Diamondback FOF Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Did you apply for that job, or did you apply for something else, couldn't get hired for that, so this was a second choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 ^sweeper's jobs are more than "trash clean-up." if i ever worked at an amusement park i would choose between sweep and ride operator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 ....or you might find yourself doing something entirely different than you applied for....

CedarPointer Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I hate being born in March... two weeks after the ****ing job fair. Looks like I'm screwed. (sorry, I just had to get that out. Continue with the celebrating!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my second choice on the application I'm a pro status sweeper and am a new employee of the park services. Does that mean this is your first year as a sweeper? Although I did not go to the job fair, I got a job a few weeks ago and will be working Diamondback! It's going to be a great summer Congrats, can you please not staple me this year? There's nothing wrong with sweeper. I got 6 seasons of that in at KI. Great exercise and interactions Good to hear, I'm excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 ^sweeper's jobs are more than "trash clean-up." if i ever worked at an amusement park i would choose between sweep and ride operator. Look at 1:30 in that video. I wish KI's people would do something like that more often. And I didn't mean to sound like I had something against being a sweep. I thought it just seems like most people would choose something else (until they do it once, and then continue with it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 At about 3:37 Cedar Fair redeemed itself from an almost certain EEO "opportunity." And still... What do you mean? Up until then, every sweep featured was female...and there is nothing about that job that can be said to require one to be a female...well, nothing that can be said with a straight face.

faeriewench Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I remember when I was younger growing up at CP... The ride crews at Magnum, Corkscrew, Iron Dragon, Disaster Transport were primarily female.. And Cedar Creek Mine Ride, WildCat, Raptor were males..

The Interpreter Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 And it stayed that way until the park no longer had a choice about that. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeriewench Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 So I remembered it correctly? Wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Back in those days, too, that park seemed to have very strict weight standards, though they were certainly not written down anywhere. If one were not svelte, one did not work rides that were highly visible, but somehow found oneself in places like food service, or, if female, the train, if one worked for Cedar Fair at all...

coaster_junky Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 how do parks get by with doing that? i'm actually quite amazed that there hasn't been a "discrimination" case thrown at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtl2013 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 other things like the male/female or weight things i can see about discrimination. But, for the hair, I can see them wanting specific things. One of the things for a male is you cannot hav ehair covering more than half of your ear, adn your hair cannot be longer than an average shirt collar. They want all of their employees to look professional and presentable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
