SANTA
CLAUS, IN -- Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari officials expect to
handle a record number of job applications as Job Fairs are held to
fill more than 2,100 seasonal positions.
“Starting this year, applying for a seasonal job is a two-step
process,” says the parks’ Director of Human Resources, Brandon Berg.
“The first step is to submit an online application via our website and
the second step is to attend one of our Job Fairs.”
Job seekers may arrive at Holiday World any time during the Job
Fairs, which will feature representatives from the park’s various
departments, including Admissions, Food & Beverage, Lifeguards,
Rides, Games, Sweepers, Merchandise, and more. Applicants may speak
with multiple department representatives and then apply to work for one
or more departments.
Job interviews will be conducted at that time. The Job Fairs will be held:
Saturday, February 6, 8:00 am - 1:00 pm CST (slow time)
Sunday, February 7, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm CST
Thursday, February 11, 2:00 - 5:00 pm CST
Saturday, February 13, 9:00 am - 12:00 noon CST
First-year employees will earn a base rate of $7.25 to $8.15 an
hour. Benefits include: a personal Season Pass plus one-day tickets,
park food and merchandise discounts, free soft drinks, employee
parties, weekly incentive programs, free admission to other parks, and
more.
This season, the park will again offer an Employee Transportation
Program for seasonal employees who would not otherwise have a ride to
work. Available at a nominal fee, bus rides will be offered in Warrick,
Vanderburgh and Perry Counties in Indiana, plus Kentucky’s Hancock and
Daviess Counties.
Applicants should fill out an online application and then attend one
of the four Job Fairs. Parking is available in the main guest parking
lot. The online application is available at www.HolidayWorld.com/Jobs. Job applicants should bring their Social Security Number to the Job Fair.
Most positions are available to applicants 16 years and older by May
2010. Additional jobs require a minimum age of 14 years by May.
Applicants must be at least 14 years old on the date the online
application is submitted. Retirees and other adults seeking seasonal
employment are also encouraged to apply.
Holiday World’s 64th season begins May 1; the premier of the
World’s Longest Water
Mrs. Koch and Will Koch, two of the
owners of Holiday World
Coaster, Wildebeest, is May 14, Splashin’
Safari’s opening day. For more information about seasonal job
