More jobs for grads in telecommerce

GRADUATES will now have more job opportunities in telecommerce with a newly formed partnership between Teledirect Telecommerce Sdn Bhd and Jobstreet.com.  

Under the Jobstreet Campus Programme, Teledirect will be able to take part in road shows, educational talks and exhibitions organised by Jobstreet to promote telecommerce as a career to job seekers and students.

Teledirect managing director Francis Chung said there was a general misconception that the sector offered no career advancement.  

In fact, he noted, a recent survey showed that call centres paid more than banks and jobs in telecommerce had been branded as hot.

One can go up the ladder from being a contact centre agent to being a senior manager in the organisation, he said. 

Chung added that the shared services and outsourcing (SSO) industry would change drastically as Malaysia was positioning itself as a regional outsourcing hub for the Asian region.

Jobstreet chief operating officer Suresh Thiru said the site had more than 1,000 jobs available per month for fresh graduates. 

There is a fast growing number of jobs opportunities for fresh graduates in the SSO and business process outsourcing industry, he added.
