A little courtesy for job seekers, please


APPROXIMATELY half a million individuals in Malaysia find themselves without employment. While some may have chosen this status voluntarily, it’s undeniable that those actively seeking employment also face stigma, being labelled as picky or lazy. It’s ironic that amid claims of businesses struggling to attract workers, job seekers are met with such criticism.

As someone currently seeking other employment opportunities, I can attest to the stigma and challenges. Despite diligently applying for work through well-known online platforms, I’ve received minimal response, if any. Instead, the emails I receive are typically notifications that the positions I applied for have been filled.
