USJ Swamped by 1,800 Job Seekers

Great Scott!

(via The Japan Times Online):

"Universal Studios Japan said Saturday that about 1,800 people lined up the same day to apply for part-time jobs this spring — twice as many as last year.

The push is part of USJ's annual recruitment drive. It needs about 1,200 people to fill 26 types jobs ranging from store clerks to park guides.

'This is the largest number of applicants we've had since the opening of the park,' said a USJ official.

'It's probably because of the recession,' he said."

Ya think?
