I'm a fresh graduate with a degree of Computer & Communication Engineering from local U. My CGPA is 2nd upper class.

I'd spend 2 months to find a telecommunication related job, but it seems too hard for me.

Do I need to continue search for this kind of job? Or, i better start search others job (Engineering Job in Penang)? It looks liked Bayan Lepas is hiring many fresh graduate...

Pls give me ur wise advice, I'm really appreciate that...

Looking for jobs nowadays is not that easy, i suggest you get to work where you have the chance and while working you can still look for jobs that suits you. You won't be wasting time...

But, if my 1st job is about manufacturing, can i get the chance to step into telecommunication related job after 1 or 2 years?

If I were you, look for any jobs that is related to what you studied. I have a friend who graduated as Electronic Engineer (semiconductor) working in a electrical engineering firm (deals with power stationg, switchgear etc.)

Don't worry too much because you're not alone

Find any other related job you can find.

Most people didn't find the job that they major in.

The most important is salary and job satisfaction.

good question.. as u know i alr step into semicon industry..
and seriously wat i feel is it's hard to switch field after u start working..
so u better think twice b4 u join a industry.
goodluck boy..see u in convo la~

it is hard for you to switch field/industry after few years, so try to find the related job.

it depends. i was working in banking line for 2.5 years. then switched to credit card biz for 5years. now i just got myself into IT helpdesk onli. it depends on the fact that whether u wanna learn or not. and btw, i'm a Biz Admin grad.

but for engineering, i think is quite hard to do so..
bcoz while u r a fresh grad..ppl will still hire u if u have limited related technical skills/knowledge..bcoz u r fresh grad, bunch of training will be provided to u!

after u had been work for sometime, ppl hire u as a "experienced employee"..
they expect u must have strong related techinical skills/knowledge in order to join them.

so better start with what u reli wan.. otherwise...hahaha~~

anyway, it's onli my personal point of view...

Try others field first while looking for the job that related to your studies. You might find out that the current job may suit you more than then the one that you are searching. Who knows?

that's what i worry about. but, what can i do? until now i still can't get a telecomm related job.
my fren always persuade me go to penang and he always said i'm stubborn and lazy to work...

Stevie-g.. you r not alone.. I quite same as ur case...

Just tat its really depend on ur opinion n wat u really want...

If you really want to work in Telco industry as wat u studied, only KL has these opportunities..

Where as if u start working in different fill as jojoko1982 mentioned, it will be hard for you to change field as while u were working you u forget those u hv learnt in University very fast..

Cheers...

nice to meet u, optimusteoh!
so, u r jojoko1982's friend, right?
what industry r u involve currently?

Nice to meet u too..
Yaya.. im jojoko fren..

Anyway.. pm u oredi..

Try dont let go any opportunity, try every possible job you can find. My friend who also a 2nd class upper with IT degree, ever since she refuse to take her first job offer, and she has been jobless for whole year, now she went to UK work as a waitress, sort of seeing the outside world.

Waitress? Like that wasted already eh?

yalo..engineer wo..go UK work as waitress?
is she too choosy?

She is engineer?Omg..now u all make me worry about Network and Communication career path? ...Later end up as technician pulak ..How bout Business Admin
