Job Fair

I went to the Job Fair on Friday 23, April 25, 2010 and I decided to get more information on the booths that had the SeaWorld booth and the Jamba Juice booth. I first went to the SeaWorld booth because I thought that having a job at this kind of place would be fun and exciting because new people would go and visit, especially tourist. That was something that I liked about SeaWorld. I liked Jamba Juice for a different reason, I thought that this place would be busier and people would come more often, maybe the same people. I also went to other booths but these two were the ones that attracted my attention.
When I asked the lady what kind of people they were looking for she answered very clear and fast. She said that they needed responsible, hard-working, friendly, socially successful and intelligent minds. I thought that this was a place for me but once she said that you had to be socially active I took it back. I do not think talking or socializing is one of my strongest attributes. I am more of a conservative when it comes down to my personality. When I asked her about the job skills, she said that it depended on what job you applied for and which one you got. Because there is a big difference between a cashier and an unload and load personnel.
Once I was done with SeaWorld I moved on to Jamba Juice for my interview with the person that was helping everyone. She told me basically the same things that the other lady had told me, I believe the reasons are the same. Both places deal with a lot of people, they include from helping them out and serving them to getting things done and making the costumers happy. I also think I would fit this job and for the same reason I do not think I would be as successful. The social part kills me, but the rest I am very good at. I think this place would be better for me though because it not only provides good things for the costumers but it has a happy atmosphere.
I believe the same job skills are needed to work here. You do not have to learn much, she said that a lot of the things you have to know they teach you. For example, making a smoothie, they teach you there that is why they are there and that is why they hire new people. Being a cashier isn’t very hard either, you would just have to know how to operate the machine, which I do not think is very hard, and you have to know how to count money, which is basically middle school math. At SeaWorld the same thing is considered; it depends where you are stationed. If you are unloading things out of truck then you basically need to know how to take orders but if you are working a game booth then you have to learn another thing, different from that of the unload personnel.
