“If you are not choosy, you have the right attitude to succeed in life, you can go anywhere.” Norashikin said it was a ‘crime’ not to get a job in Malaysia because the opportunities were there. In reality, we get scolded everyday,” Norashikin pointed out. “They want easy job with high salary, they cannot stand being scolded, they do not want to stay back or work on Saturday and Sunday, they want a nine-to-five job. When asked about the response of participating companies in Labuan, Norashikin said many job seekers were choosy. “If they (successful applicants) are not brave enough, they either run away or find another company (to work for).”Ī similar open interview session by SL1M was also held in Labuan last week. She said one of the participating companies, Aegis, was issuing offer letters and plane tickets yesterday for successful applicants in order for them to start work on Tuesday. Having said that, Norashikin pointed out that there was equal number of graduates who was willing and unwilling to work in Kuala Lumpur. “When we invite Sabahans to Kuala Lumpur (to work), they are reluctant to do so.” Norashikin said she did not mind bringing in Kuala Lumpur companies for another open interview session in Kota Kinabalu, but Sabahan students must be willing to work in Kuala Lumpur. SL1M is a programme whereby companies and industry players carry out their corporate social responsibility (CSR) by training and enhancing the employability of Malaysian graduates, especially those from rural areas and low income families.Īround 1,000 young people from all over Sabah turned up for the open interview session as they vied for the 600 management trainee and full-time positions offered by 10 participating companies yesterday. “Maybe there are not so many companies (in Sabah), but there are too many graduates too many supply, less demand,” she said in an interview during the SL1M open interview session for Sabahans at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) here yesterday. She opined that the reason for unemployed young people in Sabah was because they lacked job opportunity. Meanwhile, Yakub said despite Sabah is offering fewer job opportunities, its agriculture industry offers a lot of opportunities, but the locals have a mindset that these jobs are “dirty” and tough.KOTA KINABALU: Sabahans are at times reluctant to work in Kuala Lumpur when job opportunities arise, said 1Malaysia Training Scheme (SL1M) head of secretariat Hajah Norashikin Datuk Hj Ismail. “I am sure that the employers at the Perdana Career Carnival will provide accommodation and transportation needed for you to work,” he said. That is why I ask for our jobseekers here not to be choosy,” Yakub said this at a press conference after launching the Sandakan’s Perdana Career Carnival in the Sandakan Community Hall, reported The Vibes.Įarlier in his speech, Yakub urged jobseekers in Sabah to open up to working in the peninsula.
“It is clear that the peninsula offers more job opportunities. He said this is due to the insufficient desired job opportunities in the state available to them based on their qualifications as compared to the peninsula.
Sabah Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Yakub Khan has urged job seekers in Sabah not to be picky when choosing a job and grab whatever opportunity that is available.
