A bit of myself. I am M24 living in JB. I recently graduated EE engineering programme with SCH 3.24/4.0 from upm. I said recently but it was actually, finished study in July 23’ and graduation on Nov 23’. Prior this, I was actually thinking to go into microelectronics industry since I studied electives of microelectronics, digital circuit design, analog etc.
You know, i had I always imagined myself working in Intel, Micron, Infineon. but the thing is I suxk in my studies, suxk in interviews. After my studies in July last year, I didn’t quickly applied for jobs and instead ‘focus’ on my rotu for a month and then ‘relax’ at home until Nov. I only started applying for jobs then. I applied close to 500 jobs, only 8 interviews. By then, it was already end of January 24’ and I still haven’t got a job.
Then, reality hits me when I realised I am still jobless when most of my peers already working. I panicked. I felt useless. I am ashamed of my self. I also realised I cannot go on like this anymore. I thought to myself, if I can’t get a work in my preferred industry in Malaysia, i might as well work at SG albeit a different industry. My sister was applying for restaurant management trainee for a F&B company in SG. So I did the same as her. It was for the same position at a different branch. I got a job. Finally. I mean, an almost RM10k for a fresh grad, I am more than happy.
But right now, I am in a dilemma. Did I make the right decision? Will my degree go to waste? Will I be stuck in a 6 day 12 hour shift cycle?
Sorry if this looks like a rant. but I just want to know what you guys think.
