2,000 jobs at new mall

ABOUT 2,000 jobs ranging from those in retail sales and services to food outlets will become available when a new mall in Serangoon Central opens in November.

A recruitment drive to find Singaporeans and permanent residents to fill these positions has begun, organised jointly by the mall, nex, and the Employment and Employability Institute (e2i).

Job seekers who show up at the Braddell Heights Community Club, near nex, attend an introduction to the mall and briefings by participating mall tenants. They are then screened for job suitability.

Those found suitable but need training are recommended courses to attend, the cost of which is subsidised for Singaporeans and permanent residents who are not working.

Turning up for this first phase of the recruitment drive does not guarantee placement in a job. Shortlisted job seekers will still have to undergo interviews with the individual mall tenants next month, under Phase 2 of the recruitment drive.

About a fifth of nex's roughly 350 tenants, including Wendy's, BreadTalk, Isetan and Popular, are taking part in the drive.
