SELL Yourself During the Interview

Major universities around Malaysia could easily produce at least 10,000 graduates every year, and taking into account two convocations per year, the numbers could be much higher. However, job opportunities may not grow as fast and consequently contributes towards the unemployment rate.

But, the main question is, why do the rate of unemployed graduates continue to rise ? Through our observation, it is found that graduates are not aggressive job hunters. The primary reason behind this situation is the lack of CONFIDENCE.

Graduating students, need to have the confidence to aggressively attack the job markets. They need to not only have the confidence in their capabilities but they also need to have the confidence to be competitive in places where the jobs are available, such as the Klang Valley, Penang, Ipoh and Johor Baru. Of course, not to leave out emerging cities such as Cyberjaya and Putrajaya. Graduates must not deny the abundance of off-shore employment opportunities.

Realising this fact Gem-Asia Seminars has designed a 2-day program called "Preparing Graduates for Pre-Employment - The Practical Approach". The essence of “Preparing Graduates for Pre-Employment – The Practical Approach” is to build and instill their confidence to attack the job market. The program will provide training ala “American Idol” so that they have both theoretical and practical exposures.

We believe that through this collaboration the “Preparing Graduating Students for Pre-Employment” program could benefit students enormously by giving them the confidence and know-how in facing the challenges of pre-employment.

Although the pre-employment period is rather short but it could be detrimental in charting the course of one’s career. Nevertheless, students MUST BE ABLE TO SELL THEMSELVES CONVINCINGLY in order to get the "dream job" and career head start.
