Just be patient. You will get your break soon enough. Good luck

thanks bro. i been jobhunting(jobstreet) since july.. officially graduated on 17/11/13.
i kept saying to myself, it was just 1 month since graduate... still early to be worried...
but people around me been freaking out like once 2013 come to an end, thats it for me nobody gonna actually hire me then.
dunno, as long as i still have faith i believe the offer would come. just the matter of time n effort.

last year this time a lot headhunter call me.. this year is less

wat so big deal, every year, 2nd half of the year has less job opening one la.

unless the previous employee dam dulan the company, if not, sure wait for bonus then run.

i hope u are right. i applied tons of job already.
mostly no return. hope to get a better luck on early 2014

beginning of the year is the best time. Usually Feb-Jun.

2nd half of the year, usually are frustrated people leaving, rather sacrifice the bonus than stayin in d company and bare with god knows wat torture or stupidity is in there.

definitely there are some who gotten good offer, and left. but this is not most of the time.

btw many years of working experience do you have?

zero working experience here.
the only experience i gained was during my internship..
i believe this is one of the factors why i'm having hard time finding a job now.

Cant be jobless for too long. It is no good for your resume, try diversing if possible.

Use your time to read books on how to perform in an interview. Tailor your reply for interview questions, ask more experienced people for feedback. The key to getting a job during an interview is the ability to smooth talk and additude. Always give a life example that best demonstrate the situation.

Also take time to revise your resume. It is another skill that you need to use to gain an advantage over the shit pile of applicants. Always use a cover letter. And finally if possible, call the company about the job vacancy after 2 days of application.

It is all about leaving impression. You will get the job when both hiring manager and HR remembered you.

ic... i should start making a phone call...
i never did a follow up after applied to them previously.
er, i'm jobless since 17 november. that consider bad? worried already

i jobless for 6 years.....but doing freelance enough for me to survive, still can brought my condo house...

anyone looking for job, pls pm me ur resume..will forward to my client if they hv open post

pm to gamegear@hotmail.my

tq

still ok just slightly over one month.
sometimes when you are desperately looking for jobs, it seems impossible to find one. when you stop looking then people starts calling.

so just keep calm and chill, analyze the jobs openings in jobstreet properly you will find the ideal one soon. worst case scenario go to a job agency, you will get one pretty fast.

What is your degree may I ask ?

oh.....freshie huh.....

usually first job, you not sure what you want. summore not very sure what the job do. anyhow you should have your freshie goal/dream.....and apply for what you think is right for you. you won't know what is right for you and you can't imagine what is it like in that job as well.

stay unemployed is not a big issue, no worry, but you don't stop there. keep searching. if interviewer asked y unemployed since graduation, you can always say you were helping your dad or uncle's company temporary lo. can goreng abit.

if you want to be practical, you can say since June, most of the companies are waitting for the budget announcement because they heard a lot of rumours. Few companies you were interviewed in, say they will KIV until Dec onwards, due to waitting new budget announcement.

If they ask which company, you no nid to answer,

or just say you don't think this is relevant and its confidential to you and the company. if they insist, shoot them back saying, if i told other company what you offered me in this interview, your company can accept?

if they say its ok, then no nid continue la, they are just some dum nut want to fool around, no intention to hire you.



first job usually lowly paid and doing a lot of basic stuffs, which will contribute to good foundation and work ethic.

one month is ok but not too long. Competition is crazy these days and you dont want to be left out during recruitment.

America is expecting to have another countdown next year Feb on government budget. If things goes south, expect to see those vacancy getting lesser.

Sometimes it is good to follow up, it shows interest in the job.

sorry for my late reply.
its bachelor (hons) in business administration (Islamic Banking)

Give yourself another month or 2. If by March still couldn't find your preferred job, then try the bank sales job. It is different from other sales job. It requires a lot of office work too. Did PBB mention whether it is consumer or corporate banking sales ? Corporate banking could be interesting. Anyway, get yourself a job first and gain some experience in your resume. Then you can apply for internal transfer or hop to other banks. It will be easier to find another job with experience under your belt

thanks for ur advise. yea im planning to seek for other job first.
they didn't mention it, but as i ask what product would i require to sell, the HR girl just say we have plenty of product, it could be insurance, loan or any other product we have. that only be decided on the interview day.
im not selective on my salary, i just want to grab anything come next after this sales position.
pray hard i could get a job before february =)

mind sharing what u do with me?
i been thinking on forming an online shop.
but still no ideas how to start and what to sell.
it would be great if u could share ur experience =)

when i first graduated, its took me almost 6 months to find the job.
