‘Roller coaster ride’ is more than a metaphor for job seekers
Looking for a job these days is an experience crammed with peaks, valleys, thrills and chills. Ready to get off the ride? The answer to your job search may actually involve operating a roller coaster. Or working the scale at the “Guess your weight” booth. Or barking for the Yak Woman. Or being a pixie dust spreader on the Tilt-A-Whirl.
This is the time of year that theme park jobs begin blossoming, long before the lilacs. Theme park operators need to gear up now to be ready for opening day. And applicants are responding in record numbers. Just the other day thousands lined up to vie for 500 jobs at a new water park in North Carolina. Thousands more are heading to King’s Dominion in Richmond, Va., hoping to grab guaranteed summer jobs. Grab a piece of the action by applying for Six Flags jobs.
If you’ve never worked at a theme park before, here is the deal: You’ll need customer service savvy, you gotta be OK with wearing a uniform, and being cool when it gets hot is an added bonus. An added perk is that many parks offer free or discounted admission for you, your family and friends.
Of course, this means that if you’re a student looking for summer jobs, you’ve got a lot of determined competition for these part-time jobs. If you need to work to pay those tuition bills or keep gas in your trusty Mercury Tracer, better arm yourself with a sharp resume and get out there today.
