    Roger Federer and other tennis celebrities won’t be the only persons serving at the US Open in Flushing next month.

    The event’s staffing company is seeking to fill 700 temporary service jobs at the Open, which runs from Aug. 25 to Sept. 13. Positions include concession-stand managers, cashiers, servers and cooks.Amerivents prefers that applicants have experience in customer or food service, along with a knack for service with a smile.

    "We've already seen a high demand this past week," said James Della Pace, president of Amerivents. "There's an increased number of registrations, well over last year's, but we expected that with the tough economy."

    The work schedule is flexible, but workers are expected to commit for the full three weeks, Della Pace said. Pay ranges from $8 an hour and up, depending on the position.
