hey guys, need ur opinion here

im currently in my final year, taking degree in mechanical engineering. to be honest, my performance is just so-so.. 2nd lower shud be ok but 2nd upper not sure can get or not. not very active too

i dun feel like wasting my time trying to apply for huge companies like shell or exxonmobil. what sort of companies should i try my luck once i graduate? something not too competitive but can pave the way for a good career?

im not sure how my resume would pop out among others haha. ya, im doing my internship now and all my engi knowledge is pretty much useless

how did u apply using ur 2nd year result? ur company waited 2 years then recruit u?

that's my concern. it doesnt matter if im able to portray myself well etc if my CGPA is too low, right?

let's assume my CGPA alone is too low for big companies. back to y question: what sort of companies should i try my luck once i graduate? something not too competitive but can pave the way for a good career?

haha okay. probably i should rephrase. any (probably relatively obscure) companies that most good students didnt try to apply (bcuz they feel they can go for better companies) but is actually a decent starting point for a career? ;p

any opinion on working in a small o&g consultant for a fresh grad? good or too risky? :S

examples of those paying big? im more interested in designing stage, so that's why if possible wanna start in o&g consultant first. but i dont think im qualified for those like worleyparsons, technip etc. looking for smaller companies, in KL

errr i think ajang is just a shipping company, not oil and gas.

if like that... any small consultant o&g companies to AVOID? can PM me

well im in miri now, but looking to start a life in kl. personal reasons

MLNG bintulu?

i just got back from the ranhill worley open interview. trying to apply for mechanical engineer. im a fresh grad (well not really lah, will be officially graduating on wednesday hehe)

the interviewer said only got 3 vacancy. n he's looking for someone with a bit experience in oil n gas construction. i have none +_+ so i dont think i have a chance. they didnt seem to really care about my results though. but then again the interviewer was the lead engineer la, not HR ppl

but the interview was pleasant, with mat salleh.

my god today 100+... sure no hope.. hahaha

i didnt even state my pointer on my resume go take a new passport photo!

for mechanical the job relates more to rotating equipment like pumps, compressors etc. u got learn?

oh i see, it's more similar than what i thought

oh turns out i did get the job at ranhill worley XD

seems like tokuyama accepted every single applicant

thanks oic, ergh UTP students know more abt oil and gas? ;p

thanks from the interview they did say my for job it is required to go offshore. but i dont know how often, n i have no idea about the allowance

miri. i hope can transfer to KL after 1 year :S

may i ask again what's too formal and too casual in a consultant company working environment?

going to kl soon for shopping haha

im going to kl before i start working i do have a rough idea lah, shud be fine

btw i just finished all 94 pages of this thread. fuh, so much things to learn. i think i need to go to the petroleum museum someday to learn more about this industry

ranhill is one company

WP is another company

but in msia, ranhill joint venture with WP, but i think it's more under WP control
