Salary: RM400

Is this normal for office works? first time doing.
though McD part time pays a little better.
Any thoughts?

1st can you explain the above in more detail? it sounds weird for part time job

I'm not sure if its still called part time job.
I'm working part time as in only working for few months until I start my studies.
Though working hour is still full time. Does that help?

I say quite low the pay. But then again, see la what you do, what exactly is this "making user guides for the software/website" is. What are the things you do there..

If little, copy this that, print or something, search net for data or something, that fine.
If not, if the work is little hard, yea sounds low, kfc/mcd better pay.

hmm doesn't sound as part time job to me, it is more like temporary full time job (40 hours a week ?)
it is definitely low anyway u look at it, but it depends on you, job scope & your alternative options.
is the job relaxing or demanding? does it give you any exposure to your future studies?

yea, and the location..

hmm I think it is super little work, i finished up most work in a day yet the deadline is 4-5 days later
making user guides as in click this link and something will pop up, what you should do, whats the next step for payment etc.
but i much prefer more work = more pay. so i guess finding another job huh?

yea i think its a temp full time job. its extremely relaxing and no it doesn't relate to my studies in much ways.

but it's only like RM2.50 per hour.

that not part-time but full-time. just in short term period. like 2,3 months.

yea i know right? other jobs at least has RM3 -6 per hour.

oh i see. but most job advertisements generalize it as part time

maybe its due to the difference in workload that decides the salary?

Civil Engineer seems to earn lesser than Mechanical engineers. I may not be right. Anyone can share with me their views or is currently a mech/civil IR? Thank you .

U are jobless right? So why dun you work 1st .. Gain knowledge and experience.. Dun buy car..

bro, oil and gas red-neck job is it? not everyone is fit for it.
