hey you guys! is it easy to get a job if you are a graduate in engineering with only a pass?

Hi, imo as long as you have the qualification, its very easy to get a job. Just depends on whether you want to accept the salary they offer you.

My 2 cents...

Not really, if you notice the latest in the papers; thousands of graduates are jobless. To get a big paycheck, you need the years of experience as well - or else how is the company going to trust that you can do the job?
You're right on one thing though; as long as you have the qualification, you can get any job. But finding the RIGHT job? That's another story.


ps: someone i know graduated with masters degree, but still getting basic 2k in IT line. so definitely qualifications didn't help ....

qualification does not prove that you will getting high salary. It is just a knowledge to adapt.

Experience and contacts is the main point for company to hire a staff that willing to pay higher then freshie.

If you want high pay, work for yourself. Or join the sales team.

Heh Working for yrself is easier said than done. First u need the capital, funds, contacts etc. Secondly, what kinda stuff uwanna sell? The fast selling products are all distributed by MNC's and the guys with moolah.

You want a big pay cheque? Yeah well, toil in yr currnet job for a couple of years, gain the experience and probably you will have the "assets" that will garner you a bigger pay cheque.

some companies dont even look at your results. If you do not have a second class upper degree, they dont even wanna interview you. Only reason why they hire graduates over non- grads are because grads are supposedly able to "do their own research" and be independent.

However, since our education system spoon feeds us, most Mal grads are hopeless when it comes to making their own decisions at the work place. For a starting pay of RM1.5K its a lil lower compared to other companies, but then again, you gotta look at the benefits. Bonus, increment upon confirmation, medical benefits, transport allowance, overtime, annual leave etc. There are many other factors to consider, not just that monthly pay cheque.

i aslo graduated from Tunku Abdul Rahman College with degree from Campbell University (US).

Advance CGPA is 3.75

This is my first and only offer....When i apply and they straight away hire me with the above paid.

I think that i am underpaid !! Am i correct?

but since i am too scare cant get job, so i accept the offer without consider so much.

i am not regret since this is the decision i make but hopefully i can have better paid later...

thanks

ur basic salary is 6k or including commission and claim?

anybody work in food industries??

work load?

I dont think you are under paid.... 1850 for a fresh grad is a reasonable price....
dont think too much about that yet... try to learn and stay for a year before deciding to leave

consider good liau leh loh...me getting 1,7 k only for very first job

i am saying underpaid bcoz my friends got higher paid than me.. ..
But it is ok...as long as i have job.. ..just learn as much as i can....

thanks for the advice...

Any CCNP holder with degree and no experience....
How much can expect from the employer?

with the CGPA you got, I think you should look for a bigger firm and get at least 2K.
unless this small shop give you excellent exposure, else 6 months is good enough to stay there.
