Job job job

Let me tell you what my schedule everyday is starting from the moment I got up from my bed – oh wait after my breakfast will be more appropriate. Log on to my Jobstreet account to check updates regarding my job application. There are about 7-8 application to different types of job in my specialization which is biotechnology. 

Well the jobs are not that great. Usually it will be lab technician, lab assistant, sales consultant and etc. Usually my qualification will be about the requirements or sometimes I will be over qualified for the job. The one thing I will be lacking is the experience part. I know I’m still a fresh graduate. But it is not my fault for heaven sake. I was not given a chance to show what my abilities are or to gain any experience.  And there would not be any great changes in the job application status. Either it will be My Application:New or My Application:In Process or My Application:Under Consideration or My Application:Kept for Reference or the worst My Application: unsuccessful. 

So, clearly there is not much about what I had to do more. Usually what I’ll do is search for more vacancies and applies for it. And repeat the same thing every day. This has been going since I finished my third year studies dated 18 May 2010. And right at the moment I still haven’t get any positive reply. Now I wonder what the problem is. You see troubleshooting the problem is another problem. I never came across anyone who had a positive experience in job searching by using Jobstreet. That makes my judgement little wobbly. 

Talking about my academic qualification. Hhmmm it wasn’t that bad. Of course I did not get a first class or gold medal. But I think upper second class is way too better for that jobs that I applied which requires minimum STPM or Diploma qualification. So what is the problem now? My curricular activities??  I don’t think so. I have good record of participation in curricular activities starting from my secondary schools until university. And I have valid certificates to prove that.  So what is the problem now?  All this analysis leads me to a dead end!!

 I’m stuck now. And I’m still wondering what and where did I went wrong. If this is going continue in my future job application, definitely I’m going to call the companies to ask them directly the reasons for the rejection. I know it is kinda rude. But hey what other option do I have now other than this? All this makes me wonder whether the Jobstreet is really doing it’s job o no? Or all this is just a blanket by government to say “hey people we are doing our best to help our graduates get employed”.  –duh-.
