In Malaysia, the minimum salary you need per month to sustain yourself in Kuala Lumpur is US$645 (RM2,700).

This is according to the country’s Central Bank.

The Malaysian Trade Union, on the other hand, says a starting salary of US$717 (RM3,000)would be ideal for fresh graduates would be ideal.

In reality, Malaysian fresh graduates tend to earn less than even the number recommended by the country’s Employees Federation: US$621 (RM2,600).

Danial Ashraf is a fresh graduate, who just like his peers, have been in the market looking for a job. He recently experienced one of the worst job interviews.

Danial had applied for a Human Resources Executive position at a packaging manufacturer. In his application form, he had clearly stated that he would like to be offered a salary of US$645 (RM2,700).

Two interviewers conducted the interview. But only one spoke, according to Danial.

Despite providing the necessary information about his past work experiences, it appeared that the interviewer didn’t bother going through his CV.

Instead, what Danial experienced were a string of absurd questions and snide remarks that no one would be able to stomach.

It was pretty insulting as well. But Danial held his tongue.

The interviewer continued asking condescending questions despite Danial having provided all of the answers in his CV.

Danial was then told that his expected salary was off the mark.

The interviewer then proceeded to ask why Danial preferred to stay with his parents than become independent.

Danial explained that this was due to their medical history which require someone to care for them.

But here’s the kicker: Turns out the position he had applied for had already been taken!

This was when Danial could no longer hold his tongue.

But the interviewer had the cheek to reply with the world’s most silliest retort.

Turns out, Danial had done his research and was prepared to slay the interviewer.

According to Danial, he believes the reason he was not selected was down to the color of his skin.

Apparently there was a female interviewee before him who claimed that her asking salary was US$600 (RM2,500).

Here’s hoping Danial gets a job from an employer who values his hard work and doesn’t mind meeting his expected salary.
