Enhancing Marketability

This is podcast from MMU Career Connect titled “Enhancing Marketability?”.

 

This is an episode featuring Mr. Ben Chee a finacial regional officer at Donaldson, where he explains how the industry finds employees from all around Malaysia with high marketability. Also, there is another host that MMU Podcast invited Fatin Yusof who is from Graduan a Non-Govermant Organization which helps graduates from a variety of universities around Malaysia to gain industrial perspective from companies that are looking for freshly graduated employees.

Here are some tips that are recorded during the session for you to have and share with your friends to enhance your marketability

 

    • Highlight your track record. Employers want to see that you have a history of success. When you’re writing your resume or talking about your experience in interviews, be sure to highlight your accomplishments. This could include things like increasing sales, reducing costs, or developing new products or services.

    • Stay current. The business world is constantly changing, so it’s important to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and technologies. This will help you stay marketable in your current role and make you more attractive to potential employers.

    • Polish your credentials. If you have the opportunity, consider getting additional education or training. This could include taking courses, attending conferences, or getting a certification. Having the right credentials can make you more marketable and give you a competitive edge.

    • Expand your responsibilities. If you’re looking to increase your marketability, one way to do it is to take on more responsibility in your current role. This could mean volunteering for new projects, taking on leadership roles, or simply going above and beyond your job description.

    • Work with a mentor. A mentor can provide you with guidance and support as you develop your career. They can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses, set goals, and develop a plan to achieve them.

    • Network. Networking is a great way to meet new people and learn about new opportunities. Attend industry events, connect with people on LinkedIn, or reach out to former colleagues. The more people you know, the more likely you are to hear about new job openings.
