Been applying for over 5x for various marketing positions, all of which did not even go pass the first stage. Mind you, I am in a senior marketing role and have done so for over 5 years.
Found out that the company favours internal referrals which is really unfair. Always get an automated response from HR that they have decided to go with other candidates yet the position remains open. Really prejudiced and biased.
Those with the skill set and experience are not even given the opportunity but those who have “connections” are. Come on guys, i know Malaysia’a work scene is highly political but there are many decent, hardworking, no nonsense candidates who would love to be a part of the team. Why bother posting open positions on JobStreet/linked in if you are only going to hire internally?
