anyone tried Linked ?

I notice jobstreet pretty bad, not much new jobs.

A fair bit of my friends been headhunted by Linkedin,  i notice those who get hired from linkedin is mostly headhunted and highly qualified.

One of my friend just change job, then another big bank called him though he decline initially cz he just masuk new job they still persuaded him to consider in the end he agreed to go for their interviews and the offer him .

If your reputation is good linkedin can be your friend. Jobstreet a lot of good potential freshie dun get a  chance cz the HR may have their bias so thats the issue.

I agree to an extent. LinkedIn MY seems to be very quiet when it comes to self-submit job applications. You submit a job application on LinkedIn Malaysia you get 0 replies and views.
Whereas when I was abroad in England, recruiters are more active and responsive. They willget you for an interview, put on KIV, or tell you no outright. Sometimes they may even call me up and give constructive criticisms on what to do on my application. I don't any of these on Malaysia LinkedIn.

Recruiters and HR are human too, if part of their job is done for them then it makes their life easier and your chances of getting the job better.

How do you make their lives easier?
1. get referred by someone the recruiters already know and trust. Easier said than done of course but this basically means your referrer is doing the first round filtering for the recruiter.

2. build a good brand. LinkedIn is probably one of the better options out there, build a good profile, write posts, comment intelligently. When the recruiter does a search on your profile they can see what you've done in addition to your profile/CV so they don't have to do more work.

3. customize your CV to the job descriptions. Instead of letting the recruiter do the work to link what you did to the job requirements themselves, do that work for them in your customized CV and/or cover letter.

I've done all of the above and in reality looking for a job itself can be a full time job. Even if you're happy in your job you shouldn't stop networking (to enhance #1) and contributing on LinkedIn.

All the best.

Our Msia HR really hopeless.

The only ppl only bothered about ur linked are from recruiters.
