Tips & Warnings
Consider working in the food service side of things by working at the concession area before seeking employment as an usher. Not only are there more of these jobs, but you'll also have the inside track on job openings in other departments. Ask about volunteer opportunities at the Nassau Coliseum, which usually come up during major events, fairs and festivals. This gives you experience working at the coliseum, which you can use on your resume and applications when applying for an usher position.
