30 applications in 1 month is weak. Equal to 1 application per day.

When i was hunting jobs i applied 50 times per day. I remembered coz 50 applications is the limit set by jobstreet on how much can you apply per day.

You need to increase your efforst.

I was going to say that. Last time I oso 1 day easily 30 and above.

Or is he asking too high salary oso? Lol

if u willing to consider software development, could find a job pretty easy.

Recruiters are endlessly looking for people in this area

Ps: lots of people starts in IT as programmer. Then after 1-2 years u can pivot to other IT roles.

TS probably not pro in any programming languages, that's why only apply for IT support/admin jobs

Those that you see freshies getting 3k+ are on the programming side. IT support/admin pls ask 2.6k instead. Employer's market now.

And pls apply for small companies (not MNC) for higher chance to be employed.

Erm what do u understand by the meaning of IT support btw?
Support for what? Server? Cloud? 365? Web hosting? Those who r in support likee I mentioned above must hv a high technical skills in linux (centos, debian, ubuntu) win server up to v2019. Got cert can demand a bit.

My advice is if TS like to do support (consider shift) look for IT company, for sure u can learn alot.

About the gaji you can earn up to 3.3k-3.5k for freshgrad
If u are aiming for 2.8 sure can but during the negotiation the hiring manager will ask u once again and they might give u a new range according to their company's norm. It should be based on ur qualification, previous salary(kalau ada). Dah tambah allowance semua tu u boleh dpt 3.3-3.5k/month

But if TS like to do this jobscope 'provide support across the company' 2-2.5k lah kot.tambah lagi kalau IT equipment xbrp nak canggih. Many small company they wanna hire IT people but they still don't care about ur degree or wht so ever, your payment will still be 2k-2.2k(mostly) but many people just accept the job because they hv no choice aka terpaksa. If they can offer u 2.5k is consider ok.

Send je cv banyak2 ke beberapa companies (kecik/besar). U just graduated on August, 2019? Lol... Still early to say why so hard cari kerja. I didn't get any IT professional job for 6 months ya after graduated. I did part time sambil2 cari kerja. I went for interview for 8 times at that moment only 2 companies accepted me. Nothing is easy in this world. Do not give up easily.

U cakap u pandai linux kan try exabyte / serverfreak

Good luck

I am a fresh graduate computer science student who recently has just completed my studies during august. I have applied almost 30 companies on websites such as linkedin, glassdoor and jobstreet.
But so far almost more than 1 month only two of the companies did call me up for an interview but still got rejected in the end. The job i have applied are more towards IT support and administration
such as linux and windows as I have some knowledge towards it.

Company 1:
I did manage to answer most of the technical questions given by them during the interview and told me that will arrange for 2nd interview with the executive director.
After two weeks up to now still no news.

Company 2:
Call me up for phone interview yesterday, ask me some technical questions also told me will arrange for an interview today but suddenly got rejected this morning told me that there are a
change of job requirements and they are not hiring anymore.

Is it really normal for a fresh graduate to find it hard in securing for a job these days? As my expected starting salary is only RM2800 and its not even considered very high lol

There are many people that can do IT support, not just people that come from IT background. That's how easy the field is.

You have to distinguish yourself somehow.

Learn Powershell, learn security stuffs, get cert, etc. Or better yet: learn another language.

Japanese, Korean IT support is in high demand.

Obviously you'd be competing with Japanese, Korean univ's grad, but they are quite small in number.

My thought when he said IT support/admin are those who help troubleshoot if any employees got trouble with their pc/laptop/video calls, raise access for new employees, setup work emails, answer technical-related enquiries, etc.

This job only deserve 2.6k for freshies
