economies, disrupting established patterns in education, employment, and career
trajectories. This paper explores a narrative review of the literature that studied the
graduates’ employability post pandemic. Narrative review is suitable to be applied in this
study, as it tends to achieve exploratory research where a new or emerging field is explored,
providing holistic perspective in which a wide range of studies is summarized, consequently
synthesizing diverse evidence that highlight the trends across various studies. This review
highlights the multifaceted challenges facing Malaysian graduates, emphasizing the far�reaching circumstance of the COVID-19 pandemic on graduates' employment dynamics. It
underscores disparities in the quality of employment, wage gaps, and the vulnerability of
workers in informal sectors. A range of factors impacting employability can be considered,
including self-efficacy, curriculum support, employability skills development, and work
placement learning. The study also explores the impact of postgraduate studies on
employment prospects, gender disparities in employability skills, and the significance of soft
skills and non-technical skills in aviation careers. Furthermore, it delves into how graduates'
knowledge and soft skills development vary by education level and how emerging concepts
like Industry 5.0 are reshaping the employment landscape. Confronting globalization and
