Chances for Lifeguard Position?

I apologize in advance if this kind of topic is getting on anyone's nerves, but I'm just asking to see if I'm getting my hopes up. I applied a few days ago for a Lifeguard position but I've seen around here that only 100 or so guards will get hired for the season. So what are my chances of even getting a call after applying this late?
Thanks in advance! =P

You said you applied the other day so don't worry, just gotta be patiant they are still hiring people so they will get to your app when they get there.

It's not that I'm worried because they haven't called back yet, that would obviously be expecting too much. I'm more or less curious about how fast the spots fill up.

Not that fast. The park needs anywhere between 110 and 140 lifeguards. They will actually hire almost double that because of the amount of employees who will not show up, decide to cancel or will not make it through lifeguard class. So your chances of making it are actually good.

Sweet, thanks for the reply =)

Alright so it had been two weeks since I sent in the application. On Jobnet it still says "We expect to fill most positions by May 1st.If any of our hiring managers need additional information regarding your application, you will be contacted by email or by phone."

I called on Friday after reading some posts on here and when I called the only thing I seemed to be able to do was schedule a phone interview with a manager. Yet when I called some guy transferred me to park ops even though I planned on working in soak city and when I got transferred all I got was a voice mail. Not expecting that, I left some voice mail asking if my first choice could be set to life guard in soak city and any information on the availability of the position would be welcome. So now my question is, should I call again later in the week and if so who should I ask to talk and what should I say? I know if I get the interview I'm set, just need the chance =)

I didn't apply to be a lifeguard, but that's what I was hired in as. There were about three weeks between the time I applied (as a ride host) and actually got my interview.

lifeguarding is in park operations. who was the manager u called

Honestly the name was said so fast I didn't catch it. I know it was a women though.

Julia Paugh probably, There are a few different people hiring for SC so just be patient and wait like a week if they dont call back sooner. It takes a little longer for people in SC to get calls back sometimes because most of the people are working at Castaway right now.

Alright well I guess it's back to waiting. I guess I'll call if I don't hear anything by monday or something.
