Wanna spend the summer in jail on one of San Francisco most iconic landmarks? Alcatraz is hiring—and we kind of want to apply. The famous former prison is seeking "Seasonal Visitor Services Representatives." That's the fancy job title of the folks who pass out the audio tour headphones and point out bathrooms to visitors. While certainly not glamorous, we can't imagine a cooler office than the haunted halls of "The Rock."
Anyone considering the job should be available nights and weekends, possess a high school diploma and great customer service skills, and be willing to stand up all day and pass out headsets to confused visitors. Fear of spooky historical spaces and an aversion to commuting over choppy Bay waters could be deal-breakers.
Alcatraz really ramps up throughout the summer season, and tourists from all over the world will be crowding the island in their "Alcatraz Psych Ward" striped t-shirts. Multi-lingual speakers are encouraged to apply, presumably as are people who can figure out that the German language tour is the headset with the German flag on it, and so forth.
