# ‘Got Job?’- 17yo M’sian Applies For Job Without Resume Or Proper Manners, Gets Criticised By Netizens

**We have all made mistakes when writing resume for the first time. However, an employer's social media post regarding a conversation with a teenage job-seeker has stirred a range of reactions online. **

The post, shared by [Myra Suhaimi ](https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1890882541284245&set=gm.2586982318130091&idorvanity=490306194464391)on Facebook, underlined the significance of proper etiquette when seeking employment.

**"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](https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1890882541284245&set=gm.2586982318130091&idorvanity=490306194464391) 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.

The post has received more than 1,300 likes and 762 comments at the time of reporting.

## Netizens: No way
