Pirates Of Emerson Holds Weekend Job Fair For Halloween Haunt

PLEASANTON, CA — Get paid to be ghoulish!

Pirates of Emerson, a Halloween haunt staged annually at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, is hosting a job fair Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 20-21, for the upcoming season.

The sessions run 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the fairgrounds, and applicants must be at least 18 years old.

The haunted extravaganza returns as a walk-thru this year and will run select evenings from Sept. 30 to Oct. 31.

"Keep in mind that this job really isn't for everyone," management said. "It's not as easy as it sounds, but if you are into scaring people, in a fun environment, you can make it through and have a blast!"

Employees will earn $15 per hour, with a $300 bonus if working all nights of operation, company officials said. Copies of driver licenses (or government-issued photo ID) and Social Security cards are required at the interviews.

Job-seekers should enter the fairgrounds at Gate 12 off Valley Avenue, inform the guard/parking attendant the visit is for Pirates interviews, then take an immediate right onto Road 6, the company said. The Pirates offices will be an eighth-of-a-mile on the right near Gate 8.
