result is everything

good luck !!! don't give up

Procurement?

biasa lah times like this
dont be discouraged =p

good result is just a method for companies to shortlist candidates only loh for the interview, experience i believe its most important one..

for your case, u should take some other professional certificate to support your 3rd class result

Accounting 3rd class, who is gonna let you count???

What r u thinking TS??

education background not matching profession needs

Go get a sales job 1st b4 attempt for marketing.

BTW account ppl tend to spend more time in cubicle aka office desk while marketing to deal alot of social matter (human interaction).

AND the most important......

HOW much u state in the requested salary column?

Your degree result plays an important role when you are a freshie. Just imagine, if 2 people applies for only 1 vacancy in the company, one with first class and one with 3rd class, you as a boss, who will you call for interview??? I know is sad but this is reality.

But do not give up. I think you have to continue sending out your resume until some companies call you for interview. Times are bad now. You are actually competing with those experienced people who are also finding jobs due to retrenchment.

I suggest that meanwhile looking for a job, you can enroll in some professional courses like ACCA, CPA to increase your market value and qualification.

Just ask rm1K salary for rm2k salary job.
For sure many companies will hire u.

but a good resume also very important, i look at many fresh grad resume does not really have anything interesting about it, talk about your final year project, internship experience or part time work experience, this all add to your appeal.

eerrr ... depend ... if you too cheap, the company will suspect 1 ...

I think its true that result is important to a fresh grad....
at least some com even they want to hire also will try to give low pay,

When times are bad go for jobs below your qualification. You should have better chance at jobs requiring diplomas or certificates or Form 6, rather than compete with other graduates.

Of course having good result is important...especially fresh grad... if not, why need to study so hard? The best way for u to secure a job is to accept lower pay than usual. Otherwise, no reason for the employer hire you.

for some fields, academic result is important. for sales/marketing, attitude & people skills r more important.

And I wonder who would really go into the topic listed to read the comments there

4 applications and you're worried u cant get a job?

please set ur expectations right.



well usually about 10 - 30 should be orait



i do.

You're right. Good result will give good impression during resume screening. Working experience still come first later.

Still can get a job de, juz dun put too high for ur expected salary...n perform well in the interview. Must confident in urself....

Ya, still can get job. I got friends become cikgu also.

Dont worry. few of my friends who are barely passed above CGPA 2.0 also manage to get job with good pay. its just the matter of ur luck and skill. Don't be choosy about the job, accept any reasonable offer and build up ur experiences and skill.

Last time my 1st job was from jobstreet...
