Isn't there an Internet Privacy Act signed by Bill Clinton that protects your online activities?

Not when your breaching a contract... and if someone who works at the park posted something, and then if SFGAm came to us asking for the IP address you posted on we would have to give it to them, we could fight them but they would win in court, and we don't have the $$$ to fight them.

Actually, because of legal challenges by Verizon DSL against the music industry, hosts do not have to provide the names or IP addresses of users without a standard court-issued subpoena. As long as employees are not posting trade secrets, they are not going to waste time and money just because an employee commented on his favorite ride.

Besides, SF has better things to do... like managing their 30,000 employees and millions of guests.

Well if you have any questions, PM me. I worked there for a season. And yes, managers do read these things, and they KNOW WHO YOU ARE. Trust me... I don't even work there anymore and I'm still in hot water for leaking out stuff. Hahaha. My friend got fired because she made direct insults toward her supervisor in her *AWAY MESSAGE FOR AIM*. SFGAm will fire you for stuff like this. My best bet is just to stop posting once you get the job. Posting anything about SFGAm.... any little thing, will put you in hot water. I'm sure my buddies up in full time are reading this right now. Believe it or not, they figured out who I was, and I didn't even list my name on my profile. If anyone has any questions, feel free to IM or PM me. I know the policies pretty well.

Actually it does. Hence why SFGAmOnline closed down, Kyle ( not me the other one..) got a job at the park, he was not posting anything about his job etc, and they told him either take down the site, or loose his job. And yes they can do that, its a private company.

If any of you are wondering why mine closed.....bam. But i'd rather make the park better than my site better.

You'd think so, but I've seen a lot of crap hit the fan for some employees for posting. Furthermore, my friend got termed for an away message. Better things to do, you say?

On the day of applying, what do you wear? I'll probably wear a polo and some dress pants. Does that sound good?

I'll probably were a black shirt under a dark blue shirt with a white line on the sleves going across my chest up near my neck(about a few inches from my neck. )

EDIT:Oops forfgot the pants(that would embarrising to actully do on that day, lmao) With the shirt i would probably were my good dark blue jeans(probably would buy a better pair of pants and wear that instead cause they look kinda worn, which would be not good to wear to a job interview)

Tips on getting a job at SFGAm

1. Be yourself. They like honesty.

2. You don't have to dress real nice, but you don't want to look like a major slob either. And bring a jacket, you'll be standing outside the employment offices for at least an hour with a swarm of other hopefuls.

3. If you want the Ride Op job, be prepared for some seriously frigid weather training, and don't be mad with which rides you operate because you can't choose.

4. If you do get in, pay very good attention as you need to pass the final test on general ride operation and another test for each ride you operate with two tests for each ride.

5. Pray for the STT/SSA unit. It's all air-conditioned glory.

They train you to actually operate your normally a little before the season starts (spring) and the first day of the season is a buy out which you have to be ready for. And if you are an amazing op you might get picked for the next new ride opening day.


1. Be yourself.

Hmmm, if I remember isn't that what got you canned? (sorry had to do it :lol:). Yeah I agree with the tip though.

Use the employee entrance.

When:

Saturday, February 21 from 10:00am-3:00pm
Saturday, February 28 from 10:00am-3:00pm

Well unfortunetly i would apply there but i can't cause i don't turn 15 tilll March 8th. I know this because 2 sfgam peeps came to our school and sat a tiny table handing out info at all the lunches and i asked them if i could apply at the Job Fair and told them by the time i am ready to work i'd be 15 and they said no you gotta be 15 or older when you apply. :cry: (I'll still go just to check it out :) )
So for someone in my situation, is there a good time to apply after March 8th when i will be old enough.

I thought you could just go to any of the job fairs they are holding, or am I missing something? Do you actually have to get accepcted by your application first before you can go to one?

I don't know about that. S:UF's crew had some newbies last year. And Brad? Watch it. :evil:

zjohn, the employee offices are a cluster of trailers near the Iron Wolf. You WILL be outside waiting. I promise this.

You go there to get an application to apply, i hope..


Actually, you get the application the day of the job fair, write it all out while you're there, turn it in, wait with a bunch of other applicants for what will feel like eternity, and possibly get an interview, which may then lead to a job ^_^
