Lance Stevenson Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 When will Kings Island start the hiring process for 2013 season?. And also how long does stuff that had a negative impact stay on an employee's record?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Probably January. Negative things stay with your record until they throw it away. It used to be 7 years. Worth trying anyways, they may consider it if you seem to have matured since your last incident depending on how bad it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I would like to know the same about the Lifeguards at SC, when can and do I apply? Any prerequisities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 As all employees and former employees know, the hiring process starts around the mid to end of December by applying online and interviews start after the first of the year. We usually process around March, as all current and former employees know. As for a negative ding that resulted in a no rehire, usually it is a year from working depending on the nature of the ding. I would still apply as usual when it opens up and go from there. If you don't apply, there is no chance you will be hired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I would like to know the same about the Lifeguards at SC, when can and do I apply? Any prerequisities? From what I remember, no. KI does their own training. Of course you need to have a great handling on swimming, treading water, and being bale to lift different types of weights. (One thing that was always interesting (at least when I did it) was you were taught how to subdue and even incapacitate someone in case they are drowning you while trying to save them!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB_TOM Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 The lifeguard hiring, if I remember correctly, takes place a little later than the rest of the park, due to the waterpark opening later. It might have changed since 2011, but I was hired on to lifeguard in May. There are two different levels of lifeguards out in the waterpark: Slide attendants, and lifeguards. Slide attendants are trained in first aid, and take care of the tops of the slides, making sure people go one at at time, ect. Lifeguards go through the classes and are the ones watching water over 2 feet I think it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rcfreak339 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Kings Island never quits hiring people. It's a large institution that requires thousands of workers...so of course many people come, leave, and then someone fills the spot. It's one giant cycle that is never filled. There is always a position around the park for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB_TOM Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 That is not entirely accurate. While yes, they are looking for people year round, the vast majority of people get hired on (or their applications kept from) the first hiring push they have at the beginning of the year. I'm pretty sure that there is a point early on in the season when they stop accepting applications all together, but don't quote me on that.

MarketingExpress Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Returner packets are usually sent out in early to mid-December. Starting the first of the year applications for seasonal positions (including lifeguards) are accepted and interviews begin. The HR department will accept seasonal job applications up through the last few weeks of operation in October. HR accepts resumes all months of the year for any open full time positions.

Being able to swim might be discriminatory to some people 3 beers short of a 12 pack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
