A young male university student decided to work full time as a Grab driver during his post-graduation job search. He posted his resume on the seat of his vehicle to increase exposure and for passengers to access. The man, named
Naziruddin (@naziruddin19)
, took to Twitter to share his experience. In addition to sending job applications on the online platform, he wanted to improve his chances of finding a job through this method.

To Naziruddin's surprise, this method actually worked. Many passengers asked to have their resumes photographed and to help with information such as job vacancies. Nazrudin told the media agency mStar that he once gave a female passenger a lift and during a conversation they mentioned his educational background. The woman was interested and asked to have his resume photographed and wanted a printed copy of it.

"She asked about my educational background and then asked me to give her a printed copy of my resume to forward to potential employers. It just so happened that I had a printed copy in my car, so I gave her one." Nazrudin said. Later, he checked the female passenger's LinkedIn account and realised that she was a divisional director of an e-commerce company. Good news is Nazrudin will now move on to the interview stage.

Nazruddin is a graduate of the National University of Technology and Petroleum (UTP) with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering. He laughs and says he can't believe that this method actually works. He reveals that other passengers have requested to have his reumse photographed and have tried to enquire about job vacancies through people they know. "Malaysians are just too nice", he exclaims.
