anyone knows about ASNT visual testing certification and how marketable this cert in inspection jobs today.

and what company accept newcomers to gain experience in inspection jobs

How was the inetrview with RasGas? Someone from Penapisan Melaka just joined my company. Reporting for duty yesterday.

thanks. will try and give it a try. any short intro on him? is he in hr or engineering?

other contacts are still welcomed. the closer to the recruiter the better.

anyone here know about working environment at Murphy Oil  ?based on own experience or heard from friends?

if I'm not mistaken they were contractor before now its an operator (client)...

joe_star I don't work with Petronas and the info I give is public knowledge (public if you know who to talk to though) and I was involved with all the review process for the operators .... We Malaysians put so much stock in what the Mat Salleh say even though what comes out are mostly rubbish .... still have that colonial mentality ....

Once you reached 5 years, then you're marketable to a lot of companies (not necessarily the big operators) but basically you will start having options. Once you get to 7 years (late 20's early 30's) then some big overseas operators will start looking at you with interest. You will get some opportunity of being an expats in the middle east/Australia etc. Once you break 10 years, you are extremely marketable. Once you reached 15, people call you (headhunters etc) and you basically just need to tell them what you want in terms of Salary and Benefits

But you cannot coast when you are trying to get experience. Get involved in as many projects as you can handle during the first 5 years. Tell your boss that you are willing to take difficult projects and you will deliver and you should be able to get the experience you need.
