Fair offers over 5,500 jobs

JOB seekers swarmed the Resorts World Sentosa's (RWS) booth at Singapore's largest career and education fair on Thursday, all wanting one of 2,000 remaining jobs up for grabs.

Career and Training 2010: Education 2010 was officially opened on Thursday by Dr Amy Khor, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for the Environment and Water Resources, and will run till Sunday.

Exhibitors include universities, polytechnics, training providers and private and public sector companies. They are jointly offering more than 5,500 jobs and 35,000 places in academic courses.

Two-thirds of the jobs on offer at RWS are for the casino and the adjoining Universal Studios theme park, while the others are in areas such as food and beverage, facilities management, security and transport.

Also at the exhibition is the Marina Bay Sands resort, which has 500 jobs on offer. A spokesman said this would be the last hiring burst before the resort opens on April 27, but did not have the number of applicants so far.

Mr Radie Joseph Jose, 24, was at both booths on Thursday. He is hoping to move into the hotel management field from his current job in customer service.
