It is never an easy task to find jobs. It is a competitive world and you just have to outclass the rest. Having being a job seeker myself, I find that it’s important to compile a to-do list when you are on a mission to find a job. Although it’s written based on Malaysia, the same concept applies to any part of the world.

Here are a few simple items you should take note when seeking for jobs:

Search in Jobs directory. It is the place where career and human resources links are provided to you for your convenience. You could either apply directly via the sites or you could contact the HR departments of the hiring companies. There are a few famous Malaysia job directories which you could count on such as Jobstreet, JobsDB Malaysia, Jen Jobs and Malaysia Central. You can search more in Google for terms such as Malaysia jobs directories, Job websites in Malaysia.

On the other hand, if you are interested to work with the Malaysian Government, they too have a portal specially for vacancies in the government sector. It is actually very simple to search for a job in the Government sector. Just google for “vacancies in Malaysia government”.

Next on the list will be recruitment agencies. Some job seekers do not really favour recruitment agencies because they need to pay a fee to the agents. Sometimes it is a one-time flat fee and there are times where it is based on a sliding scale on the length of time the employee is attached to the hiring company. However, out out desperation, job seekers still end up opting to this choice. Some of the well-known recruitment agencies in Malaysia are Adecco Asia, ManPower Staffing, Kelly Services, JAC recruitment and PM Resources.

If you are an independent person and you believe that you would want to try all this yourself, then the best solution is to manually find the job yourself. How? Well, you could physically go to the companies and submit your applications to the Human Resources Department (but it is not very practical nowadays as you are rarely allowed to simply enter a company without any appointments).

Hence, electronic mail (e-mail) is your best chance. Just visit the company websites and go to “contact us” section. Usually they have career or hr emails listed on their websites. Remember to produce a presentable resume and email it to them. Wait for the good news! The rule of thumb is send A LOT of applications daily. Send at least 50-70 applications daily.

Last but not least, a conventional way of searching for jobs is still worth the try. A lot of companies STILL advertise job vacancies on the newspaper. If you are actively in need of jobs, purchase newspapers every day and dive into the jobs or classified sections.

First myth is that data entry job is not a networking system. The payment you acquired is not based on the number of people you recruit for the said job.

Some countries even hire service providers like in India, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia and other neighboring countries to do some of the overflowing jobs in their country.

Be cautious in every program you want to join before making a decision.

Some myths also tell us that data entry job earnings are not limited. Well, that it absolutely true. There are some ads in the internet telling you that it is possible to earn more than $300 an hour daily. Do not be fooled by these ads, this is an example of myth. Your income will depend on your finished work that is why your income is not fixed. It could be higher this month but it could be lower the following month. It depends on your performance and capabilities. This work will ask for your hard work and dedication in order to be well compensated every payment for the effort you show. You could make sufficient amount of money with lesser stress because you will be working at home.
