Office, said at the Big C Sakon Nakhon Job Fair press conference: "The Sakon Nakhon Employment Office, in collaboration with Big C Supercenter PLC, is holding the Big C Sakon Nakhon Job Fair on August 18 and 19, 2005.
The goal for this event is to give Big C the opportunity to meet applicants directly while creating new jobs and occupations for the people of Sakon

The new store will be ready to open in December 2005 to provide convenient shopping for residents of Sakon Nakhon and nearby provinces.
Candidates selected following the job fair will be trained at other Big C
locations for 30 to 60 days to learn more about the retail business and the operation of all areas of the store. They will start working at Big C Sakon Nakhon in November to get familiar with their jobs and ensure everything is in place before the store officially opens in December.
