Strong turnout on first day of JobsDB career fair

More than 20,000 job seekers turned up on the first day of the JobsDB career fair at Suntec Convention Centre on Friday.

About 500 companies are recruiting - double the number of last year.

The newly-opened Resorts World Sentosa has more than 2,000 job vacancies available.

The job seekers include fresh graduates from the universities and polytechnics, as well as those looking for better prospects.

Steven Seek, managing director, JobsDB Singapore, said: "Now that the economy is getting better, they would like to see what other better opportunities (are there)...And of course, there is another group of people who would like to switch from another industry to more emerging industries like the service sector."
