ok, am fresh grad student from Inti College with B.Sc(Hons) in Comp. Science (2nd lower class)
not that kind of expert in programming, just an intermediate user for ASP.Net, VB.Net, VB, MS SQL... C++, Java still on beginner level (or maybe better a lil' bit)

got B from my FYP with a human resource software which is Staff Appraisal System(which actually just the purpose of storing data and generate reports for individual)

working experience? been work in starhill's boutique shop b4 for part timer and work for game marshal @ Electronic Sport World Cup event.

and my english not that kind of good, just so so, can talk and write, i give myself 4.5/10 for it

what kind of job or company do u think that i'm suitable in? =\
technical support?
customer support?
programmer?
or any other?

just too boring and nbtd plus desperate for a job which can help me to pay my car loan and so so life style =\

Ask yourself, what is your interest? Helping people? Building program? Working on a networking project? Taking care of networks/systems?

Answering that lead you the next step of answering your question...

helping ppl of coz come into the 1st place
taking care of system 2nd place

just start to get bored of programming world =\

i'd recommend you do support
your description is very common and support is the way to go

Hey we're the same! Well almost. I also got a degree in comp science (2nd lower class). Majoring in C++, Java, SQL, blah blah. Graduated in January 2005. The thing is....I hate programming. Should have switched to a multimedia school halfway but I continued anyway.
I've worked as a sales administrator for five months and I just resigned as a customer care consultant from Maxis a few weeks ago. So long haven't done programming stuffs, now I already forgot everything. lol.
Since you say your english isn't that good then you're probably better off working as something that does not require you to talk much. Such as a programmer.


Since you're looking for a job then you should check out the career fair which will be held in Midvalley for three days.

i do finding job, almost got the job scam once, that what JAG group =\

I'm still jobless now after about a month I completed my studies.

I'm usually stucked when they asked me technical questions.

Maybe try to go for those companies that provide training for fresh grad

keep looking , keep looking, and keep looking.
look left, look right, look up, but dont look down and dont look back.

Ahhhhh, another IT grads got stucked.

Bad result, non relavent experience, not confident in talking(esp english), intermediate or forgot about programming, only know how to fix computer...

Just like me, i even got a 3rd class degree.

More then a year ago, I tell myself must appreciate this job i got coz many people out there dont even have a job. Now, I am thinking about getting out of the industry. How irony.

just keep sending ur resume to them although they didn't state "Freshgruade are encourage to apply", they will call u go for interview
but plz make sure u well prepared b4 go there bcoz u need to know more compare wif those experience people..

hey guys, are u from JB? my company now looking for a Remote Network Enginner at JB, fresh guaduate are welcome to apply, PM if interested. I from INTI COLLEGE MALAYSia also.. hehe nice to meet u

not from JB, too far away from my hometown and kl =\

dunn be too sad bro. i from INTI as well.
i got first class degree from network computing (BCN) with CCNA also jobless now.
but my frens with lower, third and general degree all start working already. it depends on wat firm u apply. some company looking for quality, some looking for quantity.

1.5k as system admin (my fren third class) 1.5k as vb programmer (my fren 2nd lower) 2.2k as software engineer (my fren 2nd upper), 2.5k from Dell (my fren 2nd upper) and finally 1.2k as a technical support (my fren general degree)

as u can see, result is not the main point. u must hv confident with urself, well prepared for the interview. Most questions are very standard.

try apply for small company instead of well known firm. Most firms looking for positive attitutes candidates. so u can sell ur personality intead of ur technical skills and hope they are willing to provide u on the job training. try this www.ablenet.com.my

if still jobless, go for certificate training, will boost ur chance to get employed.

finally good luck for u and c u in the graduation ceremony.

*i talk so much but still jobless... sien!

most ppl in this forum said, dunn be too choosy as a fresh graduate, dunn expect high salary, do watever task assigned by ur boss and so on.

i hv to said from a fresh graduate perspective, we are not dumb worker. we need a job for experience but it doesnt means we hv no right to choose what we want to do! and it doesnt mean we can accept any salary due to we r jobless currently.
i found that many local firms try to buli us (fresh graduate). pay us as low as possible and need us to work as hard as a cow.

for programming graduates, can we gain hands on experience working as IT help desk? for networking graudate, can we gain hands on experience as a IT sales executive? for me, hands on experience and working experience is different!

of course, all is IT but hv different major. so find a job relate to ur strength and interested, build ur career path. it does take time but it worth rather than u simply pick up a job and lost ur direction after tat. job and career is different for me!

anyway, dont give up! fresh graduate can be choosy!

i though you are going for the SRD?

owh, thanks for the advise!

erm... mostly ppl gradute from comp sc. will start thier career in IT either from programmer or helpdesk. Else they will go for Sales & marketing....

In my opinion, login to jobstreet-->search 'JOBs' that u think ur 'suitable' prefer like and u think u can do that task as describe ---> apply the job.

employer call u for interview --- go interview and wait for result (repeat this process if ur unsuccessful).

No point wanting a hardware/software position or think whether ur suitable for which position if their job description u cannot do.
