This week, I am very stress out from my full time job as a Software Engineer. I had tons of tickets to resolve. However, I still managed to contribute some times to this community.
Beginning of this week, I promise myself to find at least 1 event organizer for AsiaPartTime. Why event organizer? They are the main source of part time jobs. They need a lot of part timers for their events. Do you guys know, Malaysia is an Event Country. We have events whole year around. Here is a simple formula:
more events = more jobs = Need a place to find Part Timer = AsiaPartTime
This week, I managed to call up Crystal Edge. They are one of the main event organizer for most of the IT events around us. As I know, the coming big event is Microsoft TechEd. I managed to convince their HR to use our community to source for part timer. Thanks for their support and they posted their first job with us
.
This week, we going to explore a new job recruitment website in the town - Jobsmeet.com. They pretty new but their website look great, in terms of usability and quality of the job. Their job is updated and the variety is quite rich.
Anyway, cut it short. We are not going to review their jobs but their website. Here is our findings:
Good:
- Referral Program
- This is a good way to expand their database. We always believe viral marketing is the most efficient way of expanding your network. Anyway, good thing must share with friends. If you think AsiaPartTime is a good source for Part Time Job, then faster invite your friends to have a look at it. - Fresh Graduates Corner
- I like this section. It directly show all the entry jobs which is suitable for freshy. However, they can try to apply other jobs too, but the chances of getting hired is lesser.
Bad:
What? A Cow in LRT? Ya, you are right. I saw this cow on my way to work. I really respect this cow. LRT is so damn hot and pack, he still wear this >10kg Cow suit walking around in the LRT. Really
.
Actually, I saw this job posted in Low Yat forum last week. I invited the owner to share this interesting job with our community members.Unfortunately the owner rejected it because it is a HOT job
and he found a candidate. Nevertheless, it is a good job.
As promise in previous post, we made a call to Pikom, the organizer of PC Fair Malaysia. Thanks to Ms.Grace by giving our community a chance to find part timer for their coming nationwide PC Fair. For the coming KL PC Fair on 3rd-5th August, they need 10-15 part timers to work as the assistant event organizer.
For members from outside Kuala Lumpur, please don’t feel sad. Pikom also need some part timers for their events at Penang, Johor, Sabah, Perak, Kedah, Pahang, Kelantan, Terengganu, and Melaka. However, there is a limited position for these location.
Since we are one of the best source for Part Time Job in Malaysia, we would like to find out the best source for full time job. I guess every Malaysian will vote for JobStreet. Perhaps, there are other small players in the market. We can’t deny that Jobstreet already taken up 70% of the job market but yet the cake is so big, they can’t have it all.
If you drive around the town, I am sure you will find out 7 / 10 taxis are carrying Job Recruitment Advertisement. 70% of if is taken by JobStreet and the remaining are taken by the small players. The advertisement cost doesn’t come in a cheap price. If not mistaken, they paid RM30 per taxis for every month. For those small job recruitment firms, it is a burden for them. With the huge fund backup from the shareholder, Jobstreet are easily control the market by market through this channel. How the small players going to survive? Perhaps, you guys are the one who help them out by finding your jobs there. I am sure the jobs there won’t pay less than the job in JobStreet.
