Hi, i have a friend who is an indonesian holding an IT degree and he is having difficulty finding jobs as he is not malaysian

is there any way he can do to try to get a job or better the situation?

please advise. thanks a lot =)

Even Malaysian is hard to get a job here, Indonesian can forget it unless he's really talented and there's a company that is willing to sponsor him for a work permit

agree with you
unless the indon is very good, otherwise dont think about it.

Try check low yat got any technician job? Most of them prefer malaysian thou. We hire Indons with an impression of cheap labour, but the work permit thing is very costly, if i can get some malaysian do the job save me lots of trouble.

If you think about working in company in any IT position, unless he is very good with experience, otherwise he could forget about it. We already have tons of UNEMPLOYED* IT graduates roaming the street.

ADD: In my hometown(TAWAU), the service centre of some reputable brand actually hiring indons as technicians last time(5 years ago), they are very regular indons thou. Just teach them how to install windows and can start work.

not worth the trouble... when u can already hire lots of local graduates + experience for peanuts.

maybe he/she can try luck in Singapore, there's a slim chance foreign fresh grad can find job in Malaysia due to our government policy. My Indonesian classmates go Singapore find jobs and some of them success as well.

system support in hewlett packard?

Yes, Singapore is easier to get a job for foreigner. The most important is the pay i 2X
