Job Seekers Armed With Confidence
By Cedrina Norlaila Abd

Bandar Seri Begawan - Close to 50 job seekers yesterday attended a course aimed at preparing participants for jobs - especially in the private sector. The course was organised by the Career Resource Centre, Ministry of Education.

Self-resilience and the readiness to work according to shifts and long hours are important attributes.

The ability to work long enough in a particular establishment would ensure continuity of tasks and responsibilities.

Training stints organised by the employers would be cost-effective if there is a low turnover amongst the employees.

These were some of the pointers that were brought to the attention of the participants.

The day saw several papers presented.

In addition; course organiser Dr Ee Ah Meng spoke of the ways in which to project oneself during a job interview.

Besides proper attire, the ability to communicate effectively and display the proper attitude is assets that prospective employers look for. Readiness to go the extra mile is yet another important attribute, he said.

Later, Awg Moksin Hj Omar enlightened participants about the positive attitude of a good worker. Determination and perseverance are important qualities that were emphasised on.

According to participant Abu Bakar bin Hj Salihi, the course was both lively and enlightening, arming him with greater confidence to face future job interviews.

A course of this nature would go a long way to help increase employability of job seekers.

Being better prepared and having a proper mind set, job-seekers would most likely land themselves a job in a shorter period of time, said Dr Ee. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
