Gaylord Pacific Resort seeks 800 employees at Chula Vista job fairs

The Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center in Chula Vista is conducting a series of job fairs to fill 800 positions ahead of its scheduled opening in May. The job fairs, co-hosted by the San Diego Workforce Partnership, have attracted thousands of job seekers, with long waiting lines reported despite the organizers' efforts to streamline the process. Applicants are vying for roles across various departments, including guest services, culinary, IT, and housekeeping. The new resort is part of a larger Bayfront development plan, expected to generate significant economic benefits for the area, including over $11 million in annual tax revenue and more than 4,000 permanent jobs. The initiative is seen as a boon for the local economy, providing much-needed job opportunities and revitalizing the South Bay area. Future job fairs are scheduled to continue, accommodating the high demand from the community.
