850 vie for 180 SMRT jobs

By Cheryl Ong

HUNDREDS of job seekers thronged Ang Mo Kio MRT station on Friday, hoping to land one of the 180 jobs being offered by SMRT.

The queue stretched from the barriers at the control station, where a makeshift booth for job application has been set up, to the pedestrian pathway outside the train station.

There were about 850 people filling up forms or waiting to be interviewed at the station at the roadshow, which started at 9am. The crowd only started to disperse five hours later.
