“Advice for recent SPM graduates or anyone job hunting , good manners are essential wherever you go,” she wrote.

She then detailed the appropriate way to apply for a job, which includes creating a basic resume using online resources like Google or Canva, responding in complete sentences, and respectfully addressing the interviewer as “sir” or “madam.”

The Facebook post included a snapshot of a discussion between the employer and a 17-year-old girl, who started the conversation with a blunt ‘kerja’ (work) message without introducing herself.

When the employer asked her to introduce herself, the teenager revealed her name and expressed an interest in a part-time job.

After not receiving a response for over half an hour, she sent multiple messages asking if they were hiring part-timers.

The employer then asked for a resume and questioned her approach when the teenager refused to send one.

She retorted, “It’s only a part-time job. Besides, I’m only applying to be a waiter, not for an HR or accounting position.”

The post sparked an online debate, with some questioning the need for a resume for part-time work, while others agreed with the employer that the teenager lacked good manners.
