Best Summer Job Ever? Cedar Point Hosting Job Fair This Weekend

SANDUSKY, Ohio (WWJ) - If you love amusement parks and are looking for a summer job, this opportunity is just for you.

Cedar Point is hosing its first ever job fair this Sunday, March 6, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the park's Castaway Bay resort, located at 2001 Cleveland Road in Sandusky.

Imagine asking roller coaster riders loud and proud, "Welcome back - how was your ride?" Or, greeting first-time little thrill-seekers with a smile at the front gate. Perhaps you'd like to serve the park's famous fresh-cut French fries? These are just some of the available summer jobs at Cedar Point.

At the job fair, potential candidates can learn more about the park's various departments, meet with recruiters and get interviewed right on the spot. Jobs are available in food and beverage, ride operations, hotels and resorts, admissions, games, merchandise, maintenance, employee transportation and more.

Cedar Point employees enjoy, arguably, the best benefits of summer -- including unlimited admission to Cedar Point and Soak City Waterpark, and the mile-long Cedar Point Beach during employment. Plus, employees have the opportunity to take part in special recognition programs for outstanding guest service, receive discounts on food and merchandise, attend exclusive ride nights, enjoy bus trips to popular regional destinations, celebrate at after-hours parties and more.

Cedar Point says most positions pay rates above Ohio's minimum wage. Affordable on-site housing is also available for associates who live more than 30 miles away from the park.

All potential candidates are asked to first fill out an application online before attending the job fair. For more information and to apply, visit cedarpoint.com/jobs.
