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. He said it’s been exciting to see the construction of the replacement casino while driving to work each day. 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.
