why is it so hard to find a job in a place which has millions of opportunities ?

I am from India and currently living in KL as my husband is working here.I am looking to support my husband and it seems to be so hard to get job. I do have experience in customer service, human resources front end/ back end , transition, sales etc.

Can anyone help me out?

HR is a profession for local Malaysians rather like banking.

Yes, as a general rule the only professions available for expats are ones that they're no local candidates for - by law. It's going to be hard to find an employer will or is able to get a work permit with your background. Probably not impossible, but very difficult.

They prefer local here, unless you have a good experience or skill.
