various, any job opening needing a mechanical engineer i applied it also the opening being in malaysia(i dont think they would consider me for their offices/plant/work site out of malaysia)(but also noting the experience field, x dak la i blindly apply for manger or senior positions )

if there is even internship opening oso i want to apply but jobstreet web doesnt .what im looking now is a platform to start.im also saving up a bit so that come dec i can take a twi+bosiet course to at least give a small mini boost.

If it is me,I would give it another few months to try,anyway the term of this company is way too one sided.5 Years bond with an allowance of 100/day for the training,it is bad unless they give 100usd/day,well that's another story.But the final decision is your's truly,and don't give up hope on SLB yet ok,they might have other position for you,try to call up the recruiter.

Jobscope,i don't know much ,but i think it has something to do with improving the whole process for maintenance.Salary is the same as FE,just that you don't get the offshore allowance since you are not going offshore anyway.

5 years bond is almost no turning back to o&g. chances are very very very slim after 5 years. jap factory just be more cautious, paying that certain scale with expecting lot lot lot hardworks. maybe got morning exercise before start work, punctuality is a mandatory with discipline penalty, etc...

suggested u take some part time jobs just to cover your daily expenses if really need to. or job that during probation with period notice 24 hours or 2 weeks or 4 weeks if by chances you happen to find one. full swing looking for o&g jobs.
btw, semi-con (electrical/electronics industry) is 1 of the hardest hit when every 10-year econ down-cycle coming with vss or down-sizing. o&g is mostly those contract type the 1st to go, depends on e&p decision from the top management/stakeholders of the operators.

my 1st job as mech engineer/site inspector consultant in construction 2 months notice period was a  "killer" during pre-interview phone conversation/ during interview stage.
was 3 years as consultant in construction before jump ship to o&g. applying more than 1000 applications by e-mail/hardcopy/website since before getting my last trimester result from uni.
my target is o&g, construction, heavy industry. factory is not in my list, had my industrial training in semi-con factory in kedah, every day in the production floor with SPC charts, some lab measuring tasks with instruments, segregation of electronics components by category and occasionally assisting seniors tech in maintenance works of machines.

hoo they sending u to japan.....thats big ...anyway what is the allowance 100 a day mean??does it mean end of the month you get the 2k+25days*100=total salary?

huhuhu..so ur gonna work in their new plant in similajau area huh?
is it O&G something u love doing? how if tokuyama pays u handsomely? would u leave it for o&g job?

Preakzz,

I would strongly advise you not to join the japanese semicon factory. Keep on looking for the big OnG MNCs. 5 years bond for a pitiful 8 months in japan is like daylight robbery and especially if it is a japanese company. Working in the OnG industry is way better in terms of money and job satisfaction than in a monotonous factory environment.

In big OnG MNCs be it from the operator side or the consultant/EPCC side, you'll get a lot of opportunities to work at different places around the world and most of the time (99%), there'll be no bond.

Oh yeah, and the good thing about working in a big MNC is that you can fight, talk back or even screw your omputeh bosses (in a "proper" way of course) and they are perfectly OK with it. Try doing that in a japanese company and you'll see that your days will be numbered.

Heck, I'll even suggest an efficiently ran local company than a japanese company. Sorry for the biasness but that's my lasting impression from my brief working days with them.

hoo interesting, any openings for experience-less grads?

it is not only the big numbers. there is also "abang-kakak-adik" or close relationship like relative/family the priority.

join sub-con or sub-sub-con. 

was 1st class but those o&g operators & even their direct sub-cons never responded to my application. only the sub-sub-con appreciated & responded to me which land to where i am now. when graduated from uni after 1-2 years working, the worst is that 1 of the o&g operators phoned me & told me my CV KIV and wait for response & not even left her contact number & e-mail though i politely asked for it. waited until today & nothing.   

Hey guys,

What kind of positions can a girl apply for if she wants to venture into Oil and Gas industry?

Lets say I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I speak and write fluent English.

Thanks in advance.

Last I checked with the HR, they have already recruited 1 Malaysian. Now they are looking for 1 Vietnamese as FE.

I believe you can apply most positions available..i dont think they only take men..unless the position is really2 demanding (travel a lot oversea/offshore)..

at C.Hess, there are many women working as engineers and else..some of them even holding high positions as well..

Gyrodata is a service company providing wellbore surveying and directional services for directional drilling,basically it is a service company

Gyrodata is one hell of a company. I think the BEST oilfield company to work for in the world. And yes, I said it.

Gyrodata is so good that even MWD & LWD engineers will quit their jobs given the oppurtunity to join them.

Physical Requirements

    Ability to lift 50 pounds - None of their tools weighed 50 pounds expect for the 20" centrollers and 8" sinker bar (Excluding their wireline tools)
                                        If you can lift up the machine gun in House of the Dead 4, yes you are qualified to work in Gyrodata. That's how lightweight their tool is.

    Ability to stand for 16 hours - Rubbish. None of their jobs requires the engineer to stand for 16 hrs. The closest task that requires this long standing period is during testing and rigging up your tool. None of these tasks exceed more than 6 hours and you can sit when you are testing the tools.If there's a time you need to wait, better hang in the accommodation and watch TV

Ability to sit for 16 hours - Who doesnt want to sit for 16 hours?

    Traversing a staircase multiple times for up to 16 hours - Don't get the wrong impression. The criterion sounds like you are reuired to do a 16 hr marathon up and down on the staircase. Again, you may need to go up to the rig floor on certain occasions but nothing came close to the 16hr jog up and down on the staircase.

    Grasp and hold hand tools and other types of equipment - Even a plumber also has to use handtools to fix the tap

    Be able to function mentally and physically with lack of sleep - Function mentally? Rubbish. Any post Form 5 polytechnic student can do the job. Probably the easiest job you will ever find in oilfield business. Lack of Sleep? Probably true, when you are doing singleshots when sliding in hole or your tool went bananas in the hole.

16 hr shift is not very common in oilfield. Normally if your job requires you to work more than 24 hrs, you will have a partner to work with you. In some rigs like Stena and Transocean, you need to get permission from higher authorities if you need to work more than 12 hrs.

Does anyone know that Gyrodata is one of the companies that takes in fresh grads or engineers from non oilfield background?

Next year, they will revise the salary for fresh grad to RM3000.

Ahh ... It's MMC (Syed Bukhari punya kan?). Get your hands dirty and if possible, get lots of experience in FEED (Front End Engineering Design) and maybe after 3-5 years, you can join the Operators. Some of my good friends are decision makers in Petronas Carigali Development Division.

there is no such thing as failed interview.
only the interviewees are not the perfect match for the company, though this does not necessarily mean a bad thing in many cases.

anyway good luck with ur new career.

any graduate opening for process engineer for chemical engineering one? I have a fren in need of some help getting a job in Miri.. which company should she approach?

for fresh grad? btw wat position u got in MMCOG KL? i have a fresh grad chemical engineering friend currently looking for job..

Oh ok thanks.. By the way, my friend got called by the Miri office, so any tips that can share with us for the interview session? Like any technical things need to focus, or any kind of questions that need some attention? THanks
