SF Bay Hiring Update: Lufthansa Love Fest, HP Hiring more than Google & Why You May Want to Think In the Box
Did you miss “Lufthansa German Airlines Day” yesterday? The City of San Francisco toasted Lufthansa in “honor of the first regularly scheduled commercial Airbus 380 flight to enter the city.”
The two story plane – the world’s largest – has 526 seats and will increase the number of people visiting San Francisco by hundreds—if not thousands. “The fleet upgrade will lead to 1,300 direct and indirect jobs in San Francisco, Board of Supervisors President David Chiu said, and generate $100 million in revenue annually.”
Look for jobs in tourism, hospitality and operations—all industries that pick up with more foot traffic. Here are 300 job listings already, 70 postings of which have a salary estimate of $100K and above.
