    Overall good for working maybe 1-2 years if youre a MyStep, recommend doing upskilling and self-learning during this time
    The good things- Flexible working time (can start enter office between 8-9am). - Can allocate up to 4 hours off-work time to do other tasks such as medical check-up, vehicle maintenance etc, but need to replace those hours at a later time. - Cafeteria nearby provide decently priced, catering style meals during breakfast and lunch, alongside bazaar selling assortment of other meals and wet-groceries (fruits, vegetables) every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. - Nearby mosques for Friday prayers - Encouraged to learn other tools than the usual in our own time for self-growth and upskilling - Sponsored meals, transports and accommodation when attending meetings and courses outside - Close to public transport so dependent on where your live, takes around 20-30min going to office, also cheap, RM1 per trip
    The challengesDisclaimer, working as a MyStep 41, so experiences may differ from other MyStep grade or contract/permanent workers; - Working condition will be dependent on which sectors/teams/projects youre assigned to, so you can either very busy doing work or very lax - Short allocated AL and SL (1 day AL for every 1 month of work, 8 days of SL), cant carry forward when renew contract - Yearly contract, may or may not be extended - Gross salary RM2100 for grade 41, which is the highest grade for a MyStep worker, no increase when contract renewed

    Stable working environment and consistent in payment.
    The good thingspublic sector is work-life balance as we are not encouraged to work beyond working hours,so that this allows us to spend time with our families. This also frees up our time to pursue other businesses, because a civil servant’s pay is often quite low that we need a second job to make ends meet.
    The challenges a public servant’s pay is low compared to the private sector market and we need to find part-time job to increase our income.

    Helps in doing survey for Banci Penduduk dan Perumahan Malaysia 2020 in Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM)
    The good thingsI gained a lot of experiences while working here as such as gaining confidence in meeting the respondents in rural area and also in town. I managed to receive a lot of praises from my colleagues that I did a great work in helping them. DOSM taught me to be more precise in handling my job as one of my jobscope is to search for a house for them to get their 'invitation code' for the respondents to log in into ecensus to answer the surveys.
    The challengesI sometimes could not handle some respondents which did not give cooperation while working. But, I always tried to find a solution on how to make the respondents trusted me.
