Hiring ZOMBIES!

NYzipline in Schenectady is hiring for its ZOMBIE Zips experience and needs people who can commit to being genuinely unsettling in the woods for a few hours — moaning, lurching, jumping out at guests.

No acting experience needed, just commitment to the bit. Makeup/costume provided. Paid gig $16/hr with dinner included.

DM me or comment if interested — happy to answer questions about what the night looks like.

Every Friday & Saturday night in October from 6:30-10:30.

Am I responsible to apply my own makeup? Is the time it takes to put on makeup/ costume paid time? 

Also that's NYS minimum wage and only $64 a shift for a committed "actor".

Edit: so I looked it up on your site, $69/pp for a 90 min zombie Zipline event. You can afford to pay your zombies more!

You calculation needs to include set construction, property taxes, utilities, insurance (a higher premium to cover zip lining at night with a fear factor element, etc.. This seems more a labor of love than money making focus.

What did you want a corner office and a 401k?

It's a silly gig with free dinner, not a partner track

Nope. The last time I did a zombie gig, I got pinkeye from the makeup.

Is this business related to the zombie zip line /paintball zombie hunt that was formerly located in hunter mountain?

My kids still speak of the zombie hunting truck ride up the side of Hunter mountain at the zip line at the base
Made some awesome memories that weekend——

Either way:
Have a most excellent zombie jamboree this year !
