Tesco Vacancies Oversubscribed
There has been huge interest in job opportunities at a national supermarket.
Some 1,500 people applied for 92 new jobs at one of Tesco's expanding Belfast stores.
The jobs are at the Knocknagoney store and the opportunities were offered after it was expanded to become the claimed largest supermarket in Northern Ireland.
Director of Tesco in Northern Ireland, Gary Mills, said: "At a time when many other companies are downsizing or remaining static, we are actively investing in jobs and the local economy.
"Over the past six months, the development of three Extra stores in Northern Ireland at Carrickfergus, Newtownbreda and now Knocknagoney, has created around 275 new jobs at these stores.
"This consolidates our position as Northern Ireland's largest private employer of local people and brings our total employment number to around 9,500 people.
"In addition, we have invested more than £20 million in the local economy and secured hundreds of jobs in the construction industry creating these three Extra stores".
Knocknagoney store manager Paul Gilvary said: "We are delighted that the construction work has been completed and the store is looking absolutely fantastic."
