Retail chain Tuskys Supermarket has received 10,000 applications for 800 internship positions it had advertised for its fourth cohort, signalling the dire race for vacancies in a gloomy job market.
Out of the 10,000 applicants only 1,700 were shortlisted for interviews, which ended on Friday evening. Tuskys chief executive Dan Githua said that applications rose by 70 per cent from the previous call. More than 20 applicants had masters degrees.
