CEKKMATE - Cititel Express KK

Advertisement for recruitment was put up on 14th and 15th May in both Daily Express and the Oversea Chinese Daily news. Walk in interview was set for 15th and 16th May. Jeane, Melvin, Jennifer, Foo and Juhan all came in to conduct the interview.

The basement offices were used for the interview. 50 banquet chairs and tables were borrowed from another hotel. Housekeeping office was used as the waiting room and for the candidates to fill up the form. The Administration office and the training room were where the interview to take place.


On the first day, we have 62 walk in and on the second day, Saturday, more than 100 showed up and we managed to shortlist many candidates in all positions.

There are also many write in through email. By the third day of the advertisement on the paper, there were more than 150 applications.

Scanning through so many resumes and letters, and going through the interview, I can't help but realize that some candidates are either careless or ignorant. There was one letter that was addressed to another company. Some have obvious spelling mistakes. There are many who have no idea about the position they applied to. They are interested in the job eventhough their job experience was not slightly related. However, without a doubt, there was no lacking in confidence and enthusiasm from the aspiring candidates. I am convinced we will have a good team.
