definitely going to attend this career fair and try my luck..see you there

yup2

thanks bro

where do i start...
well demand is high but.... BUT

everyone expects MORE for less
more prod for less cost...
electronics have always been evolving... 6" >8">12" wafers in no time...
margin is small and Continuous improvement is key to profitability...

labour aint cheap in Malaysia and its harder to do business once min wage policy applied nationwide...
raw materials arent from here so shipping is a concern...

so you are working with quantity based profit...
as the margins are miniscule...
Thats what i meant by dying...

and 5 years back... i was a vendor to semicon industry...
for RM1mil product for production line, takes 1 year to evaluate with multiple discussions from ALL levels... an essential item to the line
bare in mind we are talking about the biggies in semicon...

so electronics, put it this way...
first to feel the effects of an econ. downturn, last to feel the effects of a booming economy...
evolving too fast, hard to keep up....
wages arent good either

If your job description as a normal Finance Officer, Excecutive, Paymaster, Manager etc.. The salary should be quite similar with other industry..
Exceptional if you are the Finance guy who have good relationship with Client in Profit Sharing Company (PSC)-at Malaysia
Exceptional if you are the Finance guy who have good relationship with Financial Provider for project loan etc.
Exceptional if you are the Finance guy who have extra skill and good in consultancy of E-system (SAP, BASS, etc)

honestly...
not all O&G jobs are technical ppl...
think of a total solutions business...
same as not all engineers in a semicon...

account, supply chain, business improvement, corporate affairs, legal, finance exec
so many roles for a finance personnel

I am currently seeking an internship position I am from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) , majoring in Materials Engineering Programme.

I am thinking about stepping into the O&G industry. One in my sight is corrosion engineering.

Can any real corrosion engineers(or those who know about them) explain the prospects for me? Is is any good?

Thx

i see.. i'm 4th yr degree! last sem i'm doing reservoir simulation part.

Im sure they will reply. I submit my application at their website around a month ago.And I get an email from the HR deparment asking me to fill in some form and some certified true copies document back to them. It doesnt hurt to just take 10-15 mins to fill up the information at their website.

alright! thanks for the advice.. been having some problem accessing their website.. don't know is it the server down or my line too slow..

Had the same problem to log in into their discover website too.Started from 2 days ago if im not mistaken since I wanted to update my info. Why dont you try logging in using your smartphone. I had problems logging in using normal browser,be it chrome,IE or firefox.But was able to log in through my handphone

Good for you .
Hope you get ..

Had some problem with logging in with username and password.The pop-up windows wont come out.

Im still studying.majoring in electrical power. Just trying my luck with the ong industries.to be honest, im still abit blur on what position that i should apply or can work as. Probably as instrumentation or control engineers.any sifu can give me some guidance? Is Field Engineer position applicable to me?

Since your background is electrical power, i think u should apply for electrical engineer position. Unless you more interested to C&I stuffs.
If you wanna learn more about technical, can join consultants or EPCC. After gain some experiences then you can jump to Clients(like Petronas,Shell,Exxon,Newfield,Murphy and ...)

One quick question!
Kencana Pinewell is recruiting planning engineer or planners
So what does planning engineer or planners do? What are their job scope?

If you are a fresh grad, chances for you to go into any fields is high as compared to the experienced ones. As long as the field doesn't go way off from what you have studied.

However, there are few cases where by PETRONAS hired EE grads for PE positions. That was due to insufficient number of candidates.

I hope this will clear any doubts raised by our future and potential engineers out-there.

Quick answer... u need to know everything from the beginning until end of the project!!

hope so! Working in Petronas seems like a good way to start..
