Hi as I always say never move to Malaysia looking for a job. Best you cut your losses as you are in an area that is normally a local job. Foreigners are employed in communication but always as either an expert brought on by big companies like Carlsberg or are married to a Malaysian. There are fields in which expats are in demand and a job is possible after arrival (but often on a lower salary)but marketing is hardly one of them. You have to be worth more than the 5k min salary and unless you have some outstanding experience chances are minimal.

Try the UAE where jobs are far easier to get. Or even Singapore although they have gone all anti immigrant recently due to local unemployment.

Totally agree with you Nemodot. I have tried Singapore, but there are few visa issues which the consultants has got back  to me. They are suggesting to apply for some kind of visa which will help searching for job ( Not sure of that, need to research a little ).

Do you know any consulting agencies which you can suggest or have experienced?( just asking, incase if you know).

Thanks a ton,

Afzal

I am quite surprised reading @Nemodot's response about job prospect for expats in Malaysia. Is it really that gloomy?

@mhd.afzal, I suggest you take up @Joe Writeson's offer - I am in the Oil and Gas business, and I know for a fact that the PR folks are a cool bunch.

Hey Modjo

Been here from past 2 weeks now, i some what started believing Nemodots comments now. I have been to interview's and the only reason i got, for not getting selected is that i don't have malasyian nationality. I also came across an incident that it was asked to work for very less ( i mean very very less ) for few months, (don't know what that means). I am not saying that's wrong, but surely that's an advantage taken.

Let me know if you can refer me here or UAE also will work out.

Thanks,
Afzal

Me and dropbox have a not very good relationship....I hate it it hates me...email me at joewritesonasia@gmail.com I'll send it to you..

Good Luck

Hi @mhd.afzal, it dawned on me that I have very little understanding about job prospects for expats in Malaysia - maybe because I've just started to work abroad a few months back myself.

I think it's based on industry demand versus the supply they can get locally (armies of eager fresh grads!), exactly like what @Nemodot said earlier. Having traveled a lot working abroad yourself @Nemodot, which line of work do you see most commonly employ expats in Malaysia?
