What I Did to Land a RM3,000 Salary as a Fresh Graduate 💼✨ To all the freshies out there—Good luck, and remember: starting early is key to building a solid resume! Here’s how I did it: 1) Always have a long-term vision. After completing my diploma in 2022, I took a full-time job at a forwarding & shipping company with a basic salary of RM1,500. I worked there for 7 months while waiting to pursue my degree. I worked 8 AM-5 PM at the office and continued working at night as a cashier at a supermarket near my house, earning RM4.50 per hour. My objective was to gain valuable working experience so that, upon completing my degree, I could have bonus points on my resume to stand out in the job market. 2) Be active in school and university I stayed involved in high school and university—yes, partly to boost my resume, but also to grow as a person and develop valuable skills. 3) Apply, apply, apply I applied to hundreds of job openings on platforms like JobStreet, and I didn’t stop there. I made calls to companies to get the contact info of HR managers and increase my chances. 4) Manifest positive thinking I always aim for the best, and I work hard to turn my dreams into reality. 💪 Now, I’m actively looking for courses to further upskill and keep adding value to my resume. Anyone have recommendations? Let’s keep growing together! #CareerTips #FreshGraduate #ResumeBuilding #JobSearch #KeepLearning
