Yeah, all you guys comments are helpful. It would be really nice if there was one thing I was doing wrong that the interviewers would tell me about. Then I would have a better chance.
-
I think the first three times I applied, I got rejected because I was applying in the summer and halloween, which meant there were very few positions open.As for the interview I just did...I guess rides and attractions is a popular department and only people with previous real working experience could get the job.Oh and I did phone them today, they just told me that they saw I had sent them an email and that they would reply within two weeks.
-
Eurgh, I've emailed them asking for advice and to keep my name and details incase any positions in the future come up. I'll do the same by phone tomorrow.And now I'm going to apply for "entertainments host" and add 3 more hours onto my assessment counter. Does anyone know specifically what entertainments hosts do?

Ive been rejected...again. Ive spent 12 hours worth of interviews at chessington and they still wont hire me. Words cannot decribe the sheer anger I am feeling right now. I know people at my school that have been hired by chessington that I KNOW I am better than in terms of customer interaction, hard working-ness and endurance. It staggers me that I still haven't been able to get across to chessington how well I would be working for them and how much not only I, but they would have benefitted with me working for themI was not doing it for the money. I was not doing it so I had "Something to do on the weekend". I was doing it because I loved to do it, and I knew I could do it well, and yet their human rescources departement has once again failed to see this, hired everyone else I know around me, and left me feeling completely and ubearably useless. 12 hours of assesment I have put up with, just to work in an enviroment that I know I will do well in and enjoy. I am so sick of this charade.

Hmmm I don't know if information like that should be released.
-
^ And THAT is why it is so painful when all the people around me at school are getting employed and I have to apply 4 times. My brief 5 days work experience in 2010 was one of the best 5 days of my life. So much fun and experience I gained from that.
-
Its the talking and interacting with guests in queue lines that make me want the job so bad. Its not really about the money, its just...I guess seeing the kids at the park reminds me of when I was that age. I always looked up to the staff as the most friendly and enthusiastic people.
-
Well I am aware on Merlin's privacy policy and if they are for some reason reading this... I would like them to know that I would never talk about work online. I completely understand about their policy on all of that.
-
I'm being very careful not to give anything away. I would never give any details away about the park or interview. Just simple sentences like "It was good".
-
I think good, there is no reason why I wouldn't get the job.How did it go Tree?
-
Uh, hey, yeah that was me.I was there today... (Er, yesterday, lols.) I know someone from here said hi to me (Christopher was it?). I forgot I had an account here.
Sorry if I came out a bit stalker-ish

If you are going on the morning of the 28th, Ill be there too!
-
I love how you can see a faded out "S" on the "Blow it up!" Logo thing, implying it used to read... "Blow sh*t up!"
-
Good, thanks guys
I will do that -
I was tempted to, but because the email rejecting me was so vague, I was pretty sure that their response to me would also be vague.It was: We have had an extremely large volume of high calibre applications and after careful consideration, I regret to inform you that on this occasion, your application has been unsuccessful. We assess to criteria based on our company values and role competencies and unfortunately on this occasion we had candidates who more closely matched these.
-
Sigh...I'm just really angry at the moment...
-
Of course I didn't tell chessington that! I'm not an idiot. But hey, thanks for the uplifting comment there...If that's your viewpoint then it could well be why they didn't hire you, I wouldn't want someone being very high and mighty in my workforce if I was hiring people...
-
I had to actually email them before they replied. God knows how long it would have taken them to give me the bad news if I hadn't
-
I didnt get through. This sucks so much. And it sucks for Chessington too because I was perfect for that job and they would have been very lucky to have me. Too bad they couldn't see this though. Now no one wins.
-
What games did you do? Did you do the balloon one?Just got back from my assessment. I've got to say, I had such a fantastic evening.
-
Its been 7 days since my assesment...and no reply. I'm going to have to email them now because this is just getting ridiculous.
-
They did that to me. ^ Luckely I was able to attend.... Unfortunatly its been 6 days and they havent contacted me. This is worrying considering they said that the introduction day for people who got the job is on the 21st.
-
My friend said that after the assesment, Chessington will email me if I didn't get the job and phone me if I did. Is this true? Because I have no money on my phone right now and vodafone is charging me to hear my voicemails

I know what you mean ^. I think I may come across as a meek person attempting to be confident; ending up talking to fast and being far too nervous
