I am a Pakistani living in KL for about an year now. I have been seeking for jobs for quite sometime now but unable to find one. I was hoping if anyone could direct me as to how can i apply for jobs here in KL. I did my majors in Economics and Finance and i have done one internship and few free lance work. I don't have enough experience but i can assure that i am really dedicated and hardworking when it comes to professionalism. I am seeking for any job related to finance, management, PR, Admin or anything that is related to my field. If there is something off my field i will consider it too.
Please help me find a job and if further you want to know about me please don't hesitate to inbox me here.
Thanking you
Regards,
Hareem

Hi,
I'm currently working for Symphony, it's quite big company doing outsource. As i heard from my HR, they're in need of quite a number of foreigner speaker, you can try to check on that. Go jobstreet and search for Symphony 
It might not related to your major, but it worth a try!!

Hi sorry to hear of your lng struggle. However, to find work legally in Malaysia you generally need to be over 27 and have skills and experience Malaysians don't have. From what you wrote/profile you are 24 and have no real experience or skills.There are loads of graduates in Malaysia in Finance/accounting etc. Jobs you could go for are basically lower level "executive" (in Malaysia that means admin) jobs that you will never get a work permit for.
The only chance you could have is if a Pakistani company needs someone fluent in Urdu plus say English. Companies can then get WPs based on language skills (obviously speaking Malay is an advantage). The age barrier is still a problem but some companies get round them (guess how - but that pushes up your cost of employment) and some areas like ICT have lower age limits like 22 for Cyberjaya ICT jobs. Embassies also have more flexibility - you could try yours?
Good luck

Unfortunately .NOT does not cover much of the domains now (not much work on the web or mobile development as compared to some others like PHP or Java). But good news is that now you can use it (in combination of other tools) for iPhone development. Having experience in iPhone or Android development is a big advantage now. Get expertise in iPhone development using .NET. I will suggest you to also learning Objective C, it will not be difficult for you as you already know .NET.

yes, i do agree with you. Rise of iOS and Android has made a lots of demand for those who knows java,objective c and javascript. but as of now i'm not really intends to follow it since i have still a lot of catchup to do in .NET itself. thats one problem with .NET. if we dont follow it for a while, then its going to take months to catch up with the new technology.microsoft has now introduced ASP.NET MVC,i dont know what will happen to ASP.NET, may b will endup like the classic ASP. although still i prefer .NET path.
a new interview is coming up for me next week, i hope it goes well...)
