15 I think, but you are just a janitor or something. I think it's 16 to operate rides.

I will be turning 15 in May and I want to work at SFGAm this summer, where do I go to apply?

Haha...yellow tags.

If your 15 you are usually a grouper and never get up into the station itself and work anything.

If your 16 you can be trained in ride operations and your a certified operator.

Food Services I have no idea.

Your only 14!!! I thought you were 17 or 18.

If I lived closer, I would of applied for a job because I kind of want to be a ride operator. :)

Driving on I-294/I-94 is fun, especially on Sundays :D

They'll announce the annual job fair sometime in January. It's usually held in February. It's held at the park.

[quote="zjohn1988"]Driving on I-294/I-94 is fun, especially on Sundays :D

What about southbound on the weekdays? It's Bombay all the way to 176, so don't even think about it! 8) :D :!:

If you're not going to a job fair, the place you go to apply is at the Human Resources building next to the employee lot. You then have to follow the usual directions for orientation and training.

Yeah weekdays are horrible. Instead of 45 minutes for me to get there it would be almost doubled or longer...

Honestly, I wouldn't want to work there. I live an hour away from SFGAm. I would just get my liscense in time, and belive me, I'd love to drive there throughout the summer. It's just my parents would NOT be thrilled with that idea, and no one would pay for the gas.

Plus, I wouldn't want to operate rides, I'd rather be riding them. That would bother me after a while.

There are some buses available to pick you up and takeyou to work depending on where you live, but they can also limit the amount of hours you are able to work because of their schedule.
