Description of working conditions
Work Hours: You will usually work 5 - 8 hours per day, 5 days per week. Please be flexible as this can
change. You will be guaranteed 32 hours of work per week on average over the course of the summer
season. The Park is only open through September 5th. The Department Supervisor will create weekly
schedules and your schedule must be flexible to the needs of the department. Do not count on a second job
as they are difficult to come by. If you can obtain a second job, please remember your schedule with the
Beach Boardwalk is your priority. You will need to work your second job schedule around ours. If you limit
your schedule with us due to a second job, the 32 hours per week guarantee becomes void. Weather (rain)
could affect the hours of work. If it is raining, you are expected to call in one hour prior to your scheduled
start time to see if you are still working. The final two weeks of the season are the slowest, so you may not
make 32 hours in these two weeks, but you will average at least 32 hours per week over the course of the
season.
Work Start Dates: We are looking to hire candidates who can start work between June 15 - June 29.
Work Finish Dates: We are looking to hire candidates who can work until September 5. Generally, the
Park is only open through September 5. Please contact InterExchange in mid-August if you need work after
this date. There is very limited opportunity for those qualified to work limited hours until the end of
September.
