Worlds of Fun amusement park is looking to hire 3,000 employees this summer, and they are offering free park admission on Sunday to those who apply.
The park is calling the event “Apply & Ride,” and it starts at 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 24 at 4545 Worlds of Fun Ave.
At the event, people will have a chance to apply and interview for jobs right on the spot. Prospective applicants just need to bring two forms of identification to get the process started. Examples of acceptable IDs include a driver’s license, passport or military state ID, according to Worlds of Fun spokesperson Sean Cunniff.
After applying and interviewing, each applicant will get free admission to a private Friends and Family night at the park.
