talking from experience lah..
its true lots of company prefer experience personnel..
but if you are fresh grad.. you might consider this..
when applying jobs.. apply for tecnician first instead shooting application as an engineer. i see including some of my friend that just finished studying applying for post like enginner and stuff cause the have degree. even thou you got degree /bach or higher. without proper experience. you just only pro in your educational life. but in real working life.. a lot of thing is not quite a same as what your learn before. trust me.. you learn in uni/ college by sequal ABCDEFG and so on.. but when you working..its kindda diffrent. you do not according to sequal.

be patient applying job. its true your qualification worth and RM 3K job.and job as a technician/ support is lesser pay and you think your educational qualification is higher than that. even for me with qualification & 3 yrs IT experience.. my salary still not reaching 2K.. but i'll keep improving myself to achive it..

Still RMK 9 got less IT involvement in it. so i'll think you know what will happen then.

my advise is for fresh grad and also not-so experience guys to reach out any opportunity ahead. go as a technician first. lesser pay but load of knowledge and new skill. since you are the "tech" person.. apply on a smaller company since you got lots of applicant rival at a bigger company.. when you get enuff experience..jump ship if there is an opportunity.. but dont jump alot. people might think something else.

back to the topic.. network got lots of diversity in it. wheter civil type or infront of PC type.. you decide.. as for me.. field work is the best..i miss it a lot. its so boring monitoring the busiest internet line in malaysia..
