SINGAPORE: Resorts World at Sentosa had received about 20,000 job applications during a recent career fair at Suntec City. It was offering some 800 job openings during the event.
The company said one in two job applicants wanted to work for the resort's casino, while 40 per cent of the applicants wanted to join Southeast Asia's first and only Universal Studios theme park.
The resort's booth saw massive crowds from the moment the fair opened last Thursday.
It received 1,000 job applications within the first 90 minutes of the fair, and 5,000 job applications by the end of the first day. Job applications also streamed in via its website and through the mail.
Applicants consisted of local and foreign job seekers, as well as professionals, fresh graduates and the recently retrenched.
Resorts World at Sentosa said it is committed to offering 10,000 jobs when it opens next year, despite the economic climate.
