will I receive my plane ticket? Can I choose my departure airport?
You’ll receive your plane ticket about a week before departure, but we’ll give you all the useful information in advance, so you’ll have time to get organised and prepare everything you need!
You can tell us your preferred airport, based on where you live, but the final one will depend on the Tour Operator’s flight availability.
12. Will someone pick me up at the airport?
Of course! The airport transfer is already arranged and the resort hosting you will be informed of your arrival. You just focus on enjoying the start of this experience, we’ll take care of the rest!
13. Where will I sleep and eat during the season?
Board and lodging are included! You’ll stay directly at the resort where you work or, in some cases, in accommodation near the resort. Meals will always be provided by the resort. And on your day off? You can plan it however you like!
14. Once I arrive at the resort, will someone teach me what to do?
Absolutely! Training doesn’t end before departure. Your Head of Entertainment and more experienced colleagues will be by your side to help you put everything you’ve learned into practice. Nobody is born an entertainer: you grow, learn and improve on the job too!
15. If I have doubts or need help during the season, who can I turn to?
You won’t be left on your own! From getting a local SIM to everyday questions, your Head of Entertainment will be your first point of contact throughout the experience. Because being part of a team also means being able to count on each other!
16. What is a typical day at the resort like?
Every day is different, and that’s the best part! It starts with a staff meeting to plan the activities, then the action begins with beach time, sports, games and activities linked to your role. After lunch, a break to recharge, and then it’s back to the afternoon activities. Another moment to relax, then dinner and… the spotlights come on! It’s time to get ready for the evening.
17. What if I don't like dancing or acting in the evening shows?
We get it! Not everyone feels comfortable on stage right away. But holiday entertainment is made up of both daytime and evening activities, and both are part of the experience. Our advice? Give it a go, one step at a time.
You might discover a talent you didn’t know you had and have much more fun than you imagine!
18. Are show rehearsals mandatory?
Yes! Shows are a team effort and rehearsals are essential to arrive on stage prepared. You don’t need to be a professional dancer or actor: what counts is commitment, teamwork and the desire to contribute.
And it’s often during rehearsals that the best memories are made!
19. Can I join only as a Content Creator?
The Content Creator Program is an extra opportunity, not a standalone role! If you love creating content, telling stories and being at the heart of social media, you could be the right person. The Content Creator activity always runs alongside your main role in holiday entertainment, and the Stars team will select the most suitable profiles.
20. When will I get paid?
You’ll receive your pay by the end of the month following the one in which you worked. For example: if you start your season in September, you’ll receive your pay for the days worked in September by the end of October.
And no surprises: no unexpected monthly deductions and no end-of-season adjustments!
21. Why choose Stars Be Original?

We were the first to introduce the Human Coach role in holiday entertainment, and we work with highly specialised coaches to help you develop new skills, push past your limits and live an experience that leaves you with much more than a job.
