Seasonal Cast Members

What they all have in common is the commitment to put on a good show every day in a workplace where making people smile is our goal. Our summer cast members are chosen more for their upbeat outlook and positive attitude than for specific skills.

Some tips for a successful seasonal employment interview
Complete the application, answer all questions in neat writing that can be easily read, read all the information carefully, and sign the application.
Practice for the interview with a parent or friend. Arrive on time for the interview, dressed appropriately -- personal grooming and cleanliness are important. Avoid excessive jewelry or makeup, gum chewing, and one-word responses.
Treat the interviewer politely and respectfully: sit up straight, maintain eye contact, and show interest and enthusiasm by asking appropriate questions. Shake the interviewer's hand when you meet, and again when you thank them for their time.
