More Jobs Coming

During the weekend, there was an advertisement on the recruitment drive by The Marina Sands Resort. I believe this comes at the right time when everyone is now worried about the gloomy outlook of economy since the market crashed recently. Many had lost their savings, especially those who had placed money in investment related to Lehman Bros. Some of them happen to be retirees who were hoping to reap a higher interest compared with the traditional fixed deposits or savings accounts.

The jobs offered in this recruitment drive will mean that as many as 10,000 jobs will be created to the locals (priority) before foreigners are being considered. This followed a recent report that many Singaporean had hoped to work for as long as possible even to their retirement age.

The jobs will vary from F&B staff, security officers, hotel positions and more, when Integrated Resort opens its doors for business at the end of next year. Will we see a big shift of employees from other organisations much like the musical chairs then? Will people move about or will those with their current employers stay put?
