Among the many promised benefits to the local economy from the new Circuit of the Americas (COTA) FI track and debut race Nov. 16-18 will be some 1,200 short-term jobs during the event, reports KXAN:
Parking attendants, ticket scanners, servers, guest service and VIP suite attendants are needed.
"They're all friendly, all smiling and their [sic.] all welcoming people saying thank you, a lot of things people take for granted in many businesses," said Tom Schneider, director of guest services for Circuit of The Americas. "We don't take that for granted."
Those interested can apply online via event staffing company Stadium People. Or if money doesn’t matter to you there are also volunteer opportunities.
COTA promises future possible gigs at other events held at the track. And Stadium People rep Andrew Jackson says it’s more than just a chance to earn some chump change:
“[T]he folks are going to take away a part of history when they're doing working this thing."
Sure, whatever you say, dude.
