Hey guys. I am kinda shortlisted to attend my first ever job interview around KL areas for an O&G company. The thing is, I am kinda "overseas" which requires me to fly to KL to attend the job interview (the flight tickets can go up to a few hundreds, if I book at last minute). So I am wondering,

- is it possible to ask or negotiate with the HR to reimburse (part of) my flight expenses? Or it is something ridiculous? Or any other ways to minimum the expenses I have to fork out as I am still a student?

After a tiring week with a lot of interviews, finally today, i got myself involved in O&G industry too. The starting salary is not that much compared to the offer i got from MNC manufacturing company. But thinking about the advancement prospect and future experience, i would not mind starting with lower salary.

Request them to give you Phone interview or skype conference, thats another solution.

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

Any other suggestions/ ideas from others?

1st job interview in O&G or 1st job interview ever (fresh)? Some companies do pay for the candidates T&A whenever they are attending interviews

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

Term & Agreement. -T&A

If this was your first job; you better fly in for you interview & impress them; if you are the case of working offshore-platform; better arrange a phone interview with them.

im sure you dont wish to screw up your chance to be in a good sector. smile.gif

Noted.

Ya I also prefer face-to-face interview so that I can impress them better. tongue.gif Just that I am nervous that I have to fly to KL, arrange my transports and accommodation etc on my own when I am there as I am unfamiliar with KL. Of course, the costs worry me as I am afraid there will be few more rounds of interview in order to get that job.

They should pay for it. Unless in your resume/cover letter, your address is some where around KL.

well, my point is, you should call the company to check how many interview it takes to secure the job. if it's only ONE interview, and it's a good company, and u love the job description, just buy a tic and fly over there (postponed to the date where you can afford the plane fare). if there's 2 interviews it takes, i think you should tell them to have phone interview first then f2f interview. judging from you previous comments, i believed you are from East Malaysia.

Alo, Travel & Accomodations tongue.gif

Those, from my experience anyway, that pay (again, maybe subjective to position level) are

i) Shell
ii) Hess Corp
iii) GL-ND
iv) Prosafe Prod (Singkapoh) <- very good offer
v) Petrofac
vi) BH
vii) Talisman

Okay, noted. Thanks you all for replying. I appreciate it! smile.gif
