Typically, workers over 16 are expected to fill the night time vacancies. If you are going to school or college, then you should not sign up for night shifts as this can cause disruption in your studying. Make sure you tell the employers about any schedule limitations at the time of your interview.

Never confuse being over casual with fun. While a suit would be an inappropriate dress for an amusement park, you should also avoid wearing dirty and torn clothing. Use a properly fitted shirt with denim pants or skirts. Some parks also have limitations on hair style, piercings and tattoos.
