A SWINDON hotel received more than 600 applications for 20 jobs.
The manager of the new 70-room Travelodge Swindon West on Barnfield Close felt overwhelmed by the surge of CVs she received from people who wanted to be part of her top team.
Aneta Kopysc had plenty of options to choose from when picking the best person to fill the six housekeeping roles and 14 staff working in the reception and restaurant.
She said: “I am overwhelmed by the amazing response I received for the 20 positions I advertised to join my new team. I was looking for individuals who are passionate about delivering great customer service and I am delighted that I now have a great team of local people in place.
"My focus right now is to train my team up so that we can hit the ground running when our hotel opens this spring as we are set for a busy year ahead.”
This is the second branch of the hotel chain to open in Swindon.
