wew u scared me bro.. i finish my intern on july. been seriously looking for job only after my official graduation day on november...
i guest thats one of my biggest mistake.. i should just look for a job straight away after my internship.

i doing graphic design....it tough but once steady, it will be fine....

by the way, can you survive if no income for 6 months? or when no business...

if you scare or worry, then u better work for ppl....

I have tried job agency before....each time also end up talking to the agency staff only, never really get to see their so called client or our potential future employers.

My HR friend told me their company prefer the candidate applied direct instead of thru agent so that they don't have to pay 1 or 2 month salary for their services.

Nowaday, I hardly applied via agent...but recently applied one only find out that actually the same position also appeared in Job Street ....

Maybe they just pull out the job advertisement in Job Street and told the job seekers that this is their clients.

That just my experiences. Hope others can share more....

normally agency places ads without revealing the client's name.
based on my limited experience most often you will work for the agency (as a company contractor) instead of direct employment with the client.

Yes. They didn't tell me their client name.

The agency called me and thereafter send me an email telling me what they client is doing, the office's location, basic job requirement, and product ranges/ name.

I google search the product name and get to know the company name behind it.

You have to look for reputable agency like Kelly services etc....Others might be a scam

im interested. just that i dont have the skills.
as the moment i'm trying to open an on9 shop for selling dropship item.
i'm really into gaming and eager to learn more about computer and maybe forming something related to em in future. who know.
but yea, i need a secure monthly income first. thats why im looking for a job now.
any other business plan might come when i got the capitals to start with.
i do read a lot about property investment and it's been 1 of my aim now. at least i do learn something while im doing nothing at home rite.
i don't know. more or less i just hope 2014 would be a prosperous year for me to start with.

I had my internship from 2nd September till 28th December (yesterday). I'm a final semester degree students; MassCom; and i have a friend who works as a Career Counselor.
So he advise me to brush my resume and cover letters; he reviewed it and told me to send to all companies; whether they advertise or not vacancy, just send it.
He told me to send it on the end of 2nd month of internship which i did. Called for an interview in middle November and one week later got a job offer as a Public Relations Officer for a RM2300 start.
Not yet finish degree, not yet finish internship, result exam will be out in middle February 2014, graduation in May 2014; i already landed a job.
Will be reporting for duty in February as for January i have to finish my report and send it to my faculty.

I just attended 3 interviews and get 2 offers. I don know where is the statistic came from but seems it doesnt reflect to my field. Dude, peace n no worry. I believr market is getting well.
