From An Applicant to An Ace: Make Employers Swipe Right on You!

Camelia Loh, Founder & CEO, Kabel

16-Aug-24 12:00

From An Applicant to An Ace: Make Employers Swipe Right on You!

We discuss the critical issue of youth employment in Malaysia, as we explore how young talents can stand out in a fiercely competitive job market. With global youth unemployment at its lowest level in 15 years, Malaysia still faces a significant challenge, with the youth unemployment rate hovering around 12.5%.

We speak with Camelia Loh, Founder & CEO of Kabel, a job-matching platform connecting employers with interns and fresh graduates, about the strategies for young job seekers to differentiate themselves before, during, and after the hiring process. From the importance of developing soft skills and effective networking to leveraging digital tools, Camelia shares insights on how young talents can enhance their employment prospects and thrive in today’s evolving workforce.

Whether you're a fresh graduate, an intern, or an employer looking to tap into young talent, tune in to this conversation for valuable perspectives on how Malaysia can shape a more dynamic and inclusive job market for the future.
