In need of a job ?

Hi,

I'm currently working for Symphony, it's quite big company doing outsource. As i heard from my HR, they're in need of quite a number of foreigner speaker, you can try to check on that. Go jobstreet and search for Symphony

It might not related to your major, but it worth a try!!

oh that would be great. t thanks a lot for your help.

Hi sorry to hear of your lng struggle. However, to find work legally in Malaysia you generally need to be over 27 and have skills and experience Malaysians don't have. From what you wrote/profile you are 24 and have no real experience or skills.There are loads of graduates in Malaysia in Finance/accounting etc. Jobs you could go for are basically lower level "executive" (in Malaysia that means admin) jobs that you will never get a work permit for.

The only chance you could have is if a Pakistani company needs someone fluent in Urdu plus say English. Companies can then get WPs based on language skills (obviously speaking Malay is an advantage). The age barrier is still a problem but some companies get round them (guess how - but that pushes up your cost of employment) and some areas like ICT have lower age limits like 22 for Cyberjaya ICT jobs. Embassies also have more flexibility - you could try yours?

Good luck

thanks a lot for the help... il surely look in to it

I agree with Nemodot, but giving a try wont harm you, right? Just find your luck reemz, there are a lot of available jobs here in KL. good luck.

Unfortunately .NOT does not cover much of the domains now (not much work on the web or mobile development as compared to some others like PHP or Java). But good news is that now you can use it (in combination of other tools) for iPhone development. Having experience in iPhone or Android development is a big advantage now. Get expertise in iPhone development using .NET. I will suggest you to also learning Objective C, it will not be difficult for you as you already know .NET.

one suggestion: read this, maybe you are knocking on the wrong door.

yes, i do agree with you. Rise of iOS and Android has made a lots of demand for those who knows java,objective c and javascript. but as of now i'm not really intends  to follow it since i have still a lot of catchup to do in .NET itself. thats one problem with .NET. if we dont follow it for a while, then its going to take months to catch up with the new technology.microsoft has now introduced ASP.NET MVC,i dont know what will happen to ASP.NET, may b will endup like the classic ASP. although still i prefer .NET path.

a new interview is coming up for me next week, i hope it goes well...)
