Want to Work at the Four Seasons Hotel?

City providing special advantages and opportunities for residents who want to apply

Hotel opens in December 2005

By Raquel Medina
Redevelopment Project Coordinator
City of East Palo Alto

The City of East Palo Alto’s Redevelopment Agency is ensuring through its First Source Hiring Program that local residents have the best advantage for the new jobs created by the Four Seasons Hotel.

“The City’s Redevelopment Agency is working closely with the Four Seasons Hotel to ensure that at least 30% of its work force comes from East Palo Alto.” Said Marie McKenzie, East Palo Alto’s First Source Hiring Program Manager. “Right now, the hotel is recruiting and hiring managers and supervisors. Residents with management or supervisory experience in the hospitality industry are encouraged to apply at East Palo Alto’s City Hall, 2415 University Avenue, 2nd floor, where they can submit a completed Resident Intake/First Source Hiring Application together with their resume.” (You can also click to open the Resident Intake/First Source Hiring Application ).

For over one year, OICW (a community non-profit training and employment agency) has been working with the City’s Redevelopment Agency to design classes that will prepare East Palo Alto residents for the new jobs created in the City’s redevelopment areas. OICW has also been providing ESL (English as a second language) and Resume Builder classes to help East Palo Alto residents improve their employment skills. Cañada College and the Employment Development Department are two other partners that have contributed significantly to the City’s First Source Hiring Program.

Basic or conversational English language is required to work at the Four Seasons Hotel. For more than a year, OICW has been offering ESL classes in anticipation of the hotel opening. Lawrence King, Job Developer at OICW reports ESL classes have been filled both day and night, additional classes are now being offered. Anyone interested in enrolling should call OICW at (650)330-6429

Shortly, the Four Seasons Hotel will be ready to fill its non-management positions. Residents who desire to work for the hotel are encouraged to prepare by completing a Resident Intake/First Source Hiring Application, attending one or all of the events mentioned in this article and by enrolling in the specially designed classes.

Completing the Resident Intake/First Source Hiring Application is the first step residents need to take to secure employment with the Four Season’s Hotel. The application enables the City to notify residents about job opportunities and the available support services designed to give EPA residents the advantage to secure many of the jobs created in the City’s redevelopment areas. Job support services for the Four Seasons Hotel will include Informational Sessions, Pre-employment Advantage Training Classes and a Job Fair for EPA Residents only.

East Palo Alto residents, who wish to learn more about the hotel, its history, and why it is one of the Top 100 Company’s to work for today, are invited to attend a Four Seasons Hotel Employment Informational Session at City Hall on Tuesday, August 23 and Thursday, August 25 from 6-7:30 pm. EPA residents may reserve a seat now by calling (650) 853-5912, the First Source Hiring Job Hotline.

East Palo Alto Residents may improve their odds for getting a job with the Four Seasons Hotel by attending a First Source Pre-Employment Advantage Training Class. This 3.5-hour class will offer tips and techniques on how to succeed at the interview with the Four Seasons Hotel. Classes, including basic interviewing skills, resume review and customer service training will be held September 13 -17, by registration only. To secure a space in the classes, interested residents should come to either the Four Seasons Hotel Informational dates (August 23 or 25) and sign up there or call the Job Hotline at (650) 853-5912.

The Four Seasons Hotel will hold a Job Fair for East Palo Alto residents only September 22 and 23, 2005. More information regarding the location and times to follow.
