50 more to get scope for Malaysia jobs

The Bangladesh Overseas Employment and Services Limited (BOESL) will select 50 more applicants through a lottery to give them an opportunity to attend interviews for jobs in Malaysia at no migration cost.

The decision came after several candidates from the initial shortlist of 300 failed to attend interviews held on Thursday and Friday. BOESL announced the additional selection in an urgent notice on Friday.

A total of 4,029 applications were submitted online between November 6 and 8 for recruitment at Malaysia’s DHL Supply Chain (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, according to the notice.

The initial 300 candidates were selected through an automated online lottery.

The new lottery will be held at 10am on Saturday at the conference room of BOESL at Probashi Kalyan Bhaban in Dhaka.

The 50 additional names will be drawn from the remaining applicants, excluding those already selected.
BOESL will livestream the lottery on its official Facebook page and has asked applicants to follow the broadcast.

The Ministry of Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment has launched a programme to send 10,000 Bangladeshi workers to Malaysia without migration costs.

Under the first phase, 112 male workers will be recruited by DHL Supply Chain as operations assistants and technically skilled workers.

A nine-member delegation from Malaysia has arrived in Dhaka to conduct practical tests and interviews for the final selection. The recruitment process will continue until November 15.

BOESL said the selected workers would not have to pay any migration costs or service charges, as the Malaysian employer would bear all expenses.
