Baffling jobs and Muar food

Have you ever looked through job ads and wondered what a particular job is all about? Here is one for you. What do you think Message Therapist Jobs entail?

That's baffling? Wait till you see this menu. The next time you visit Muar, be sure to check out the restaurant. This was submitted by Sharifuddin Sulaiman for The Star's Thumbnail column.

Did you know that Muar is not only famous for otak-otak and oyster omelette, Muar is also known for mee bandung and asam pedas.

Looking for a job?

I am always in awe, no, actually baffled every time I hear or read about our graduates being jobless and not being able to find a job.  People here are actually so lucky because there are tons of openings out there in every sector imaginable.  Are we perhaps being too choosy, or plain don't know where to look!

I read the other day that there are more than 200,000 new graduates every year and if you don't get on the bandwagon, (read rat race) now, you would have more graduates to compete with year-after-year.  Now you know!

Alright, maybe you are looking to work elsewhere. How about charlotte jobs to start with?

Healthcare jobs

Malaysia has a low unemployment rate. There are plenty of jobs available in every sector. Foreign labor from Indonesia, The Philippines, Myanmar, Pakistan, Nepal and China make up a big part of our manufacturing, restaurant and domestic help sectors.

For locals, there are many job options. Just take a healthcare career, for instance. There has been an increase in private specialist hospitals in the country, especially in Kuala Lumpur so a career in this field has much room for career development.

Forbes Special 2020 Report

Interesting article in The Star today about Forbes' predictions for the years ahead. In its special 2020 report called ‘What Happens Next Our Look Ahead’, among others Forbes predicts that in 2014 the richest man on earth would be Indian business tycoon Mukesh Ambani. His current wealth of US$29bil would swell to US$62bil pipping the world’s current richest man, Mexican businessman Carlos Slim.

If you're a big fan of Facebook and a stocks investor, you might be able own a piece of Facebook (in stocks, that is) when in 2012, social networking site Facebook debuts on NASDAQ. Its IPOs value US$40bil and founder Mark Zuckerberg becomes the first 20-something who is worth US$10bil-plus.

And in the US, there'd be more jobs as the US job scene finally improves in 2018 as unemployment drops below 7% and worst of quadruple-dip recession is likely over, Forbes predicts.

There you go, things will look up again in the coming years.

Healthcare Jobs Available

In The Star paper today, there is an article that says "Singaporean white collar professionals are going though a rough patch in a changing world economy, having to compete for scarce jobs with a mass influx of ‘cheap foreigners’."

This is hardly surprising with two million foreigners in the city-state and most are willing to take the job for lesser salary.

Unemployed graduates are driving taxis for a living in Singapore though whatever job it is, if it puts food on the table, it's worth doing.

Whatever it is, certain jobs are not easy to fill, such as healthcare jobs where relevant qualifications are needed. Here in Malaysia, I read that there is a shortage of medical staff resulting in doctors in general hospitals working extra long hours in most cases.

Kudos to You if You Are in Sales

I've always marvelled at people who are in the sales line and doing a great job at it. I have a girlfriend who is selling life insurance. She has been at it for years now but is only doing it part-time though she is doing very well meeting her quota annually and going on a twice yearly vacation overseas too, I might add.

I suppose if she were to have access to life insurance leads, she would be doing much better.

Are you in the sales line too? What do you sell?
