Summer Recruitment

[tiffany1526]

Hello, just a quick question.. obviously.I went to an interview in January to work at Thorpe Park as a ride host, I was accepted from the interview and assessment centre stage but they said that the vacancies had currently been filled but would keep my record on file for any further vacancies?I just wondered when they generally start the Rides and Attractions recruitment? Thankyou very much in advance

I don't think anyone can really tell, I'm looking for the answer to the same question, but about Chessington. I applied last year, but didn't make the interview stage - I think this was because my availability was only for the summer and I was going away for 2 weeks as well. I want to apply again this year, and I'm not going away in the summer so hopefully my availability would be a lot more appealing.I would consider other departments if I lived nearer, but as it takes me about an hour and three quarters minutes each way, I'm only interested in Rides and Attractions.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe I should consider other areas too.. I really hope it is soon, I've been so desperate to work there.I live about an hour and 20 minutes away by train but I dont mind too much.. I hope you hear soon.

[Paul]

You too

The only reason I am considering somewhere so far away is that I think I would actually enjoy working there, rather than dish-washing like I do at the moment. If I didn't apply I would only be doing nothing in my summer holidays and every year is the same, my friends go away and I get so so bored.

[tiffany1526]

Yeah its the exact same for me! I know I would actually enjoy work, if I was there rather than dreading work.. I've heard nothing but good things about working there!

[Paul]

This time last year the seasonal recruitment for R&A was on the website, I wonder when it will come up this year....

[tiffany1526]

Well thats a good sign then, it means it should be due any day really, because theres been nothing yet really!

[Paul]

Wow, lucky for you - that was quick!

[tiffany1526]
