Maznah: 70,000 graduates jobless due to lack of job hunting skills

KUALA LUMPUR: About 76,200 graduates are still unemployed because they do not possess job hunting skills and are too dependent on others to convey information about job opportunities.

Deputy Human Resource Minister Datuk Maznah Mazlan said based on a study by the Labour Department which was done through the JobStreet Malaysia website on 1,994 respondents, 77.14 percent said they needed a mentor or coach to facilitate them on ways to find jobs.
