hausty1983 Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 Hey guys I needed help on applying for a job for PKI. I have never had a job before and I want to work there. I love the park and the evironment very much. I don't know what I should I apply for. If you could give your advice I would be glad to write you guys back thankyou Mark Quote
Dane Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 There is another job interview day sometime is Feb. And they will ask you what are your stong points, ie People skills, cooking, cleaning, etc. Quote
Beastfreak Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 Ok, if you're an idiot, you won't always get a job in food. Ecology yes. I for one (yes I do some of the interviewing) won't hire someone unless they can perform every aspect of the job description that is given to them. Quote
matt3224 Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 There is a Job Fair on the 8th...so you can check that out! True ecology is high paying and easy i guess...but rides is where you can have the most fun. I really like.... Quote
MarketingExpress Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 Hey guys I needed help on applying for a job for PKI. I have never had a job before and I want to work there. I love the park and the evironment very much. I don't know what I should I apply for. If you could give your advice I would be glad to write you guys back thankyou Mark There is a Job Fair in the Festhouse this Saturday from 10-4. Feel free to stop by and apply, all departments will be onhand to meet with new applicants. If you are unsure on which department is for you, this would be a perfect opportunity to meet reps form every department and to see what they have to offer. You can also visit HR Monday-Saturday 9-5 and go through an interview. A WORD TO THE WISE- positions are filling up fast so if you are interested in working at PKI I would strongly suggest coming in as soon as possible. Any Questions Leave a post. Quote
teenageninja Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 If you don't get hired at the job fair they will probably come to your school too. They were at my school today and my gfs school sometime this week. Quote
CYoung2003 Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 rides is a sweet department to work. it might not pay as much as other departments but you get a lot of hours and you have a lot of fun!! Quote
hausty1983 Posted February 7, 2003 Author Posted February 7, 2003 Thankyou guys for your help I might be up there I'm not sure yet i'm looking forward to the 2003 season. I plan on visting Cedar Point for my first time sometime this spring or summer this season also.The new rides look great also from the construction pictures that were put on the site here Quote
hausty1983 Posted February 7, 2003 Author Posted February 7, 2003 I have one final question will I be contacted for my application I did online on pki.com or should I go up in the morning to the Human Resources Office for the Job Fair???? Quote
shadow2k3 Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 If you did your app online, HR will probably have it already. Your best chance would be to go ahead and go to the job fair. Just go to where they're putting apps in (Probably the Festhaus), and ask if they have your app on file. If they do, they'll most likely interview you. And if they don't, grab an app and fill 'er out. They'll interview you after they look at it, there's a really good chance of it. Either way, you can't go wrong. ~Shadow~ Quote
Beastfreak Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 Usually they will contact you after they have printed it out and gone over it. Though if you just did it a day or so ago it might take them a while since they are prepairing for the Job Fair. I would go ahead go to the job fair that way you can be interviewed and get a position before a lot are filled up tomorrow. Quote
MarketingExpress Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 I have one final question will I be contacted for my application I did online on pki.com or should I go up in the morning to the Human Resources Office for the Job Fair???? No, do not wait to be contacted. Chances are they will not contact you. You still need to come in and fill out a "hard copy" of the application. We do not except only online applications. All you have to do is come in, fill out a hard copy of the application and then you will go back for your interview. They will have you on file with ur internet app already, just ask at the front desk in HR and they will know what you are talking about. Tell them u filled out an app online and they can help you from there. Any Questions feel free to contact me via email or posting. Quote
kev21 Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 dude you should so work in games this will be my first year workin in games i understand that it is a lot of fun Quote
teenageninja Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 If you like dealing with people and like being heard games is the way to go. Food is good if you wanna be kinda secluded. You really don't have to deal with people if you don't go on register. Quote
missdi Posted February 8, 2003 Posted February 8, 2003 Just wanted to wish you all luck who do go to the job fair and apply for this seasons jobs. PKI seems like a great place to work since you have so much fun while you're there. The only bad thing is the heat, long hours, bratty children (and some adults included also) and no overtime pay! Good luck to you all! Quote
teenageninja Posted February 8, 2003 Posted February 8, 2003 Actually first year in food you get paid 5.50 if your under 16. Quote
Return_of_Yogi Posted February 8, 2003 Posted February 8, 2003 I pretty sure you can get overtime pay in entertainment, i worked double shifts once and got payed for it, even just a couople hours we got payed, but then again, were contracted, and we get that end of the year bonus too, so it could just be us i duno Quote
teenageninja Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 under16-19 in food makes 6.50, returner, 7.00, That's why I said that because you said UNDER 16-19. Quote
user8770 Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 "Just fill out an application and they will hire you.  Especially if you want to work in food." I personally take offense to this. The employment office carefully screens each canidate. I am not allowed to say anymore. Quote
CYoung2003 Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 you cant work in rides if your under 16, but if its your first year, then its 6.50 and if your a returner its 7.00. Quote
teenageninja Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 Well they screen, but it's hard to not get hired. I know someone who had 4 different jobs was fired from all in less than a month and they hired him. He got fired in a month too. Quote
Return_of_Yogi Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 FINAL ENTERTAINMENT AUDITION DATE: March 1st more information at www.auditionnow.com Quote
pkitripod Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 theres also the website you can apply for a job there and theyll call you for the interview over the phone if you want or go in for it on your own time. thats what i did for the 2001 season and it seemed to work for me since im goin into my 3rd season. youl have fun. good experience in "people skills" for sure. Quote
teenageninja Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Well I wouldn't bother filling out an online application, becuase I had an errorous one (they called me because my age line didn't send) and you have to fill out a hard copy anyways. I'd go to the job fair (Saturday Feb. 15th) and fill out an application there and you will most likely get an interview and hired. It may take time, but it will save you time as in days. Quote
Return_of_Yogi Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 I got my 2nd intervew letter tody, one step closer to the doo! Quote
Return of D Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Returning or not? We shall find out tomorrow!! I'll keep you posted! Since you all want to know. Quote
Return of D Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Sad Sad Sad news today folks. Return of D will not be returning to the Island this summer. I apologize to all my fans and co-workers. It was a blast for three years. Quote
teenageninja Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 ::Salutes D:: You were a tremendous help to the park and we will surely miss you. Quote
SOB_TOM Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 The park wont be the same D. Come up and visit a couple of times tho! Quote
Dane Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Funny, our high school is plastered with ads for the job fair days. And where too lazy to take them down. Quote
