Location?

Cheras

Care to enlighten me what kind of skill and emo intelligence that you claim can handle and dazzle that one staff?

if you can't convince me here, then you are the same as me.

I used to handle data and numbers kind of job, but seems that every hr just look at my recent job experience, not my old job experience.

I know Power BI, who says I old school system.
Health? my blood pressure is 110/75. I cycle 75km a week.
Attitude. Well I am doing a different role within my co with same pay.
Commitment? I have commitment. My kids still young.

I hope you drop fallacy about old staff mentality, not all of us are useless.

may i know how much asking salary?

I did not quit.

I was transferred to new department

I been with this company for 10 years.

looking back at my reply, i realize it might have come across harsher than i intended—my bad. i don’t see myself as better than you or anyone else. i’ve just been fortunate to work under someone who recognized my strengths and weaknesses, which allowed me to settle into a comfy role where i can be relatively productive with minimal interaction with the rest of the team.

I agree.

Usually we got trapped in 30s by getting ourselves into bank loans/buy house/etc but not knowing our jobs may not last into our 40s.

Banks / property agents are out there to persuade you to spend money one.

this reply is the reason why people don't hire 50+
baru tegur sikit2, already mau justify and say i am better because i know abit about modern tech.

I literally says at the end of my reply there, not all, but mostly are. And u tend to ignore that and continue to justify. No one says anyting about being useless. Its arrogance, and it shows here.

No one talked about old school. I am talking about adaptability to modern system. Knowing stuff and being able to adapt to it are totally different things.
Health is not just about blood pressure. And 75km per week is low, especially cycling. Cycling does not put much pressure on your knees. When u are old, a lot of disease lurked in without u knowing. When is the last time u did full medical checkup for 50 and above? Not just normal medical checkup, but special one for people above 50.
Attitude is not about doing different things or different role. Its about how u treat other, especially people who are younger than u. Its about how u swallow your pride, and being able to listen to younger people advise.

Your replies shows how u see younger people.

And since you have experience, why dont u do freelance? Since u are in accounting, I know a lot of companies looking for freelance to do their management account and audit account.

Can you elaborate your job scope and specialisation when you said you are an accountant

There is something I fail to understand coming from a 51 yo accredited person

51 is young in the UK. retirement age around 67/68

my colleague at 55 just got a new 20 year mortgage

If you open your option to work in sabah, plenty of vacancy for you as accountant.

Since you use LinkedIn alot, did you goreng (use a bit of fancy words) abit on your resume? What i meant is brush up your achievements. May let me know, I try to see how to help you with your resume.

hello there!
so, which type of "Accountant" are you


am guessing most likely the one with an ACCA or an equivalent
as to WHY potential employers did not take you on..

Is your current/expected remuneration/salary package within the current job market range?
Perhaps your current skillset doesn't match with the position you are applying for? OR you are unfamiliar with their accounting software, say from Autocount/SQL to SAP or vice-versa?
And do you specialize in a particular area of accounting, say Taxation? or some other thingamajiggy? Quite niche market if you do specialize in a particular field.

You seem quite adamant on seeking a job/getting hired (30apps, linkedin, jobstreet) - something entrepreneurial-ish is not on the cards for ya, eh?

Proven with 1 reply.

yes, try freelance...GL TS

No one would ever provide constructive opinion because TS has not quite straight go to the critical point of his difficulties.

two accountants cabut after few months and plenty of MC and no meeting dateline

my offer is stability and trouble free flow.

Most companies aren't really hiring these days. Many are downsizing and closing business.

If there's an opening, the only reason for the fill in is to clear the mess which no existing staff can handle or to replace a recent staff who just left.

So count your blessings that you still have a job and pray you won't be the next in layoffs.

It's going to be terrible in 2025 soon after CNY.

51yo and still under employment? You are among the luckiest. Most companies are not hiring anymore in your late 30s not just in Malaysia, S.Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and many countries.

I agree with you, these are what those old seafood attitude people dislike.
Can't afford to let ppl tegur a bit.

Should just be humble, learn on ur wording/speaking, accept people's compliment and then only explain. Not sikit sikit then defensive mode replies.
