Malaysia is offering over 275,000 jobs nationwide on its public jobs portal as of October 1 and urging jobseekers to register on the portal and apply for the roles available in various sectors. 

“MyFuturejobs is the sole window for the National Employment Services Portal, which is developed to help students and graduates to be better prepared to enter the job market, and to make job seekers in the local community as candidates who are sought after by employers to fill vacancies,” Socso chief executive Datuk Seri Dr Mohammed Azman Aziz Mohamed said earlier, when launching the MyFutureJobs Satellite Centre. 

The portal is powered by artificial intelligence, which is able to match jobseekers accurately to respective roles, based on their academic qualifications, experience and skills, as required by employers, he said.
