Since school has just finished, I found myself in need of a job. I didn’t want to have some sort of boring job flipping burgers, I wanted to see the world. So, when I saw an ad for carnival workers, I knew that I had found my calling.
I sent in my resume, and received a call a couple of days later. One interview later, and I was employed by the carnival.
I underwent a week of training so that I would be familiar on how to setup and takedown all of the rides. It turns out that it is a team effort, and everyone contributes.
It wasn’t until yesterday that I was assigned the job that I will be doing for the summer. I am responsible for the obstacle courses and inflatable slides that we setup at each venue. In fact, that is what I am about to do right now - go pack them into the truck.
