Directed to the supervisor of the area they were hoping to be hired for, the 164 applicants who made the cut on Monday were directed to an outside balcony area overlooking the golf course – and the never-ending line of potential employees below them. Two rooms were set up for interviews that were divided by departments such as food and beverage or hotel service. to set up the area to prepare for the fast-paced process, trying to serve as many applicants as possible.Ībout 40 members of the management teams from every department, along with a Human Resources team of eight, volunteered to assist in the process. Some departments were making offers on the spot. Many of those were for management and supervisory positions, which require a more in-depth interview. “I would say approximately 50 percent made it to the interview, but it is very hard to determine this because we had departments do meet-and-greet with applicants and schedule interviews for a later date.”

“We processed a total of 878 applicants,” said Gloria Baron, Human Resources Director.

Once inside the building they were directed to the next phase by Zachary Morin, who has worked at the Soboba Casino for more than three years and is currently a supervisor in the slots department.

More than 1,000 eager contenders waited in a line that curled around the building in a serpentine fashion to maximize the space needed to accommodate all that showed up. Those not able to find parking spaces were directed to the existing Soboba Casino about half a mile away and were shuttled to the golf course venue. Cars lined Soboba Road in and around the facility.
