While I sympathize with you but you have to recognize these facts:

1. Tens of thousands of fresh graduates every year.
2. Thousands of graduates unemployed / underemployed / misemployed (e.g. Grab)
3. Not enough proper jobs
4. Country in middle of economic downturn.

Its the employers market now. 

Every year I have a few hundred fresh grad applicants. 

I wish I can hire all but I cant.

Some of them even beg me for an internship, with allowance as low as 400, as long as they don't have to sell nasilemak or remain unemployed.

I'm not saying you can't ask for RM2,800. 

You can continue to try, no harm.  Good luck!

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.

Sy minta gaji 800 back in 2000 pn tara ada org mau.. Background comp sc. Last2 dpt kerja jd tutor computer.. Gj 600 😆

Bro 2.8k is not realistic. 1.8k is more in line with employers

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

what ar u? a degree? If fresh degree, if u go fr it support, Ur salary is to high bc u dont hve any experience. To get 2800 need at least 1y exp.

Im also a comp science holder. Yah its tough. My starting salary was 800 cash doing IT technician. After that, it getting better and better.

They want u to have some exp in IT first. Go find IT shop n try ur luck there.

It take me 3y exp in network, programming and troubleshooting to get the 2800 salary for degree holder in IT exec position.

From IT technician > Junior Network Eng > Software Eng > IT Exec. Of coz different company la. Lompat2.

After that, go to singapore. Use ur deg n exp. 2200$ monthly is ur for IT support.

Best of luck.

Well i was a technician also before that and was working for more than one year and my salary is only 1200
