Job-hunting is Fun
by
Ngeow Yoke Meng
This statement is true and only true when four premises are fulfilled Premise 1:
When there is strong growth in economy which creates job opportunities in
immense abundance and variety. Premise 2:
When the labor market is tight and the unemployment rate is low.
Premise 3:
When the job seeker has reasonable demand, achievable goal and a good personal
profile.
Premise 4:
When the job seeker is physically healthy, psychologically stable, free from
emotional tension and family problems.
Since premises 1 and 2 have been successfully fulfilled in the Malaysian
context, it is up to us to make this job-hunting process fun and entertaining.
To start a job search, please bear in that:
-
Job-hunting requires persistence and constant efforts, qualities which we find
difficult to have.
-
Job expectations should be realistic enough so that chances of meeting them are
relatively high.
-
Job seekers should have a positive attitude about themselves, the society and
the country.
Be optimistic about chances of getting a better job. It is possible that
somehow, somewhere in Malaysia someone needs you badly to work for him. So stay
alert for new opportunities and never let them pass you by with no avail.
Job-hunting is a process full of pressure, and pleasure - depending on how you
look at it.
