Interview
You come and go straight to the host stand. They will give you a paper application to fill out. Definitely bring a resume with you, it looks good. If you go on a Monday or Tuesday morning before 3 you might get an interview right away. They'll tell you when orientation is and they will help you get T.I.P certified.
