Hi All,

Recently, our company announced that they were going to outsource IT Department to other company.
Therefore, all of us have been retrenched. This made my job hunting activities started again.
I did apply quite number of jobs in Jobstreet. Had been for 1 interview so far and another one will be on next week.
Apart from that, I have also put some efforts by contacting job agencies, asking referral from friends etc

This morning, I contacted my friend and forwarded my resume to her. Unfortunately, I received a very bad feedback from her.
She said, most of the MNC in Penang ONLY hire Chinese for IT position.
Even though the HR personnel had recommended other races as candidate, the chance is ZERO!
Is this really happening in Penang? I was so frustrated after heard that from her. Why there is no equally treatment given for others?

On the other hand the MNC company I'm in in PJ is pushing for malay in engineering position.
The last 4 engineers hired are malay. When asked HR they say only malay applied. But the fact is others applied too.

Reason is I prefer a mix so that when comes festive season, some can work while some Balik kampung
