So, if you haven't already, there is <b>still</b> time to apply for a position with the Polar Express train event. This adventure is NOT just for kids at least 14 years old......it's <b>GREAT</b> seasonal employment for adults too!! And at a competitive rate of pay, you can't afford to let the FUN pass you by!</div><div><br></div><div>Hurry, the time to <b><u>ACT</u></b> is <b><u>NOW</u></b>!!!</div><div><br></div><div>The Polar Express wants to hire lots of great staff to make this another successful year! In order to put on a <b>MEMORABLE</b> live show every night, this grand event <b>needs</b> a sufficient number of enthusiastic, outgoing, energetic AND dedicated staff members <b>every</b> night!! Applicants do not need to be available the entire time/duration of the event, HOWEVER, it is <b>ONLY</b> approximately a 5 week event, so the <b>GREATER</b> your availability the <b>BETTER</b>!! In other words, for the most part, your AVAILABILITY to work <b>SHOULD</b> be <b><u>greater than</u></b> your UNavailability!!</div><div style="direction: inherit;"><br></div><div style="direction: inherit;"><div>This year the train will run November 18 thru December 23, 2016, with select days of operation in November, and then six (6) days a week in December. Orientation and training for employees will begin approx a week prior to opening night. </div><div><br></div></div><div>Applications are <b>still being accepted</b> online. <b>DO NOT </b><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>DELAY</b>...it can take several weeks or longer for the hiring process to be complete, as this year it is a multi-step process! And <b><u>APPLY</u></b> <u style="font-weight: bold;">EARLY</u> as positions are limited!! In past years, for some reason it seems the later an applicant waits to apply and submit their paperwork, the longer it can take for a response. And in some instances, people didn't hear back at all. This is a huge event, so make sure YOU stay on top of things and take a <b><u>PROACTIVE</u></b> approach!!</span></div><div style="direction: inherit;"><br></div><div>If you're interested in employment, and have <u>not</u> already applied, go online to the following site:</div><div style="direction: inherit;"><div><br></div><div><div><a href="http://www.iowapacific.com/employment/">http://www.iowapacific.com/employment/</a></div><div><br></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Click on “View Current Job Openings” and this link will redirect you to the ADP Workforce Now website.
