Split views on whether fresh grads should take 'any job’

PETALING JAYA: Should fresh graduates accept any job just to be employed although it does not match their qualifications?
Despite an academic saying they should not do so, the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) said being employed provides working experience.

They were commenting on a Khazanah Research Institute report last week that said about 40% of graduates in the country face tough times securing well-paying jobs that match their skill sets.
UiTM Faculty Business Management (Human Resources) senior lecturer Dr Muhammad Aiman Arifin said when fresh graduates accept any job, it would significantly impact their professional development and future success.
