FANCY dealing cards and chips, or collecting bets for a living?

Eight hundred jobs from Resorts World at Sentosa (RWS) are up for grabs at the Career 2009 & Education 2009 fair, which begins today and ends on Sunday.

Around 15,000 jobs will be available at the four-day fair held at Suntec Singapore, Halls 601 to 603.

Casino jobs such as dealers and slot ambassadors are among the thousands of vacancies offered by the two upcoming integrated resorts.

RWS told my paper it expects at least 30,000 jobseekers at its booth over the next four days. Non-gaming positions will make up the majority of RWS' vacancies, such as in technical services, human resources and resort services in its Universal Studios theme park.

Ms Seah-Khoo Ee Boon, RWS' senior vice-president for human resources and training, said would-be applicants should be 'passionate about service, adaptable and quick thinking'.

'Those are some of the most important criteria,' she said.
