JOB VACANCIES AT MALAYSIA 2018






Where to look for a job
It is very common to search for jobs on the internet and there are plenty of such sites available for the Malaysian job market. The Malaysia Jobs Directory offers an overview of the most common Malaysian job hunting websites. This is especially useful and convenient if you start your job hunting already in your home country. In this way you can already get an overview of the job market and see what branch offers the best options. What is more, you can upload your CV on most of the pages and make companies search for you instead.

If you are already in Malaysia, have a look into the classifieds of the main regional or national newspapers. Two of those, which are available in English and also online, are the New Straits Times and The Star.




Another, yet very efficient method, is to send out speculative applications. This shows the employer that you are really interested to work in their company and have not just randomly stumbled across their advertisement. Furthermore, a speculative application displays self-confidence and the conviction of being the right person for the company. A very common and also promising job for native English speakers, is to teach English – either in a school or through private lessons. There is an increased demand in this field, as many schools are introducing subjects which are taught in English. You should definitely be able to find something in this sector, however, be aware that it is not a very easy job to do. If you want to find a job before coming to Malaysia check the TEFL site for further information. This question repeatedly crops up every few other weeks, and there has been much written about the difficulties for expats looking for opportunities through the various mediums, and opportunities readily open for expats. I have consolidated by responses in this thread:




Many expats do not realise the way the Malaysian Labour and Employment industry works, and therefore many of the facilities, infrastructure and agencies are geared to very specific requirements. Unlike in Europe, North America, South and Latin America, Middle East and probably rest of the world, Malaysia has not opened up its borders whole heartedly to expats (and to an extent foreign labour) to work here. To sum up, websites here do not cater to expats, because the vast majority businesses here are not catered to such a pool of talent, because they either have sufficient or acceptable pool of human resources.
 However, you will see in the next 3 years, 


these trends changing. But keep in mind the following facts: Malaysia is the 14th largest trading nation and has been in the top 20 for many decades. It does not need expats just to get ahead. What you see on the ground is not a fair reflection of what you do not and is actually done. Malaysia's economic power houses are not based all in KL. Penang, Terengganu, Malacca, Johor, Perak are major hubs/states outside KL/Selangor.

 I find a couple of those comments sweepingly misleading: searching for a job is one thing, searching for an opportunity is another.
