April 20, 201114 yr comment_113846 Chessie was recruiting for rides staff a couple of weeks ago. They'll almost definitely do it again within the next month - always do
May 10, 201114 yr comment_115284 I have an interview at CWOA toady, just wanted to know if anyone has any idea where the business entrance is? Plus any tips from you experienced lot
May 10, 201114 yr comment_115286 Staff entrance is on the right side of the main entrance (Being North/Lodge/Zoo/Whatever they call it now)... Just follow the road down to the barrier and sign in at security...
May 11, 201114 yr comment_115356 Cheers! It went fine, hopefully hear back within the next week or so.
June 19, 201114 yr Author comment_118149 From past years, does anyone know what sort of recruitment pattern Chessington have for the summer? Do they usually recruit new R&A staff for summer periods? Because they have a couple of summer positions on the website at the moment and I'm just thinking that they might not put anymore on seeing as it is getting close to the summer holidays...Also, is the anyone on here who works at the moment or has worked in sales? There is a job in sales on there at the moment and it looks quite interesting... what sorts of things do you do day to day?

They also do roamers who sell Fastrack.
June 19, 201114 yr Author comment_118151 Okay thanks, I applied for a Sales job about a week ago with R&A as my second option. Hopefully I'll hear back soon!

July 2, 201114 yr comment_118945 Shadowing mostly on platforms is not doing anything then?Unless the term shadowing has changed, so they're actually not physically touching anything whatsoever?
July 2, 201114 yr comment_118953 I'm glad that I will finally be working on site which I have been wanting to do for a fair few years now! XD
July 3, 201114 yr Author comment_118980 Is anyone else experiencing problems accessing the 'Job Search' page on merlin recruitment sites?

July 3, 201114 yr comment_119015 Is anyone else experiencing problems accessing the 'Job Search' page on merlin recruitment sites?Mine seems to be working at the moment.
July 4, 201114 yr Author comment_119040 For those who are interested, weekend, part-time and full-time jobs in R&A are available at the moment...
July 4, 201114 yr Author comment_119056 Does the recruitment process ALWAYS include an assessment? Or are there other forms of procedure after the application stage?Also, 2nd question, does anyone know if it is possible that you could have an assessment and induction in the same day?
July 4, 201114 yr comment_119057 Assessment is the thing you do to GET the job...Induction is the thing you do to LEARN the job...Very very different things, so NEVER will you do both on the same day...
July 4, 201114 yr comment_119058 Nowadays, assessment is general recruitment stage for the majority of jobs within merlin. Assessment is followed instantly by interview - basically assessment is the group tasks, and interview is one-to-one.
