'Fresh grads, this is how you apply' - HR praises M'sian's job application email

The Sun7 days ago
A Malaysian recruiter's post has gone viral after he shared what he described as a 'proper job application email,' urging fresh graduates to take note.
In a Threads post, user kir.ridzuan uploaded a blurred screenshot of the applicant's email, which featured a concise introduction, a clear outline of qualifications, and the applicant's resume neatly attached.
The applicant shared details such as his three years of experience as a Support Service Engineer, educational background, current location, notice period, and languages spoken.
In his caption, the recruiter wrote:

'Fresh grads, this is how you send a job application email. Not like those sloppy ones I keep receiving. I'm so annoyed.'
The post quickly gained traction as netizens weighed in with their own thoughts on the email format and the recruiter's feedback.
teh_o_suam commented: 'Don't be too harsh, boss. Fresh grads aren't used to highlighting key points like this. For a service engineer position, this format is fine — straight to the point, no long sentences. But if it's for an admin or proposal role, it may not work as well because those require stronger writing skills.'
Some, however, felt that the applicant's email still had room for improvement.
areripelmy shared: 'For me, the context is okay. Maybe he should improve since he already has 3 years of experience. If he were a fresh grad, I'd understand. But for someone with experience, I expect more. Still, keep it up and always strive to improve.'
Meanwhile, durrahindaeyo, who frequently reviews job applications, praised the effort: 'I receive job application emails every day, and this one warms my heart. Hope you land your dream job.'

Ministry to monitor IC misuse after RON95 price adjustment

SETIA ALAM: The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry will issue reminders to petrol stations to prevent the misuse of Malaysian identity cards for the upcoming RON95 fuel price adjustment. Deputy Minister Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh said the ministry will intensify monitoring efforts to prevent leakages and misuse by foreign-registered vehicles using Malaysian ICs. "Previously, petrol stations were prohibited from selling RON95 to vehicles with foreign registration plates. "If local ICs are used (after the fuel price adjustment), we will remind petrol station operators to stay vigilant, and we may need to monitor closely to ensure these ICs are not misused repeatedly," she said at the closing ceremony of the TikTok Shop Summit today. Yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced several key initiatives as a gesture of appreciation from the government to the people. Among these initiatives are a one-off RM100 cash aid under the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) programme, the postponement of toll rate hikes for 10 highways, and a lower subsidised RON95 petrol price at RM1.99 per litre. On June 16, Anwar said the government would proceed with the RON95 fuel subsidy rationalisation, as it is crucial for the country. Anwar, who is also the finance minister, said there was no issue of a RON95 price increase affecting the majority of Malaysians. On June 26, Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said the government would move ahead with its plan to implement targeted subsidies for RON95 petrol this year. However, the rollout would be done in phases to ensure the most effective and least disruptive mechanism is adopted.
