I think this is not an employers problem.

Look at it this way, our local universities, be it private or public are not on par with world standards, some are even set up to profit only. UM, USM, UKM, UTM are pretty decent. Nottingham, Monash, Sunway, are pretty decent. The rest are all basically degree mill in a way.

Coupled with overseas graduates who are competing with these local grads, of course there will be over supply.

Also, our economy is not exactly prosperous and attractive to FDI. So, the growth of high value jobs are slower. Most low value jobs are low paid.

Seems like any tom dick harry can enter uni now, especially private unis...and some public unis (UiTM). You cant increase high value jobs growth, but u can reduce supply of fresh graduates..

I have a friend, ACCA , 1st job only 2.5k ok. But in less than 3.5 years time , now basic more than 6k already exclusive allowance.
So it's ok to start low once u have experience , u can keep jumping. She jumped 3 companies in 3 years to almost triple her pay

I feel the main problem with grads nowadays is that they are not willing to learn. Once graduated expected to stop using brain.

I am in engineering/sales industry. Back then when don't understand anything first thing is surf Google/Wikipedia and tackle the problem like wiring a thesis white paper. Grad nowadays are content with just asking you for the solution and I was like dude... the info you need is right there in the catalog.. don't tell me you didn't read catalog before pitching sales?

We are a small semi-chinaman company willing to hire even freshies at a reasonable pay (none of the 2.2k or 3k nonsense) but comon la in the end business is about P&L. + is +, - is - no matter how you sugarcoat it.

So jobseekers, don't give up! Employers like us exists.

....I add one more to your advice.

Ensure the course you take is 'specialised' diploma/degree if you aim to work at PETRONAS, civil service or any government GLC etc. Check MQA for it. If your diploma is "general" diploma instead of 'specialised' diploma, you can kiss goodbye to those government based/linked job vacancy.

Otherwise, the only way to enter goverment sector is to get professional cert such as ACCA,MIA,CIMA or engineering board equivalent. ranting.gif

Two-thirds of employers in a survey said that graduates asked for unrealistic wages of between RM2,400 and RM3,000 a month.

I'm interested to know who wants to hire someone who only work 1 year ESPECIALLY in accounting industry.

Accounting industry looks heavily on years of experience. It is unlike those creative jobs where you somehow can excel without years of exposure. Accountants become valuable overtime because of the exposure overtime, it is not something you can learn overnight. Moreover, where you work is also important (i.e. Big 4) but I doubt your friend is working in big four if she changed 3 jobs in 3 years.

I highly doubt 3 years worth of experience (scattered experience some more) presumably not from big four could even have any sort of demand.

So either you friend is Bullshitting you or your friend rigged her resume.

Either really skilled, incredible luck or looks. Most prolly the latter if it's in the industry
