ABOUT 750 jobseekers who have applied for Marina Bay Sands' 4,500 casino jobs turned up on Wednesday for the first screening session.

Held in conjunction with NTUC's Employment and Employability Institute (e2i), the recruitment exercise saw applicants attending a career briefing and one-to-one interviews.

They also went through tests which checked for colour blindness, and how well they could do mental arithmetic. This was to ensure they are suitable for jobs that may need them to calculate and count winnings on the spot, or identify different coloured chips.
