Amirul, who completed his Bachelor of Aircraft Engineering Technology at UniKL Malaysian Institute of Aviation Techolongy (MIAT) in June, is working as a Foodpanda rider due to the difficulties in securing a job related to his course.
"I can apply for Executive positions but there aren't many vacancies," he told SAYS.
"If I want to look for a job outside of my field of study, the answer I get the most is that I'm overqualified," he added.

Amirul's post resonated particularly well with netizens who are working in different industries while searching for jobs in fields they studied in

"We're the same bro. Four years studying my diploma in an Electronic Technology course. Now I work as a security guard at Aeon Mall."
Nevertheless, many reached out to encourage the Foodpanda rider to keep up his good work, and congratulate him for making an honest living
Several Twitter users even offered recommendations on where he could apply.
