Hello everybody,

*The ideal to find an offer of job in Malaysia is to look for from a distance (Internet..) or go there directly?

* What's about the Market of Beauty and cosmetics ( sales/management)? To find a job in general is it based on Diploma, experience or others skills?

* As muslim, is it easy to get the work permit, what's about the process and the duration in average?

Thank you for your kind help?

Hi always better to get a job before arriving in Malaysia but that means applying for expat jobs advertised overseas. Being Muslim doesn't mean anything unless you of Malay decent. Jobs are for over 27 + old (degree required) persons that being skills and abilities in short supply in Malaysia. new grads can sometimes get intern positions that pay "pocket money" but otherwise EP min salary is 5k. That isn't much!

You can try job street.com see if anything for you.
You can include all your job history if any/qualification/maybe no need to mention your religion as people they do not mention their faith in CV/and make sure if they are a real people to employ you.
Care-full for people promise job/asking up front money to employ you. Like real estate people they charge you money like training fees or payment for uniform but they do not even pay basic,you sale & you get commissions only.
Like everywhere else jobs here hard to find and salaries not much.
Good luck
