Games Attendant
Work Where Everyone Else Vacations
Imagine clocking in with the sound of crashing waves behind you, the smell of funnel cake in the air and the lights of the Ferris wheel switching on as the sun sets over the Atlantic. That’s a regular shift at Casino Beach Pier & Breakwater Beach in Seaside Heights, New Jersey – one of the most iconic boardwalk destinations on the East Coast and a legendary spot for Work & Travel USA students.
We’re hiring energetic university students for the Games Attendant position for the Summer to Fall season. If you love talking to people, laughing a lot and being the reason someone walks away with a giant stuffed animal, this job was made for you.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Operating classic boardwalk games – balloon darts, ring toss, basketball, water races and more
- Calling out to guests and drawing crowds to your game booth with your best hype-man energy
- Explaining game rules, collecting payments and handing out prizes to happy winners
- Keeping your booth clean, stocked with prizes and ready for action
- Handling cash and using a POS system accurately
- Delivering friendly, memorable customer service to families and beachgoers from all over the world
Why Seaside Heights?
Seaside Heights is a classic American beach town – wide sandy beaches, a mile-long boardwalk packed with rides, arcades and pizza stands, and a huge international student community every summer. You’ll be less than 2 hours from New York City and Philadelphia, making weekend trips easy. Days off mean beach volleyball, swimming in the Atlantic and sunsets over Barnegat Bay.
