Ticket Taker Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
I'm applying at a Cinemark theater (probably others soon) and really have no idea what to write in the "Position Applied For" blank. The only theater job I know the official title of is usher, but I know there are far more jobs than that...I just call them ticket taker, refreshments, projection room, etc... What are all of (or as many as you know) the job positions in a movie theater and what do these jobs entail?

(Other than babysitting and dog walking) I'm 16 and I really want to get a job but one where I don't have to be a cashier. I'm good with people and animals. I was thinking of working at a movie theater as part of the clean up crew or ticket taker, will they make me be a cashier? Any suggestions??? Thanks:)

Every job I've had, I've dealt with the public (cashier, telemarketing, sales). I've noticed that I'm slowly losing my patience working with customers, and I feel that I'm better off finding a career that does not involve the public. What kind of jobs should I be looking for? I honestly do not know of any jobs that does not have to deal with any customers. Any input is greatly appreciated!

I need a job for my male character. I was thinking maybe a bartender or waiter at a flash restaurant. It has to be a job that he can get easily, because he dropped out of school when he was 16 (because his gf got pregnant) and that makes an alright amount of money. I want him to work there from the ages of 16-18. Any ideas? Thanx! Scratch the bartender lol, I just worked out that wouldn't work :p

In order to get hired? i'm talking about minimum-wage jobs, jobs that pay 8 to 10 bucks an hour, jobs in retail, fast-food, customer-service, such as stocking merchandise, being a stock clerk, gathering shopping-carts in the parking-lot, being an usher-ticket taker at a movie theater, bussing tables and washing dishes, cashier, places like McDonalds and Grocery stores, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Movie Theaters, etc. Overall, why are these types of jobs called entry-level when they expect or require past work experience in order to get hired? because i've applied to these types of jobs before and i have gotten rejected, turned town too many times what are some of the most common specific reasons a person would be struggling to get hired for even a dead-end, minimum-wage paying job? what are the common reasons for rejection?

I'm not applying for anywhere fancy but for some reason they're requiring a resume. It's just for a call representative at Convergys and I didn't take anything relevant to this job in highschool. Does anyone know any way to glorify it? Even with little white lies?

Okay, so twice this summer I met two different girls who were quite cute and were girls I wanted to ask for their numbers but me being the unknowing person I am about that sort of thing failed to. The first was a ticket taker at AMC who spoke with a British accent (she said it was fake) and the second was tonight at a Best Buy who was quite quirky and animated and seemed as nerdy as I am. How do I go about asking them or any similar girl for their number?
