In 2020, at 50, Malliga Syed lost her job as a Changi Airport experience manager during the COVID-19 pandemic. She had worked there for 14 years and job-hunting online via portals like JobStreet and JobsDB, and Zoom interviews, is completely new to her. But she got help from Workforce Singapore’s Career Connect with her online resume. (For more jobs and training opportunities, visit https://go.gov.sg/jobsgohere-cnai.) As a retrenched worker, she also received cash from the Government’s COVID-19 Support Grant. With family bills to pay, Malliga decided to on a career switch to healthcare. Her new role as a senior patient service associate at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) involves learning medical jargon and other unfamiliar terms, but her customer service experience has stood her in good stead.
