Your best place is the "Jobs" section at the top of the page.
Adverts aren't allowed on the main forums, and you tend to get a lot more views in the jobs section anyway.

Hi you might want to add skills, experience, qualifications and nationality. If you are not Malaysian you cannot get a job legally as a maid without an agency. They hire overseas and make a large margin.

Hi, just a piece of advice. If u think the employer or interviewer ask you too personal questions then i would suggest not to go for it. As an employer, these are the questions they normally ask:
1. How long have you been here?
2. Do you have a proper visa?
3. Why you left your previous employer?
4. Can you do general housework?
5. Then they will tell you what they dont or what they like such as; off days, phones are not allowed during working hours and etc.

If you're not sure whether a job offer is a scam or not the following topic thread will help you find out, and to protect yourself.

It really isn't too difficult to find out, most of it can be done with a simple Google check in a few minutes.
