Employment and jobs are limited on the coast, glad to see Margaritaville will be bringing more jobs to the Coast.

Key jobs are being advertised for Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Casino and Restaurant, which is under construction in East Biloxi, and casino officials hope to fill many of them with local talent.

The positions that are being reviewed and filled are directors of food and beverage, marketing, human relations, gaming operations and surveillance along with manager of information systems.

In November the casino will launch a web site and begin posting jobs for people to work in the casino and restaurant. (BiloxiCasinos.com will post the link once it is active)
