============================================================
okay, come on
i just want some kind of job which can offer me at least 2k
thats all
please don't treat me as a cheap labor okay?
the value of money is getting smaller nowadays
i will keep on waiting, i believe i deserve more than RM2k
let me list out my plan here
each month expenses
Give Papa Pocket Money :RM200
Give Mama Pocket Money :RM200
Shopping : 1 cloth or dress or pants/2 weeks =RM50X2=RM100
1 pair of shoe or heel or sneaker/month = RM30 (can be ignored)
1 handbag/month = RM30 (can be ignored)
Accessories/month = RM20 (can be ignored)
Movie : 2 movie per week = RM6X4+ RM12X4 = RM72
Pop Corn+Drinks = RM7 X 4 = RM28
Petrol : RM50/week = RM50 X 4 = RM200
Lunch/Dinner (luxury) = twice per week = RM20 X 8 = RM160
Phone Bill (DIGI) = RM50/2months = RM25
Miscellaneous = RM250
TOTAL EXPENSES/MONTH = RM1315
how if i accept the job of RM1700 (prai)
Must-deducted criteria
Petrol+Tol = RM360/month
EPF (11%) = RM187/month
So now become RM1700-RM360-RM187=RM1153
RM1153 is my REAL INCOME PER MONTH
Hence, RM1153-RM1315(monthly expenses) = NEGATIVE RM162!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CONCLUSION = NO MONTHLY SAVING + NOT ENOUGH TO SPEND
NO MONTHLY SAVING + NOT ENOUGH TO SPEND = SUFFER
HENCE, CONCLUSION = SUFFER
such a low pay for my field
silly alice
poor alice
i felt kesian for myself
=============================================================
My friend just ask something very direct and the answer of mine was just that simple
he asked me : what is the purpose of working for you?
definitely i'll answered him ：money of course
maybe some of you guys felt i'm childish
maybe i don't have long vision about my future
okay fine~
but i just want to say, no money = no future (quoted by Shihchi)
this is also true right?
thats why, i choose money right now
i rejected the low pay job, i wait for the higher pay job
i hope i'm not going to regret!
just try to convince myself i'm worth more than 2K
i'm not a cheap labor please, even a TESCO sweeper can get RM1.5k according to my friend staying KL
this is very cruel!!!! RM1.7k
asshole! how to survive! you thought this is zaman purba is it?!! DAMN IT!!
what for i study so hard in USM
the dean list is NOTHING la right?
but i not blaming any company
i understand this is the stupid trend in malaysia
ONLY IN MALAYSIA!
AN UNDERDEVELOPED COUNTRY who FEELS ONLY ENGINEERS ARE IMPORTANT
(i'm very childish saying this i know, but who cares, this is my BLOG, this is my hand, this is my brain)
okay so i just roughly got an idea
i earn M'sia money for around 3 years, try my best to save as much money as i can
try my best to earn experience as much as i can
then i'll make sure my parents are healthy enough
then only i'll travel to S'pore/China/etc to stay+work
seems very far from now
but at least i successfully arranged my super messy future plan
allright
GOOD LUCK ALICE
GOOD NIGHT

But i think if you reduce your expenses on movie to 1movie/week then will directly reduce ur popcorn n petrol expenses as well. Luxury meal also can avoid la, now got a lot voucher/promotion ma, save a lot but still can enjoy luxury meal.
Just my advice lo...better saving to buy a house cos now a days, Penang house shoot up faster than a rocket, sweat for "da gong zhai" like us...
Anyway, hope u can get a nice offer and dont simply accept any job that below 1.8k, this is unreasonable salary for a Uni graduate student.
Thanks for your lovely advice, the expenses i listed out just a very very rough idea, haha, thanks for gone through those silly and complicated numbers etc..haha...
Yup totally agree with you, house/land is the most valuable asset in Penang now. Of course i'll get one for myself if i can afford that :)
Yup, i'll bear in mind about that,thank you. salary below 2k is really a miserable amount for Uni Graduates... you're so lucky , do you mind to tell me which Uni and what course you took last time?
I'm graduated from Biotech. Sometimes i felt really depress because what i studied seems very hard to get a well-paid job. This is the trend, i have no idea why this can be happen.
I tried my best to attend all the interviews, perform well during interview, however or whatever, i just need some luck!
Lastly, nice to meet you and thanks for visiting my blog. :)
I'm grad from UUM and study Inter. Biz.But now working not so related with my study, now work as Buyer/Planner.
Biotech is quite a HOT course in Singapore but not in Penang. Maybe you can go Singapore lo, hehe~
you work in Jabil as Buyer right? i applied for this position too, but never receive their phone calls, can you ask them for me why not shortlisted me? haha, :(
yup, Biology field is not popular and not important as compared to other country, thats why the pay is very low, however i believe there still got some kind of company especially factory can offer me very good pay, i just need some Luck.
Cheers =D
but I'm at Jabil service line not the P1 or P2.(the big big one)
so far our purchasing side no vacancy wor....you no receive call maybe currently freeze take in people due to biz no good recently for Jabil P1 & P2.
Ya, maybe try harder but I think u apply buyer is a waste la, try FMCG industry, sometime they need those people like u.
hmm, i applied through Jobstreet, there is a vacancy ah, but so far they never view my resume also..:(
YUP i'll surely apply FMCG industry if there is any opportunities for that, hmm, what i can say is, too few vacancy for my field already.... T.T
what to do? haha, keep on waiting and wish me luck yea! :)
sigh, i got the same feeling with you...you're so right....
btw, live goes on, we need to think positively though we know the situation is very negative now...
have faith, there's still got hope as long as you're still alive in this earth...
cheer ya my dear ji mui
best regards.
