am not sure what type of auditor u are referring to.
finance or quality system or HSE system auditor or technical engineering auditor?

u can learn more on IRCA auditor at here-->IRCA

commonly, most of the auditor's job scope covers either in ISO 9001:2008 or ISO 14001/OHSAS 18001 or API auditor (oil & gas) or licensor auditor or etc...

you must specify which one you are in.

no worry, don not give up, keep trying. was at consultant line in infra/building construction for 3 years b4 join o&g another 3 years plus until now. slowly build up your resume from stage by stage.
sending out many application letters & online resume when working in construction.

for a start it does not matter, just keep trying. was in consultant construction 3 years plus before join o&g.

once you are into it, if u wanna climb the corp. ladder (manager/head of dept/etc), it is best with qualifications especially in mnc, unless that particular company unable to find the skills/experience it needs. so build ur qualifications & networking simultaneously side-by-side with your job.

tried since graduated from uni at age 22 during working as consultant in construction for almost 4 years before happened. so things can happen.

learn along yourself and then you will start to appreciate instead of spoon-fed which is happening nowadays lot.

english essay writting, english grammar test, 15 minutes face-to-face interview.
group discussion, presentation, mock-up scenario etc.
IQ math test, english listening test, english IQ test, etc.
face-to-face interview last round.

luckily, my mind still as fresh as just grad from uni.

so pls do your homework. nothing always comes spoon-feed.

there are some. but mostly internal promotion or dept. transfer under "business development".
sometimes, one needs networks for this. or u can try your luck @ OGA 2011 coming soon 1-3 June 2011 @ klcc.

you can always google but spoon-feed you at here:
OGA 2011 Exhibitor List

there is no specify prospect for a post. it is about how many wells & reservoirs are there. how much the o&g operators are willing to capex into E&P. then only jobs are created.

basically, supply & demand theory.

sa big cash. but many layers of bureaucracy.

Welding

AWS

NDT

Nebosh

IRCA

it would be best if one with combination of welding certification (CWSIP level III) + NDT ASNT TC-1A (PT, MPI, UT, RT level III) + HSE (Nebosh) + ISO 9001/14000/OHSAS 18000 IRCA.

there are policy. outside working hours, during rest days.

not with engineer background also can be claimed "engineer".

sorry, am not in the 2 postings but hope the following can assist you.
there is no such thing which hv better career prospect. it is about demand & supply at that particular timing period. do u understand the o&g economics concept?
the way you are asking is like everyone at here is owning something to you. be humble always & re-ask politely. am in the good mood to answer u today.
u have the closing "cables" & you should try to ask them which is a short-cut.
i need to use my own capability to get a job in o&g which from 1st assessment until last interview & get the offer letter signed total almost 5-6 months.

i believe mostly in lab & dealing with instrumentations. but not sure if you need to go to field to collect measurement data & set up any instruments at field or not. saw about FA Engineer posting in Shell few years ago.
the keywords are PVT lab & SGS:
PVT Lab
SGS
subject back to fluid mechanics & instrumentations & measurements.
great job scope for ladies.
i like to attend certain courses in SGS if company foots the bills.

almost every week we got 3rd party inspection. this job is very interesting. start this when young is very good to build one's field experience. when at field hands-on also learn about tech spec & network with various people.

on pay, maybe you will want to gauge where experience or $ more important based on the percentage of your commitments. it is individual's commitment.
