There are a lot of jobs in the market, really. Recently I had a chance to flip through the recruitment pages of a major English newspaper in Singapore and, man, there were hundreds of jobs on offer.
Finance executive, finance manager, senior manager, human resource manager, analyst, business development manager, engineer, data management... the list is endless. I believe the situation is the same in Malaysia, yet I read in the news that there were some 60,000 university graduates who are unemployed.
There has been a prolonged debate as to why these graduates are unemployed when at the same time hundreds of openings in the private sector are practically screaming to be filled up, and I'm not talking about low-paying jobs which these graduates were supposedly "over-qualified".
Some argue that these university graduates, or leavers, were unable to find jobs because they were simply unemployable due to severe lack of skills and talent and knowledge, abetted by another fatal weakness -- a very, very poor command of English language, something far far worse than the way this blog is written.
