The platform is to link employers and job seekers together.”
The Content Director of StarTimes, Ms. Vicky Liu, described the show as a Corporate Social Responsibility and encouraged prospective job seekers or those seeking a new job to apply and submit their forms through the online registration platform, breakinginshow.com, for short listing and subsequent appearance on the show if selected without making any payment.

Ogundeji said: “We have a team of data specialists that will pool all the applications and invite the applicants to come for the show.
