Stitch Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 Ok here the deal I am appling theis Saturday at the Job Fair, these are my questions. 1: Should Apply online today? 2: I will have to use the Carpool system does anyone do this on this forum? 3:What should I expect on Saturday? 4: If I do get hired in rides what happens next IE training. Lastly: What's it like to work at PKI? Quote
SOB_TOM Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 I do carpool with 3 other kentuckians, and it is much easier than driving yourself. You save on gas, and you always have a ride. Quote
FOF Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 SOB_TOM lives in Fort Thomas Kentucky. From what i understand even if you apply online you will still need to fill out another application at the park so they actualy have one they know you filled out. Quote

Return_of_Yogi Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 I applied for Rides at a job fair last year, but was "scouted' by entertainment for my "fun loving and carefree attitiude," plus the extra couple bucks in pay helped! Quote
Stitch Posted February 27, 2003 Author Posted February 27, 2003 Is it preatty simple the whole process? Quote

Stitch Posted February 27, 2003 Author Posted February 27, 2003 I'm applying for Rides, I'm Hoping to get either Face/Off, WWC, or the Train. Is anyone else going to be there this Sat. If I can Im going to try and sneak some Delirium pics. Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 Iam gonna try to go i need a Job badly ! Quote
Stitch Posted February 27, 2003 Author Posted February 27, 2003 I E-Mailed PKI Jobs yesterday and they sent me this information. 1: You need to bring an ID and Social Security Card 2: If you get highered and have problems with transportation they can work out a car pool system for you. Those are the main highlights, well I hope to see some of you there. I'll be wearing my King Cobra T- Shirt so it'll be preatty obvious that its me. If you do go here's a Picture Of Me just scroll down it's preatty easy to find. Quote
CYoung2003 Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 When you apply online, you will have to fill out another application at the jobfair. If you get hired then they will give you the list of rides that are left. Keep in mind rides is a very popular department and tons of people want it. Some of the rides that you want may be full. Hey theres always kiddie land!! Oh and if your looking to get on Face/Off, keep in mind you will also be working Congo Falls too. Quote
S500 Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 If applying for a job a PKI, you have to ask yourself, where will i have the most fun at. As CYoung2003 said eariler, rides is teh most popular and it does fill up quickly. If memory serves me right, I understand that Face/Off is already filled up; unfortunately. However, I'm sure there are plenty of other available positions in the rides department as well as other departments parkwide. Best of luck to you in that endeavor. IF you do happen to get hired, I promise you will have fun. I just wished I would have came to PKI earlier in my amusement park career. This place is 10 times better than my previous employer Americana/LeSourdsville Lake. Even though I was there for 7 seasons, I would not trade it for anything. My best advice for working at PKI is have fun! Goodbye Quote
teenageninja Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 I worked food last year, I liked it, but it wasn't exactly fun. Like CYoung and S500 said rides fill up quick, but if they don't have the ride you want go for a different ride, you may be able to transfer. Quote
Dane Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 (edited) For anybody that is looking to get a job at PKI... Or those who were gonna go to the one that was cancelled because of the weather... the new date is MARCH 1st. EDIT: We had a poster that said March 8th, and today, there was a new poster taped over it. Saing March 1st. So go with March 1st. Edited January 1, 1970 by Dane Quote
Stitch Posted February 27, 2003 Author Posted February 27, 2003 The Job Fair Is March 1 or so says the site. Quote
