SeaWorld employees taking a break
I was at a dinner the other night and mentioned that we are in our summer hiring mode right now. So when someone asked me what type of people we were looking for, I started thinking about our employees. They range in age from 16-85 and are brown, white, black, red, yellow, or any mixture thereof. They like screamo and grunge and classic rock and Christian music and opera and metal. They are high school dropouts and they have college degrees. They will work for three months or retire 30 years from now. They live in the subdivision across the street, drive in from Boerne or LaVernia or fly in from Thailand. They worship God, Buddha, Allah, Christ or nothing at all. They are here for money, fun or just to have something to do in their spare time. They love the rides. They love the animals. That to me is the 2nd greatest thing about SeaWorld; there is no “type” of person we hire. We just ask that people be outgoing, and friendly and interact with our guests-we'll teach them everything else they need to know.
I've never been in any other environment that had this much diversity or really focused on the positives. School's almost out; summer's just around the corner and we're open full-time. If you think you fit our “profile”, we'd love to meet you. Call us at 210-523-3112 so we can talk.
(Oh yeah, #1 greatest thing about SeaWorld for me is getting to see those glorious animals all the time.)
