Hi Preethi Are you here on your own or with family Are you married to a local Are you allowed to work here without a work permit Jobs are aplenty if you have the qualifications but I think you should find out the proper procedure for a foreigner to work here Please find out before you go job hunting Sorry if I have pricked your bubble Tetania
Hi Thanks for your consideration and reply.. I am married to a local, yeah thats y i have cum here.. and regarding work permit : i can get permitted if i get offer letter from any company.. but the problem is wherever i apply, they call for interview etc.. bt finally they say, they wil give offer if i have permit.. Hope u understand,, immigration wants job offer first then they wil give permit whereas, companies want permit first, then they wil give job offer.. I am confused as to what to do.. Please help friends.....
Hi there... Its strange fr companies to ask for permit before they hire you. The procedure is to get a job here in Malaysia, thn apply fr a permit. This procedure is same fr few other asian countries, as far as i know. I feel the company is not aware of the procedure. Is there a country where we get the permit first before applying fr job? strange! I have worked wit many call centers in KL...ex: Axon, EDS..etc.. and ive seen many married foreigner work thr. Thy got the job and then the company will help thm to apply fr a permit. It wil b a simple procedure because ur married to a malaysian. If you wil be interested, do let me know. Same thng happened to me when i wanted to work in Singapore, I got married there. Get a job, thn apply fr permit.
Hi Priya, I am happy to see your reply. I just completed my studies in India this May 2010.. I have done MBA (Human Resource & Marketing) and B.Tech (Information Technology) .. All this is with First Class and Distiction.. I am really really frustrated here because all the companies are not willing to hire me because I am a foreigner.. I feel that ''what is the use of studying when I cant even get a small work also here?''... Please help me.. In the current situation, I am ready to go for any work.. I tried call centers also, they said that they will hire only Malaysian citizens.. Please help.. Really looking fwd for help.. Regards Preethi
Even if you are married to a Malaysian, they will not give you a job. It is very difficult to get a job in Malaysia, they dont like foreigners who are not tourist
hi I cannot understand ur post. are u from malaysia? do u mean 2 say that I cannot work here?? Bt I know many people who are in the same position as me work here. Bt of course la, wth a lot of trying for jobs more than a year, and nw working here as Priya has suggested above.. Can u explain ur point more clearly, plz.. Regards Preethi
There are many MBA's out there as well as many grads with IT degree who are Malaysians. Besides immigration will not give a work permit without an offer from the company even if the have the spouse program. So getting a job in Malaysia is almost impossible, unless you have a friend who is willling to give you an offer. So chances of getting a job in Malaysia in almost zero, that is the bitter truth.
