As the MLB baseball season begins this year, many teenagers and young adults will have yet another place of employment in their own hometown in which they can attempt to obtain a job from. Most jobs that are not normally year round positions open with Spring and the prospectus of Major League baseball’s new season. These jobs which are back after a 5 month hiatus can create quite a buzz in these towns as more people are offered the opportunity to gain employment. Even though regular jobs are hard to fill because the demand all year round is so great, jobs in baseball like vendor positions, and merchandise sales, as well as security jobs will become available in most major cities in the United States as baseball gets ready to open for the season. So if you are looking for a job, look no further than MLB and your home team. Here is your first opportunity to apply for a job for free!

Taking a look at your city’s Major League team for employment is a great venture, because the baseball season spans 6 months, and if you are lucky to live in a town that cares about baseball and the post season, it can even be extended. Major league baseball teams will hire hundreds and hundreds of sales persons and vendors all for different positions to man the stadium for the new season. Companies will be hiring security personnel as well. There are different entities that are not associated with the actual ballpark and they handle the security outside of the stadium as well as inside. These jobs will require that you attend a short seminar and in that seminar, most of the applicants that are picked for an event security staff position is given an overview of the job.

I can tell you that it was a fun job for me during the 1990’s as I was able to land a part-time job with the security company for Joe Robbie Stadium. For the most part there was a debriefing before and after each ball game, in which we were told of any situations that arose that might be of interest from the point of view of the security staff. Personnel at the stadium are always kept abreast of any ongoing situations and the debriefing is put into place to find a solution for plans that don’t work. Most large cities have their own municipal police departments man both the inside and outside of the stadium, but the work performed by the security guards is different of that of the police. The security is placed there as the eyes and ears of the stadium officials who are running the event.  The police departments take action only in the event of an unruly patron, everything else for the most part lies as part of the responsibility of event security. Everything from assisting patrons with their seating, to manning the parking situation and lots.
