From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely hope you don't follow through on your plans to kick your own brother out of your house...
Offer him some support and guidance as an brother. He clearly needs it..
Start by giving him confidence, compliments for finishing a tough course and some respect. He needs to feel that engineering was a worthwhile course to pursue, and it is!
Engineering is a great field to break into and your career choices are limitless. Sit down with him and plan how he wants to break into the job market. Noone knows for certain what they want to do without doing it first and foremost. Your brother just needs to get his foot into the door and he should be able to work his way from there, or if he really doesn't like engineering, he can decide to do something more of his liking and suitability..
I can tell you, Malaysia is a great place to find work as an engineer if you do not ask for much, willing to put in the hard effort and willing to learn. Many companies will hire a starting grad engineer who has the right attitude and outlook.
Start searching for jobs by asking your immediate network of friends and family. I'm sure you know a friend who works in an engineering company. Most jobs come by this way. Online job postings and boards are also a great place to search. Cold call approach also works fine. Get him out there and doing things to make him more noticeable and employable.. He will eventually find a job.
Dont be so hard on him, it's not easy trying to find a job, the least you can do is give him your full support.
Tks for your suggestions. Actually my Dec. dead line is just a shock treatment for him. Not that I want to throw him out,although I am stretched. He has been staying at my place during his uni days. Because my dad is giving him pocket money, he wants to take a part time job to earn a little extra and waste time lazing around. All night on internet and get up late next day. He has done this 'wayang of not sure what to do', with my parents. Says he does not want O & G and does not like engineering. Now the whole family is upset, a person with so much potential is wasting away his life.
Any way like you said, I have sourced around and made him apply also. I've asked him for his CV which I will try with my circle of friends. My dad and I do think he needs to put his foot in to realize what is in store.
Even my dad agrees, he needs the shock treatment!
