James6 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 Not a lot of operating, it was more of a see how the park is run.The operating of Fury was more for Video-ing purposes Quote
Mark9 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 James operates Fury!Welcome to my Chessington experience for the last 3 years Quote
James6 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Ha, that day was one of the best of my life If only I could do it again! Welcome to my Chessington experience for the last 3 yearsWicked , did you see me walking around on that day? If so you should have said hello! :PActually then again you would have been working and probably would've gotten in trouble. Quote
Mark9 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 James!!! Not one glance at the CCTV, hell could've broken loose Seriously though congrats on getting such an experience *jealous*Lol.. he''s actually looking at the right place. When dispatching a car, it's best to watch the car, the staff and the people in the car, rather then watch Car 5 going through trim break 2/safety break 3 Ha, that day was one of the best of my life If only I could do it again! Wicked , did you see me walking around on that day? If so you should have said hello!Actually then again you would have been working and probably would've gotten in trouble.Haha no, I wasn't working that day now. Just saw you in the report and thought "hey I know that guy." Although I did notice that you were pressing Fury's dispatch buttons to early and they aren't flashing... but anyway Quote
Jezzerz Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 I applied ... Didnt get accepted Grr!But re-applying next season 2010 :)Hopefully Area 1 or 2! Quote
themeparkmad Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 I applied ... Didnt get accepted Grr!But re-applying next season 2010 :)Hopefully Area 1 or 2!The only reason why we didn't get accepted is because they were looking for workers to work throughout the week.Whereas, we only applied for the weekends.Always next season to try though Quote
Jackstar Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 Question. Just to confirm, If your invited to an induction day, does that mean you have got the job ? Quote
Kevin Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 They don't invite you to induction days unless you either; worked there in the 2010 season and were invited back, or have had an assessment centre day, been rung up and given a job offer.Hope that helps. Quote
themeparkmad Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 And obviously if you don't do well in the Assessment Centre, then you won't get in!So Jackstar - Your answer, as well as Seb's post above, is that you are not guaranteed the job unfortunately at this stage. Quote
Jackstar Posted February 7, 2010 Report Posted February 7, 2010 Oh right, thanks for the info guys Quote
Josh R Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 I have to go to the Assessment Centre on the 18th of Feb, can't wait! Quote
Paul Posted February 19, 2010 Author Report Posted February 19, 2010 When under 18's are limited to 8 hours work per day, is that 7 hours work + 1 hour break (8 hours in total), or is it 8 hours work + 1 hour break (9 hours in total)? Quote
StevenVig Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 When under 18's are limited to 8 hours work per day, is that 7 hours work + 1 hour break (8 hours in total), or is it 8 hours work + 1 hour break (9 hours in total)?8 Hours Work + 1 Hour Break. (45 minute lunch, 15 minute afternoon break) Quote
Paul Posted February 19, 2010 Author Report Posted February 19, 2010 8 Hours Work + 1 Hour Break. (45 minute lunch, 15 minute afternoon break)Thanks (Speedy reply too, I'm impressed! ) Quote
themeparkmad Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 (Seeing from Paul's comment):I have heard diffrent answers from other people so would be interesting to here others...I don't know if this is an exception for college students up, but does the 8 hour limit still apply?I mean, I know CWoA & Zoo have 10am until 8pm on Halloween Hocus Pocus, but I really can't remember at all being told during my interview that I could only work 8 hours a day.Anyone wanna give me your thoughts and suggestions?Thank you.

Fred Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 You'll only be able to work 8hrs a day, chessie became rather strict on that, quite naturally. This'll include the extended open hours Quote
StevenVig Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 Basically, its the law!Anyone under the age of 18, can work a maximum of 8 hours Quote
themeparkmad Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 Basically, its the law!Anyone under the age of 18, can work a maximum of 8 hoursI hate the law! :PThank you Peter and Steve. Quote
James6 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 I bet if you were working anywhere else you would be saying quite the opposite Mind you I would be too Quote
Mark9 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 You'll only be able to work 8hrs a day, chessie became rather strict on that, quite naturally. This'll include the extended open hours Law, Merlin obeying the Law? Get outta here!They didn't bother with the 8 hour thing at all last year. Under 18's had to stay the full day during Halloween.

Paul Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Posted February 24, 2010 How important is it to include references on applications? It's just that I didn't provide any, will this affect my chances? Quote
