Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort is seeking to fill hundreds of jobs at its soon-to-open hotel in Hollywood.

Tim Arnold, director of food and beverage at the Jimmy Buffett-inspired resort, said he is looking to fill about 300 jobs for the 349-room hotel and its eight restaurant and bar venues.

Hundreds of applicants have participated in the resort’s hiring event June 23-25 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day at the Hillcrest Golf & Country Club, 4600 Hillcrest Drive in Hollywood.

Arnold told the South Florida Business Journal that job seekers will be placed in a “dynamic” environment at the event to see how they respond to the Margaritaville vibe, while still maintaining their professionalism. He said they should also bring resumes and be prepared to talk about their past work experience.

“We’re not hung up on the dress code,” Arnold said about the event. “We’re focused more on personality, enthusiasm and professionalism.”

Margaritaville Hollywood expects to hire people from all hospitality backgrounds, Arnold said, from previous amusement park workers to luxury hotel workers and others.

Open positions include servers, bartenders, hosts and hostesses, bussers, cooks, stewards, front desk agents, supervisors, concierge, doormen, valet, bell attendants, housekeepers, housekeeping supervisors, house attendants, laundry attendants, spa staff, recreation staff, security officers and retail attendants.

Arnold would not specify how much these positions pay on average, but said they are “competitive” and many would be full-time posts.

Margaritaville Holllywood Beach Resort is at 1111 North Ocean Drive in Hollywood.
