Please do not get the wrong impression that a CPL/IR gurantees you a flying job.

Sadly, it doesn't.

There are a lot of MAS cadets who didn't score straight A's. Some only have 1 A, some 2 A.

scoring a lot of A's doesn't mean one is fit to be a pilot.
(Advise : for those who did not pass it on the first try, keep trying. Many of the MAS cadets got in after 2nd or 3rd try)

For Self-Sponsorship route(those who pay rm250k and enter local flying school),

Once you have your CPL/IR, it doesn't gurantee you a job. you still have to apply for jobs, and compete against other candidates who also has CPL/IR.

so there's no gurantees.

There are many factors that can affect the chances of 1 getting a job.

1. TIMING - this is probably the most important factor.

When one graduates is really important. For example, airlines around the world is losing money right now. For those people who has or will graduate this year, it will be really difficult to get a job. No Demand = No Job.

2. Flying School Results

Having a good resume and results will probably earn you a place for Entry-Tests / Interviews. Doesn't gurantee a job, but increases your chances of getting one.

3. Aptitude / Personality

During interviews, the Interviewers will pressure each and every candidate(by all means - except physically la) while asking them questions related to aviation and personal life. AT THIS STAGE, the Interviewers will observe you while you're answering their questions(under immense pressure).
