Fantasy Springs looking to hire 19 public safety officers at job fair Tuesday
Fantasy springs is looking to hire 19 Security and Public Safety Officers at a job fair on Tuesday, November 10th, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the Special Events Center. Masks were required and applicants were temperature screened. Stations maintained strict social distancing
standards.
The employees would be in charge of the safety of all guests and employees. This includes the added responsibilities COVID brings. Ruth Pacillas, the talent acquisition manager with Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino, said, “We do the temperature checks and masks, making sure everyone is wearing their masks and making sure everyone is social distancing so we just need a lot more presence on the floor.”
Michael Felci is the public relations manager with Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino. He said, “If you are interested in a career in law enforcement, or an emergency first responder, a paramedic, this is a great first step.” He mentioned that there is paid training for people who are interested in this.
During a time of coronavirus where many have lost their jobs, Fantasy Springs said they did not lay off any employees and are looking to hire more positions. Robert Silverang, the director of human resources with Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino said, “We anticipate that we are going to be very busy when the COVID is over so we want to be geared up for that.”
No experience is required but they are looking for someone with excellent communication and customer service skills. Silverang added, “We are looking for good personalities, hospitality minded people because that’s what we are here for, to supply a great experience for our guests.”
Jesus Ortiz was attending the job fair Tuesday. He said he had a security job lined up at the beginning of the year with the tennis gardens but once COVID hit the job was no longer available. He said, “Luckily for me this is a great opportunity, something in the same lane so hopefully it works out.”
Felci added, “We know this is a challenging time for a lot of people across the country and locally here in the valley. So obviously it’s a good thing we are looking to add talented resourceful people while unfortunately other places are losing people.”
If you were unable to attend the job fair, you can still apply for this position and over 50 other positions at Fantasy Springs online. Go to their website and click the Employment tab at the bottom.
News Channel 3's Taban Sharifi will have more about this job fair tonight on KESQ.
