Mira just graduated. She was thrilled and can't wait to start on a job. She has big dreams and plans to buy a property before the age of 30. Owning her own property means she is independent and self-reliant. She was also aiming for a salary of RM 3,000 a month and as such worked really hard in University to obtain high CGPA while being active in athletics and toastmasters where she represented her university at regional level. Regardless she found it hard to find a job with that salary as the current pandemic has crippled the economy sector and baseline for salaries has reduced by 20 percent or more. To make matters worse, many Malaysian's were losing their jobs as companies were downsizing to reduce cost, making it very difficult to negotiate for higher salaries. Some companies even had to close down as they couldn't sustain operations. Looking at the situation, Mira decided to take up any suitable job even if the salary was lower than what she expected. She finally got a job as a Management Trainee with a starting salary of RM 2,200. As her parents live in a different state, she has to find an accommodation in KL and she also has plans of joining a fitness club as she is an active person. Mira is still fired up to achieve her dreams but feels doubtful at times if she can really make it. Assignment Questions 1.
