goofywdw Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I'm getting ready to leave for the park for my interview. Good luck to everyone applying as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiruler102 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 ok my interview is tomorrow make sure you tell us if you get the job. i will do the same for you guys tomorrow my interview is at 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofywdw Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I got the job! I'm in admissions. I hope to see all of you on Opening Day at the front gate! I feel like I should write a trip report. There were sooooo many people there. A line all the way from the Festhaus back to the front gates. But luckily I saw my old supervisor from rides and asked if I had to wait in the line since I already had an interview and she walked me up to the front. Apparently that was what I was supposed to do but there was no way of knowing. Well inside there were TONS of people waiting in line to fill out applications on the computers they had (like only 10-15). It was a madhouse. I hope everyone else on here got their job too!

tigellinus Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 ^^Well done!! So is admissions different from working at the ticket counters? Hopefully you'll let us know who you are when the season starts...it's always nice to know that there can maybe be someone at KI who won't give a BS answer if I have a question! Congrats again! Have you submitted your availability yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goofywdw Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Thanks! Admissions includes ticket/season pass sales and processing, turnstiles, and all of that kind of stuff. I go by my middle name so I don't know what my name tag will say but I did have my middle name on my name tag last year. I will let you guys know. He told me they were offering the job and I guess he assumed I said yes because of my situation with my job in rides last year. It's confusing but I got my paperwork and am going to fill it out asap and send it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Smiley Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Unfortunately I will not get to work at KI this summer, I am 15 and applied for food and beverage associate, and the only other thing I could choose was to work as a character cohort so I put that down as my 2nd choice...and unless I am looking at it wrong they are the ones reviewing my application...

italianchef Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 In this rotten economy, I'm not surprised that KI is getting so many job applicants. I've been temping for the welfare department for the last few months, and I see more and more people. As a matter of fact, I've even seen people with graduate degrees applying for assistance.

windshawne Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Unfortunately, a degree is not a guarantee of employment. After my latest attempt, it hasn't made one bit of difference in my career, and now I have more debt. Wasn't worth it. Networking, and good work ethic is more important these days. You have to start at the bottom, no matter what. My abilities in my current job are not the best, but I think I survived solely because I show up every day, am pleasant (now theres a shocker!), and I do what I'm told, period. Some of my tasks really stink, and I hate it, but my employer doesn't know that. If you are willing to do the tasks no one else wants, that will make you valuable in any job.

coasterguy15 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 So I'm interviewing tomorrow and I was wondering. Where do you park and where do you go in and how does it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofywdw Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 You go in through the main gate and you follow down to the entrance and you will see a bunch of cars parked down there. You pass through the main entrance of the park and you will see a huge line. If you already have an interview you can just follow the line but don't wait in it and head all the way up to the Festhaus. When you get in there is a table and tell them you have an interview and with what department and they will tell you to go to another table to tell them you are there. They will call your name over a microphone and you go in for your interview. If you don't have an interview already set up get there as soon as you can because the line is huge and outside where it is cold but you get to see DB.

goofywdw Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 ^No problem! Relax and treat it like a conversation. Read over the job description on the website and be sure to become familiar with it so you can answer questions that go well with that job description. Best of luck to you! I got the job! I'm in admissions. I hope to see all of you on Opening Day at the front gate! I feel like I should write a trip report. There were sooooo many people there. A line all the way from the Festhaus back to the front gates.

That's awesome! Rides is such an amazing experience! But I just want to say, have fun height checking all of the munchkins! I have a question though. Did you get to choose AE and VF or did they give you a choice between a few crews or did they tell you were you were going to work? Have fun with the Action Zone crew. They/We are/were the best!

violakat03 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 My application says it is under review by the department I applied for (human resources) and that they will contact me. I'm not going to the job fair, so I guess I'll wait to see if HR does indeed contact me. I applied for a department trainer position. If I don't get a call back from them, I will be giving them a call later on this season to ask to be considered for other departments, but I'm not in any hurry. As for the guy who turned down the marketing position ... with a degree, he should be getting more than $8/hr, absolutely. He's better off in pizza delivery - the money is definitely better. The entry-level marketing position with KI, from what I read of it, is designed for someone who has no experience or education in marketing, such as a college student. He can get into something much stronger than that with his degree, though so many people hold marketing degrees now a days that it will be tough competition. Marketing is sort of like psychology and history degrees - you major in it if you aren't sure what you want to do, so unfortunately the market's a little flooded for those who have a serious interest in pursuing it. That's why I'm majoring in biology - the proportion of bio grads to jobs available is much different than in my old major of anthropology.
