29yrswithaGApass Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Great Adventure hosted its 2009 Job Fair today for the more than 4000 open positions at the park! Click on the image below to see a news clip from the event. Take a close look at the Games photos on the wall at about the 1:00 minute mark-- straight from the GAH Fortune Festival Spotlight! It is great to see that the park was able to use the photos! Cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) I read somewhere that Theme Park Applicant's looking for jobs is WAY up this year. Hopefully we will be staffed good all Season this year. Sign of the times. Edited February 22, 2009 by Railer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride-ops is a great department, but ANY department can be one of the best and most fun experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike13 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Thanks guys,I'm hoping for a chance since it seems fun to be at the park and getting paid for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRHS Falcons Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 This job fair was busy but not as busy as the first one at the begining of the month. The first one you could not move inside of, the ones who were working had a really hard time keeping it clean. Also staffing is way up this year which is a good thing.

GAcoaster Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I really wish I could go back to work at the park part time. I really love being there and working with the guests. I already have a full time job and a part time job that pay well, and that I enjoy, so i can't afford to give them up tot work at the park again.

southview2 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 There is ONE negative to this. With the amount of workers there is looking to be, there will be less hours for everyone and that means less pay. They are very strict about getting employees, exspecially minors out on time and sometimes early if possible to make budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have a full time job and a part time job that pay well, and that I enjoy, so i can't afford to give them up tot work at the park again. Recently, I've had a few dreams (Nightmares?) about working part time at the park. I think I'm too old to be a Ride Op again.

GAcoaster Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 You're too old!?! I know I don't think I could go back to any of the positions I held at the park (especially since one of them is gone!), but I was thinking if I did go back, I'd work in GR or work as one of the VIP tour people (who knows the park better than me?).

CablesEric Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) To old for minimum wage! I agree with you, I would want to do GR, VIP tours or maybe loss prevention. Ideally, I'd like to use my HVAC and Engineering background and work in maintenance, but I'm not union.

GAcoaster Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm not sure, but your best bet would be to give them a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
