FROM as early as 8am, dozens of job seekers queued up to register at Sengkang Community Club for a Healthcare Career Fair yesterday - two hours before the event even started.
By noon, the place was packed with hundreds of people, mostly Singaporeans wanting to learn more about the jobs on offer and whether they were eligible to apply.
A total of 1,103 job seekers registered for the fair eventually.
The huge turnout, and the kind of people who turned up, showed a willingness in Singaporeans to try out for different jobs and undergo training for specialised occupations in the health-care sector.
Among those looking for a fresh start in the industry is Mr Sivakumar Munusamy, 38, who comes from a retail background and is currently a part-time sales assistant.
Mr Munusamy, who is keen on a job as an operating theatre assistant or health-care attendant, says he is open to switching industries as long as on-the-job training is provided.
