Hi guys,
Does anybody know any industry in Malaysia currently in search of hiring foreigners with a degree?
I grew up in Malaysia for a period of ten years under a student visa and flew to Australia to undertake a bachelor degree in business immediately after graduation. I also applied for a temporary residence visa in Australia for a period of 18 months as my work with a former employer was ongoing. I have recently relocated back to Malaysia to be closer to my family and have been struggling to find job opportunities in the area of my studies - Economics and Finance.
I have been submitting applications - resume and cover letter - here and there and have not gotten a call for interviews yet. I'm beginning to suspect that it's either due to the hassle the employers have to go through to obtain a work permit for applicants or that the industry isn't hiring foreigners especially graduates with no relevant experience. Having said that, I'm open and keen to explore other industries who are looking to hire foreigners with a degree - in an entry-level role.
If anybody has any story or information to tell, please do share as it'd be most helpful.
