Kuala Lumpur, 13 January 2022 - By choice or by force, many people have started to reevaluate their career paths in the past 2 years. In October 2021, the Department of Statistics Malaysia reported that the unemployment rate remains higher than it was pre-pandemic at 4.3%. With a saturated job market, the colossal task of building a career in a new field without any prior experience becomes even more daunting. 

Hiredly is kickstarting the new year with great news for these job seekers who are looking to change career paths. The newly rebranded job discovery platform formerly known as WOBB has launched a campaign called #ZeroHero featuring jobs that are open to hiring candidates with zero working experience.
