I know, I'm just tagging along. Unless he's talking about jobs in foreign countries and covert the wage to our local currency.

I know their basic pay and allowance would total up to 5k++. But 6.5k relocation to rural area such as sabah Sarawak?  Means upon hired from fresh grad they can get 7k without any early training??

Hey brother..which company pays like dat? Crap larr...unless the fresh grad stays 100 days at sea..then i believe he can get that type of pay? if 5K still acceptable..

I tot starting for shell fresh grad (with degree) is around 3.4k?

Yah haha, ever heard of cable, but IMHO, and correct me if I'm mistaken lah, that even with cable, HR will also look at academic results right? If result not good, even got cable also won't be of any use right?

Is there any other oil and gas company operating in Malaysia that pays similar, if not better than Shell?

Heard Shell graduate can earn more than 5k as starting pay, including allowances etc etc.

btw, all oil and gas folks... what is your take in HSE department?

I'm a freshie in environment but my education background is process engineering

The PLC Im talking about is programmable logic controller. Sry if I didnt make it clear..I didnt know PLC could mean production licence contract.
As for BI and Bo, I have no clue..but I believe it has something to do with the programmable logic controllers? I may be wrong tho
Its DI and DO..I heard wrongly. No wonder I cant find anything on the net. Paiseh

oh kk.. how about any other company in msia that is related to materials engineer? actually i am leaning towards metal industry or metal related. How about swiss profile? Southern steel gave me a call for interview, is southern steel a good company to be in? I heard that working in a foundry is kinda hazardous and prone to get diseases later on.

wat is MCI?

Yup i told them that im only holding malaysian citizenship. probably no chance ever getting hired now
Im not sure how 'excellent' i am in academic but i guess im ok. But im guessing there would rather hire locals than outsider couz it may incur cost to hire outsiders..

anymore vacancies? im an electrical grad.

they say contractors pay more? i wonder hows the benefits?

for me airline and O&G is totally different field...let say you mantain in airline for 3-4 years, i afraid it will be hard for you to switch to O&G considering non-related industries and you might need to start as fresh again if hired...no harm getting lower pay as start up as long as you're in the O&G field already...it just a matter of time to jump company for better pay once you gained some experiences later on...just my 2 cents...

Hmm, depends on what kind of OnG company u wanna join.. normally for those servicing and maintenance company in Miri like Petra, SapuraCrest, they welcome any Engineering degree to join them as Technical Assistant. Or like now, i joined ECS Shell as Graduate Engineer, which is basically kinda adminstrative job, so they would take in any Engineering degree graduate, this position is more like they
pay u to learn" position, where you can learn things offshore, i am under commissioning. The job is probably more like project management later on in higher level. If u wan do specialization, like process engineer, then chemical is way to go. If piping, mechanical or chemical. It would be better to study mechanical if u are interested.. Cos it is an all-rounder subject, i think mechanical engineering is applicable to 60-80% of the job market.

is it possible for degree holder in aviation engineering to join oil & gas? did learnt about gas turbine, sheet metal works n basic NDT..if possible then what position can suit? interested to join oil&gas lah..

finally, i appointed as engineer in one of oil & gas company after waited for 9 months patiently.

haih...i feel so glad becoz i get the job after hundred of resume i sent to them.

my 1st day working is tuesday, next week.

Okay, I suppose that's workable (although I prefer face-to-face interview huhu). Thanks

Any other suggestions/ ideas from others?

Both Sorry, but what is T&A? I tried to google but it came up with a few findings

Oversea company overseas? Might be difficult to get. Oversea company in Malaysia, that one is different story. Should have plenty of oppurtunity, esp subsurface people (to be honest I dont know about surface people).
But as what anyone has said before, just take whatever you got, and build your skills and reputation from there. After 3-4 years, you can try your luck in different company. After 5 years and above, companies will be looking for you. True story.
