Question about who reviews your application.
I applied to be a screamster a few weeks ago, and now on Jobnet it reads:
Your application was reviewed by: -address removed- (Park Operations) on 07/21/2011
Should I click the name and contact her or do they normally contact you?
They should call you, they are always swamped trying to make the calls so give it a week or two
FF 06, 07

S.T.A. - died with the Fright Zone
What Josh said. It takes some time to get through the applications. If you don't hear anything in another week or two, then I'd call or send an email. For what it's worth, they generally seem to prefer getting emails rather than calls.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
Ok my application for Halloweekends reads as followed:
Your application is now in our general application base and available for review by all operating departments within Cedar Point.
Your application was reviewed by: -address removed- (Park Operations) on 07/21/2011
Your application was reviewed by: -address removed- (Park Operations) on 07/31/2011
Earlier today (Sunday) I recieved a voicemail message saying:
"Hi (my name) this is Alison Tirabassi from Cedar Point, I'm calling in reguards to your application. You call give me a call back to 419-***-****"
What does this mean? Will I be interviewed? or What? If so what types of questions will she ask? and What should I ask her? This is my first time doing this, so your help will be awesome.
They're likely calling to set up (or conduct on the spot) a phone interview with you. Alison and Haley (and a couple other people) are both hiring for Screamster positions.
The questions are pretty simple, mostly about your abilities to work in the conditions that Screamsters work in and abilities to perform the job duties. They should also ask about your availability and if you're interested in working the parade or other daytime positions at the park. Just answer honestly and don't sweat it.

This is my first time ever working at Cedar Point. So for Halloweekends, what are the employees suppose to do during the weekdays? and Would I be able to be a Ride Host during the daytime? lastly When I call only a answering machine comes on, Should I leave message or are they only avalible during a certain time?
I'M HIRED!!!!!! Ok now I need to know some serious answer to these questions:
I don't have a state ID at the time but I am getting one mailed, and I think it take two weeks. Will I be able to use my Birth Cer. and SSC?
Which is the best male housing?
What should I during the weekdays during Halloweekends? Any suggestions?
I said I like to work at a fast pace, as a Ride Host. Where might they put me on Rollercoaster or Thrill Ride?
Did you get hired in as Screamster doing rides in the daytime, or just in rides? Either way, congrats.
There's a list that you should get with the info they send you in the mail that details what identification is acceptable. I know there is a group A and a group B, and you must have one from each group, but I don't recall what those are and don't see them listed on the job net page. I'd give HR a call and they should be able to answer your question pretty easily.
As for housing, Commons dorms and apartments will be the only options during Halloweekends (other than Bayside, but there's likely no chance of finding an opening there). I'd take a dorm over an apartment any day. There's multiple topics in the Employee Lounge here describing each place if you search around.
Many people go home on the weekdays, so housing is kind of a ghost town Monday-Thursday. There are some hours available to work in the park, but from what I've heard they're hard to come by. If you are staying in housing, it's pretty much up to you to entertain yourself for those days.
You probably won't know what ride you'll get until you get there, since they'll likely place you based on staffing needs. You might have one ride you're assigned to, or you may be assigned to various rides based on where they need the staffing each day. I know people who have been assigned to both during Halloweekends.
