Munna - you can check salary levels using this salary guide

Try initially to make good and very thoroughly documented applications to employers in Malaysia using professional headhunters or online job websites rather than an agent in India. Trustworthiness is always an issue.

The salaries are probably too low for an Employment Pass and you may have to work under a Foreign Worker visa. You can find out about this here

You need a job offer first. Next step is either a calling visa is issued. They then submit your passport for the Employment Pass to be entered.  What is important is that the company has permission to hire foreigners and have advertised the job and not got any local Malaysian candidates apply. Apply to large companies only.

Start out by trying online places such as Jobscentral.

Hi,
I'm currently working as Microsoft Dynamics CRM Technical consultant in Hyderabad in a reputed firm.
Recently got an offer in Malaysia in a small firm  they have offer 5K Ringgit including accommodation. Not sure how reliable is this job. Most of the jobs in Malaysia are contract basis and I have second thoughts on going to Malaysia. We can earn the same salary in India, any one who's living out there please let me know  how is the life in Malaysia does the organization take the passport of the employer whether it is good decision should I consider this offer, I have a good life going on here weather it is worth taking risk.

Sekhar537 - the salary to very low (accommodation worth max RM1k). Unless you have a clear idea how starting a new life from scratch in Malaysia will benefit you, best to stay were you are. Working overseas is not for everyone because it is quite stressful and can be lonely as well.

You must start from visa procedure

Gravitas

You will need a job offer to live in Malaysia. So apply for vacancies you find online.

I want to know about good companies in Malaysia in my line. When companies will hire me and get me avail of a visa . then i will be benefited  to go to Malaysia.pls. guide me

Just look at job adverts and apply for ones you have the qualifications. I don't think you can work as an electrician here though, the rules about local labour only apply. High tension cable jobs are the only type available in that line.

Not sure what you mean by computer operator?  If that's office work, then without local languages its difficult to get a job in an office.

Santosh Kumar Senapati

I want to be engaged any where else first . after i got experiance of speaking local language then i would try myself there to find a good job.So i want to know some of good companies from any line. whether it should be a Textile Industry or Jewellery shop or any thing like that. pls guide me.

Gravitas

As I said - go to one of the job sites and see what is available and apply. e.g. jobstreet, careerjet, etc.

Hello everyone,

I am a civil/structural engineer currently working in India and  have a total experience of 4.5 years. I will be moving to Malaysia in the beginning of 2016 and hence I am looking for a suitable job opportunity.
I have done some research on the job scenario for foreigners and I started applying through job portals like jobstreet, recruit.net etc.
It would be of great help if someone can provide further advice regarding job opportunities or can anyone refer/forward my resume for a suitable position.

Thanks!

Hi you can't work as a lawyer in Malaysia and getting any legal kind of work is almost impossible. Seen many a foreign lawyer at expat meetups and never seen one get a job except lecturing. That doesn't pay well but jobs are there.

Never come to Malaysia without work already arranged.

According to Tax system, they will deduct 26-28% for first six months. But if u continue living Malaysia Gov will return ur tax after deducting 11%. Ur Husband can reduce tax by showing 4 dependent. Buying own household equipment is better than paying for full furnished. Please check schools before u come to Malaysia, because international school are very expensive in Malaysia and u have 3 kids. Thanks

I am QA professional from India with over 9 years of experience. I have expertise in automation testing. Can anyone tell me the job market for automation testing in Malaysia. Also please guide me in finding job.
Thanks in advance.

A competitive selection process has to take place for a foreigner to be employed and the company applies for an Employment Pass at the Immigration office.

So searching for jobs at online portals is best route. Jobstreet, Jora, LinkedIn, Monster, Jobbatical, Spring Asia, etc. Consultant Robert Walters sometimes puts forward candidates.

As an Indian national you do need visa approval and a special single entry Visa with Reference (VDR) to report for work here. It's not possible to arrive on a tourist or e-visa

I am moving to Malaysia from India in September for higher education (MBA-International Buisness) in Malaysia. I have 3 years of work experience. Is there a possibility I can get a job in Malaysia. I want to gain some work experience there, but many people said it's not easy for a foreigner to get a job in Malaysia. I would be really gratified if you can help or guide me with this.
