ALMOST 8,000 people applied for the 1,000 vacancies in Marina Bay Sands' casino after a two-day job fair at Suntec City over the weekend.
The response surpassed expectations, just days after the company cited difficulties filling positions to man its gaming tables.
"Over 14,000 people visited our dealer recruitment fair over the weekend. We are very happy and encouraged by the response. Out of this group, we received 7,800 applicants, of which the majority are locals," said the company in a statement.
It added: "We will focus on these local applicants to fill the remaining dealer positions."
To help explain the games in the casinos to those unfamiliar with the industry, the resort flew in pit managers from its Macau operations for the job fair.
And so far, the effort seems to have been successful.
It said it plans to roll out other recruitment activities in the coming months to attract Singaporeans to work in the integrated resort.
