Salam and hi...
Today I want to share what we have discuss in previous class regarding problems with current model in terms of the barriers to get a job such as stereotypes, prejudices, discrimination, language and cultural differences. Those are the causes why some of us hard to get into certain area of work and I don't deny that since in Malaysia itself, we practiced this.
So, I did read an article that helps us to encounter this barriers. There are some tips to avoid this issues like:
1) Learn new skills. Eg : learn multiple languages
2) Develop a good response in yourselves : try to answer questions with confidence
3) Adjust personality outlook : get the right attitude
Those are the tips for us to get a job. But, as a future counselor, we are the change agent like Dr. Siraj has said in the class. As the change agent, we need to understand other's values so that we can help our client. In America they have law in EEOA (Equal Employment Opportunities Act). So they can imply discrimination toward the worker or job seeker.
It will be good if in Malaysia we have that kind of law. All are deserve to get job with their own qualifications. :)
