The people who arrive stuck.

Students and recent graduates

Applying into shared services and finance and technology and software around Kuala Lumpur against people who already had someone make the call for them.

Job seekers who keep reaching the last round

Strong applications, no useful feedback, and no one in Kuala Lumpur who can say what the shortlist actually turns on.

People early in a job here

Questions

The things people ask first.

Do I have to live in Kuala Lumpur to book?

No. Matching is cross-border, so a mentor is chosen for the job they do rather than the city they sit in.

Is it really free?

Free to you. Sessions are funded by our employer, university and public-sector partners.

How soon can I get a session?

Sign up, tell us what you are stuck on, and pick a slot in MYT once you are matched.

Can I be matched with someone in shared services and finance?

Yes. Shared services and finance is one of the areas Kuala Lumpur mentees ask about most, and mentors in it volunteer across the network.

Will my mentor understand the Kuala Lumpur job market?

Often, yes. Where the better match sits elsewhere, you still get someone who does the job you are aiming at, and the advice is set against what you are facing in Kuala Lumpur.
