Some 975 people turned out for a job fair in Menlo Park on Sunday, Feb. 8, seeking positions at the soon-to-open Rosewood Hotel on Sand Hill Road, near Interstate 280.
Rosewood officials were looking to fill openings for desk clerks, concierges, housekeepers, food servers and line cooks, among other positions.
All told, Rosewood officials offered positions to 75 of the applicants. Rosewood representatives will conduct follow-up interviews with other job seekers to fill some of the 125 positions that are still open, a hotel spokeswoman said. The hotel is set to open April 2.
During the job fair, applicants lined up at the front of the Burgess Recreation Center in the Menlo Park Civic Center complex to sign in. They filled out applications at a bank of laptop computers, watched a video about the features of the new hotel, and waited for their names to be called for individual interviews at tables set up in several rooms at the recreation center.
After the interview process, successful applicants were called into yet another room to receive formal job offers, and to fill out paperwork. These included Cara Nonnenberg of Menlo Park, who will work at the new hotel’s front desk; and David Carrahan, also a Menlo Park resident, who landed a job as a locker room attendant.
