Bachelor of Business (Honours) in Human Resource Management

I learned a lot of things with the course I take but there is one thing that struck me the most learning the principles of HR, recruitment, labor laws and Organizational development that really helps me to do my current role at Jobstreeet Malaysia. The most useful thing I learned, when we study the application of HR knowledge is that helps me today in day-to-day engagement with the HR team of companies, especially in advising in hiring the right talent for the company.
