Nampaknya majoriti majikan zaman ini tidak berminat lagi dengan pekerja yang kurang mahir dan perlukan latihan dan ini termasuklah graduan-graduan yang baru sahaja keluar dari institusi-institusi pengajian tinggi (IPT). Selain dari itu, majikan berpendapat graduan-graduan ini tidak mempunyai skill komunikasi yang baik dan tidak fasih berbahasa Inggeris.Oleh itu, para graduan-graduan yang baru keluar IPT di nasihatkan jangan terlalu memilih dan meminta gaji yang tinggi bila memohon pekerjaan. Mereka seharusnya terlebih dahulu mendapatkan pengalaman bagi menambah nilai mereka di mata bakal majikan.
KUALA LUMPUR: Employers consider fresh graduates liabilities as many require additional training before they can perform. Companies would rather hire experienced and skilled professionals who can bring instant returns, said Kelly Services marketing director for Singapore and Malaysia Jeannie Khoo. She said employers felt many fresh graduates lacked communication skills and had poor English and needed to improve before they could add value to the business.
“This means additional costs for the company. Employers are looking for people who can hit the ground running,” she said after launching the Kelly Services Professional and Technical Salary Guide 2012 here yesterday. Khoo said the 27 polytechnics in the country generated thousands of skilled workers every year but many of them needed to be retrained by their employers. She advised fresh graduates to be less choosy and to have realistic expectations on salary and remuneration.
“You are unlikely to earn RM3,000 in your first job. “Be willing to learn. If you are offered an internship, take it,” she said.
Kelly Services Asia Pacific head of professional and technical, Mark Sparrow, said demand was growing for professionals with experience and niche skills. He said there was a global shortage of talent in specialised areas of engineering, accountancy, technology and financial services.
