Finding “the one” might be tough, but for a lot of Malaysians, landing a good job seems even harder with 34% of them saying it’s more challenging than finding a long-term romantic partner.According to a survey by the job search platform JobStreet by Seek, it was found that a lot of employees are finding it tough to land jobs that really match their skills, experience, and career goals .
The survey also pointed out that part of the problem is the uncertainty about long-term job satisfaction, with only 18% of employees saying their current job is a perfect match for their skills.Young talents are all about finding roles where their skills shine, but money still talks. The survey shows that 4 out of 5 Malaysian employees would take a job with a great salary and benefits, even if it doesn’t fit their long-term career plans.
These findings show a clear difference between generations, with younger workers focusing more on career growth and alignment rather than long-term job security.The push for advancement among younger workers should get employers thinking about how they can change their retention strategies, especially in highly-skilled industries, to keep their talent.
Youth unemployment and underemployment are still big issues, with 37.4% of those with tertiary education stuck in semi-skilled or low-skilled jobs, highlighting the need for more high-skilled opportunities.
