Todge Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I'm unemployed at the moment, but I am looking for a job although I might be able to work at that anime shop called tokyo toyz in central london in the trocadero. Anyone ever been there before?Ah! I have been there, awesome place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I would be thinking things like...* People are having to queue 120 mins plus.* Guests are getting angry around queues.* Vandalism* Queue Jumping* Smoking in the queue linesetc.As a Ride Host it will be your duty to prevent the above and more, as well as meeting your daily targets. If you are worried about the things you have listed, you may as well save yourself the hassle of applying because you will be rejected otherwise. Just a heads up.

themeparkmad Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Still no jobs available really anywhere that want part time workers for the summer.It would be nice to get some source of Income, but that is slipping away even more now!

esp3001 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Wish I could spend my time looking over theme park forums instead of being at work on a Saturday... Oh wait, best of both worlds I guess. Still, I'd rather be at home than at my desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake C Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I just got a job at a local newagents, £25 a week! (good for me I'm only 14) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Still have not got a job!They will probably start recruiting in shops in September as soon as I go back to college! Brighton is so annoying! I have gave up on that, so I am scanning the Chessington recruitment site looking for that magical "Rides and Attractions" to appear!

Paul Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Sometime earlier this year I took the quiz on the recruitment page. How stupid is that thing? The answers are so blinkin' obvious! You're walking to your position for the start of your shift. You'd left in good time but along the way a customer catches your attention and, with his map upside down, is quite clearly struggling to find what he's looking for. Do you:a. Dash past and try and look as if you never saw them – your colleague has been on most of the morning, it's their lunch time approaching fast and it's quite a hot day.b. Stop and see if you can help.

Most pay £5.80 per/hour, which is very reasonable if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Does anyone know if Thorpe Park take on seasonal staff to work over the summer?I'm not too sure, although I know that due to the business of days over the Summer, this might be something that they would consider recruiting some extra people for.
