Is SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia) important for job hunting? Perhaps this Malaysian woman's experience will give you the answer!
According to Sin Chew Daily, a Malaysian woman posted on Threads that she dropped out of school at the age of 16 and did not take the SPM, so her highest academic qualification is only a PMR. Although she has the skills of tailoring and fashion design, when she was looking for a job, almost every job required at least an SPM diploma.
So she plucked up the courage to ask netizens:
"Can I still register for SPM as a private candidate? I don't do this for further studies, but to improve myself and increase my job opportunities."
She admitted that she had been relying on her skills to make a living in the past few years, but every time she saw "SPM required" when looking for a job, she realized the importance of the SPM diploma and it also inspired her to start over.
After reading her post, many netizens left messages to encourage her and enthusiastically shared the process:
