IT took more than a year for 23-year-old Ridwan to finally secure a full-time job after completing his degree in virtual reality and 3D animation at a local university.

Ridwan, who only wishes to be known by one name, graduated last year and got an offer this week to work at a cafe in the Klang Valley. He says it is difficult to find employment as many companies are not hiring or are only interested in people with years of experience.
