Absurd to claim Kajang polls for rakyat’s benefit

Absurd to claim Kajang polls for rakyat’s benefit

It is irresponsible for Anwar Ibrahim and Pakatan Rakyat leaders to give excuses that the deliberately created by-election in Kajang is meant for Pakatan’s common interest and strengthening the coalition in serving Selangorians. Such lame excuses are actually a smokescreen to cover up its attempt to resolve PKR’s power struggle.

JobStreet.com  Is 1st To Introduce Salary Matching Feature, Removing Guesswork.

JobStreet.com Is 1st To Introduce Salary Matching Feature, Removing Guesswork.

Malaysia, 9 December, 2013 - JobStreet.com recently launched a new feature called Salary Matching that matches candidates to the salary they want.  JobStreet.com is the first and only job site in Southeast Asia to provide this salary matching feature to help candidates find the job that meets their most important requirement – the right salary.

Job hunting is not an easy task, especially when candidates are given insufficient decision-making information such as salary, to help them apply for the right job. To underscore the importance of salary information, a recent Nielsen survey showed that when it came to choosing a job, salary is the most important factor.

Candidates often applied to jobs blindly without knowing if the salary for the position matches their expectation. If there is no match, it becomes a waste of time and resource for both employers and candidates. For the employer, their position does not get filled and the candidate is left, still searching. Therefore, the JobStreet.com Salary Matching feature is a major innovation in helping the candidates find the job with the salary that is right for them.

JobStreet.com has always made it a priority to display jobs with salary information. Since the launch of the JobStreet.com Richer Job Ad in the fourth quarter of this year, salary information has been displayed on job advertisements.  This is done to help candidates make better decisions when applying. With this launch of the Salary Matching feature, Jobstreet.com becomes the first job site to present candidates with jobs matched to their expected salary.

Another of the many new innovations introduced by JobStreet.com recently, is the Personalized Page. It allows JobStreet.com members to log in and view job matches, consider suggestions that might suit them or if they choose, browse jobs, all complete with salary matching.
