<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"-->RESORTS World Sentosa (RWS) will hold its biggest mass recruitment drive this weekend, offering more than 5,000 jobs in 33 operational positions.
With the integrated resort due to open in a few months' time, RWS is stepping up its hiring to fill thousands of rank-and-file positions, ranging from concierges, limo and tram drivers, to bell-hops and chambermaids.
The mass walk-in recruitment will be held at e2i centre at Redhill from 9am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday.
'Many Singaporeans have been waiting for us to launch these positions, judging from the many number of calls that we received the past year regarding when they can apply,' said a statement from RWS on Thursday.
'With mere months to our opening in early 2010, we are ramping up our manpower numbers to ensure that roles are filled for a successful opening in the first quarter of 2010.'
The mass walk-in interview format is a new channel for RWS, in addition to its other initiatives which include job updates on its website, job fairs and roadshows, engagement with schools, partnerships and internship programmes with polytechnics, collaboration with job-portals and the Workforce Development Agency, e2i and CDCs.
