    "Funderland will be holding walk in interviews on Saturday the 22nd between 3pm and 6pm at the RDS in Dublin. If you would like to apply for a job please bring your CV and PPS number and we will be happy to put your name down for any suitable positions that arise.
    The minimum age for employment is 16"

    I-ve worked for them on two occasions,first time I was at a prize stall selling tickets(hated it),second time I collected tickets at the entrance onto one of the rides(hated it),they are a tough bunch of people to work for and pay is minimum,but on the plus side of things I got paid cash so I didnt have to give them my bank details ;-) and you also get to go on the rides for free(if your into that sort of thing)I-ve always found it handy for clearing up some of the post christmas debt.you also get free tea... thats about it really,its not a great job at all but you have to make the most of it.

    minimum wage is 8.65,but basically you-ll get sent to an attraction to work and you discuss it with the owner of that particular atttraction and they-ll clear it up for you wages seemed to vary from ride to ride,hours are the opening hours daily 12-10pm,basically each attraction owner is technically a seperate employer so you discuss it with them

    I don't like this cash-in-hand business. It means genuine people could be up against people on the dole.

    If I got a job, does anyone know how flexible and reliable they are or does it depend on the individual operator? I mean will I work every day or at a specific time every day or could it be something like they'll call me the day before when they are stuck?

    Nonsense post.

    Nonsense post.

    ??? Sorry?

    The first person said you apply and if picked you work for an individual ride.
    I just wanted to know how that works and if there are standard conditions.

    Sorry for asking. Well I didn't ask you personally anyway. Thanks for your very "non-nonsense" and helpful and informative reply

    I think you'd be working every day the place is open from start to finish, that would probably be pretty much it.

    There was a few people when I was there and has anybody heard back from them

    Smelling of cabbage and having not washed for days prior are essential criteria for this position.

    Applicants already possessing black bomber jackets will be given preference.

    Really Horrible place to work, I quit after 1 day.

    I was managing the queue of one of the attractions basically just getting abused the whole day. Worked for ten hours on my feet with one break my knees were in bits after it.

    They were grand about paying me for my days work (all in 5 euro notes) but they charge you for your ID.
