Hi Members,

I am a Sri Lankan national married to a Malaysian. I have recently relocated to Malaysia (Johor), after years of employment in the Gulf.

As I see KL having more job openings than in Johor, I still have doubts whether or not companies in KL hire foreigners like they did before? Will I stand a chance?
I hold a Diploma in Business Management with experience in Low Voltage Switchgear business and I am 41.

I am willing to relocate to KL even for a job hunt but before that, do you see foreign recruitment still in place? Apart from qualification and experience, what are the odds I need to consider? On the Visa side, I am on Spouse visa and am free to engage in employment.

Please excuse me if my question may seem awkard but would respect your inputs.

Thanks

There are a couple of areas where foreigners can't be employed because there are sufficient local talents -

This may be useful
