I think his mistake was going back to Aus too late. Lots of people think that its better to gain more experience in Malaysia 1st, but I believe not too much is better. I am going back with 2 years big 4 audit experience. I planning to apply graduate jobs. So, if I were to compete with locals, at the very least I have some experience.

Your friend probably has a tons of experience and that is why employers are reluctant to hire even for bookkeeping jobs. Because they know that you friend will cabut as soon as a better offer comes. For senior level jobs in other companies, like most forumers said, they can find some1 with local exp. You can say your friend is stuck in the middle. My 2 cents la.

Graduate jobs is real nightmare to apply. Thousand of applicants but only 1-2 spots.

Even those at graduate program also get terminated like flies.

At least at experienced level, the list is much smaller then grads.

For those that have too much experience and apply for entry level job is just plain stupid. HR will think that way as well.

How about lookup functions eg vlookup? pivot tables? Data manipulation and automation? All these are pretty basic in this line.

Yup it is basic Excel that they should know. Maybe some people just prefer to just work like donkey.

Cant blame them for being one as well. It is their choice after all.

IT is kinda wide area. Me, as a system admin now in Malaysia also won't have a clue how to program it. Programmers might able to do it but it also depends which language they normally use.

But if your company is more towards VBA in Excel then you have to look for a guy that is good on it

Excel is basic stuff that an IT guy should know. I am currently a M&E&I&hydraulic engineer and I know I need that to work more efficiently in data manipulation/filtering in the office.

I am the kinda that like to make my work shorter and get free time to sit around. Being too efficient is bad as well because I will end up doing other people' s work without an extra pay.

The dying and collapse of Australia Automobile Industry just begins. Thus loss the 9% contribution to Australia GDP.

From 2015, Ford will cease operation, followed by Toyota and Holden in 2017.

It look bad with Liberal in run.

They a lot more coming a head. Mining bubble burst is just the beginning.

Guess who gives fund to those banks as well. If I am not mistaken mining gives almost 15-20% of GDP.
