CONGO RIVER ADVENTURE GOLF

STAFF APPLICANT INTRODUCTION

Is this the right job for you?

Thank you for your interest in a staff position at CONGO RIVER GOLF, GAMES & EXPLORATION CO. We are always looking for passionate, responsible, mature, and friendly individuals to join our team. CONGO RIVER is a terrific place to work: however, it is not for everyone. A successful staff member will need to have an outgoing personality, a strong work ethic, and flexible availability. Prior to completing an application for employment, we would like to share with you some of our expectations of any new employee. While the list is not all-inclusive, it should help you in deciding whether you are a "match" for our funpark.

PERSONALITY

Every CONGO RIVER staff member has daily contact with guests. Our goal is to create fun and memorable experiences for our staff and guests. Our business is entertainment. A positive attitude, good people skills, and courtesy at all times are required. Those who enjoy working with young kids may have additional interest in being a host / hostess for our birthday party and special group outings. If you do not thoroughly enjoy interacting with people, this is not the job for you.

WORK ETHIC AND DUTIES

  • You must be willing to do lots of challenging work. For every hour that you spend as part of our Guest Relations team, there will be equal time spent on more "hands-on" duties. We have a small staff, and therefore everyone is cross-trained and expected to share the work. You should anticipate many days where digging trenches, weeding, power washing, painting and other landscaping, maintenance, and cleaning duties are part of your daily responsibilities.

  • One of the benefits of working at CONGO RIVER is the outdoor atmosphere. However, the downside of this is that Mother Nature is not always friendly. Staff members can count on working many days in the cold and rain of Spring and Autumn; working on hot summer days; and dealing with the annual challenge of mosquitoes on humid summer evenings.
  • We expect all staff to be self-motivated to do their best at all times. A positive and upbeat attitude is also expected. We will teach you what you need to know in order to do a great job and offer opportunities to grow personally. It is your responsibility to supply a willingness to learn and the determination to do well.

SCHEDULE

  • CONGO RIVER is open from early April to mid October. However, our staff working season begins in early March and runs through the end of October. With rare exception, only those able to stay through the end of the season will be considered for a position.

  • Also, as an entertainment facility, the hours of shifts are determined by the level of business. Therefore, we work while others play. While there are shifts available Monday-Friday during the day, all staff members must be available to work evenings, weekends, and those holidays that fall within our season.

  • CONGO RIVER is open from 10am- Midnight during the Summer and on weekends in Spring and Fall. Staff who are 16 and older will need to be part of the rotation of people who work until 1am or so on non-school nights. Those who are 14 or 15 will need to be available to work until 11pm on non-school nights.

HONESTY

Honesty and truthfulness are expected without exception at CONGO RIVER. Please do not apply if these are difficult concepts for you. This means accurate cash handling, inventory control, and being certain that all guests properly pay for the use of our facility.

APPEARANCE

  • All employees are required to wear a clean uniform supplied by CONGO RIVER including polo shirt, optional cap, optional sweatshirt, and name badge. Staff may wear either approved khaki shorts or clean blue jeans. All staff members must wear white or tan shoes; either tennis shoes or deck-style shoes. No other dress is acceptable.

  • Female staff members: No extreme hairstyles or colors; two earrings per ear only; two rings maximum per hand; no excessively long or colored nails; and makeup should be light and conservative.

  • Male staff members: face must be clean shaven at all times; hair may not extend below the base of the shoulder; no tails, streaks, extreme colors, or hair engraving will be permitted. No earrings.

These guidelines are not complete and will be explained further if you choose to continue the application process. While certain items may appear to be strict, we hope you realize that they support our image and therefore are a prerequisite of employment with CONGO RIVER GOLF. GAMES & EXPLORATION CO.

If you are comfortable working within these guidelines, please download or pick-up and fill out an application. We look forward to meeting you.
