it's totally depend on u. only u can decide either it's worth it or not.

Think so, according to the memo i received from HSE department of mine OPU.

For us, it didn't put on hold for hot work, but we just need to submit photos for verification before the work starts.

just curious, most of u working in smaller towns n all, are u all attached (married)? if so how you balance takin on a new job in O&G

I see. It is always a good thing to take precaution. Thanks for the info.

BHE is like FEP in SLB I think. I failed that too. Haha. Poor me. Resume been passed down to Gesoserv I think I'm done with SLB. Don't think they'd consider me even if I applied again. No response in application for Smith too. Anyone from Gyrodata here?

same case as mine. not to brag bout myself, i too performed quite well if not outstanding in relative to other candidates who 1st of all speak poor english, not contributing much during the group activity yet passed the stage. i still keep my humility and not being overly confident or trying to be in the centre of attention.
and i cant even pass the 1st round whereby 10/15 did.

do those people prefer average or slightly above average people rather than good performers ???

Added on May 12, 2012, 5:15 pmof cz i know those qualities that u mentioned. being good in english is just a part of it. problem is, during the group activity, i came out with brilliant ideas and of cz, i do not purposely show off and act like a leader. all of 4 team members harmonize pretty well. during the group discussion, all of the members voted me when ask "who do want to be the leader" as well as "which 2 people do u want to work with in the next project".

like i said, im not braggin on myself, its of no point. the problem is, those qualities uve mentioned, out of 10 ppl, i think 9 also dont possess. theoritically yes, people seek those qualities during hiring, but in this world, the good people, the pretty/handsome, the successful people are like 1/100. i mean if people can passed those rounds being weak in english in the 1st place, (even taking out the note when he forget his lines in self introduction), being passive or not enthusiastic during group activity, do not exhibit confidence and passion, why dun i pass as well.

in fact, 10/15 people made it to the 2nd stage and me as the minority 5 didnt. come on, even if im not that good or average, i dont think im that bad to become the 1st 5 people who failed. unless those 10 who made it are the powerful candidtes with great leadership, determination, loyalty, wudeva u named it but they dont.

wudeva u might say to rebuke me, i still insist on this. i still maintain to keep humility while not trying to hog the limelight.
and can u ever explain why a guy with 2.8 pointer managed to get the interview and the job while a 3.9 pointer whos excellent in curicullum as well cant even f***in get the interview. its not some rare or exceptional cases of this happen, my 4 friends whose pointer are 3.5+ cant fkin get the interview during the on campus interview.

and also about the slb interview, my previous friends who interview for slb said the exact thing. she's already got petronas but went slb interview for "fun"/ to experience it... therefore, during the session, she's being quite passive and didnt talk much but she pass the round. she didnt expect it. while her 2 malay friends (my coursemate as well, whom we all know to be great performers because we are with each other for 3 years, we know who is good and who's not) cant even got thru the 1st round same like my case.


kindly leave me a reason why!! im not trying to whine or whut, i jz wanted to address my flaw and improve. do we have to self handicapped ourselves in order to be recruited ???

I passed all until FEP where there are only two candidates for one post as FET. I believe he's better than me. Haha. He speak english very well, hard to understand to me sometimes, american accent. Good guy, cool guy. I don't ask question as much as he did. Umm...I'm a girl, so I guess he looks tougher. Oh man, this is sooo last year.


No rezeki ma.... What to do.

I understand your frustration but just let it go, i see you keep on mentioning a few times/posts that you perform better and still fail in the first round of interview. Like you said you are not bragging on how good you are , but right after that, you keep on mentioning that others performed badly, cant speak good english etc .Like others mentioned so many times, cgpa is not all the employers are looking at, you need to perform during interview or write a good resume/cover letter, and of course a little bit of luck.There are still lots of companies out there , try again and you might be the lucky one next time. Look forward and try again, no point looking at the past and getting frustrated by it , as it wont change a thing. Just my opinion anyway.

agreed.well said

Angsi was declared as 'khazanah negara'. It has one mother platform ANDRA/ ANDP-A and remote jackets ANDP-B, ANDP-C, ANDP-D, ANDP-E.

I just commisioned well C-13, C-14 at ANDP-C this shutdown with Schlumberger MPFM and Sand Monitoring System.

I am replying this mail at Gorilla II.

Already 12 days at ANDP-C. Waiting to demob tomorrow.

Hopefully.....

Hard to say.........even I have experienced the same thing and sometimes its baffling really.

But best not to dwell on it for too long and learn to move on.

You do know that educational pointer rarely dictates how one performs in his/her work? and if they wanted field workers I doubt most 3.5's pointer above would be willing to get their hands dirty.

Amen to not dwelling on it for too long. It can drive a guy insane. Just try other routes into OnG. If none exist, sorry mate, I suppose you ain't fated to serve the sector. As my friend said: "You're needed elsewhere". I just hope I'm not needed in McD flipping burger patties (No offence to McD's workers) .

Seems like a lot of other people here have been rejected during the final stage selection process. It's common apparently. It's not that I hate them for not hiring me, at least extend the poor bugger the courtesy of telling the rejected candidate what he/she did wrong. But I suppose the HR department of big OnG firms....busy, busy, busy. Ah well, time to soldier on.

As for grades and extra curricular activities, I just have two true stories to tell :

Case A - Female. First Class Honours (Above 70% average) . Various committee roles in clubs and societies. Active in sports, joined numerous tournaments. Out-going, energetic, enthusiastic. Applied to Shell, rejected via e-mail. Not even a proper phone call.

Case B - Male. Second Class Lower (Below 60% average). Committee post in ONE club. Inactive in sports. A very passive and shy guy, very pleasant. Currently working as a Baker Hughes field engineer.

Once again, what are they looking for in the talent they hire ? Maybe some forumers can shed light .

I believe the selection can be very subjective.

It depends on a company's needs at that particular moment. It depends on luck. It depends on first impression also (one of the HR executives or managers could happen to be finding fault with the ways you dress/ smile/ walk/ eat or talk, who knows) and the list goes on.

sometimes, the superior needs someone who can follow instructions and mingle well with others as a team. or perhaps the chemistry with the one who will hire you.
and many other reasons.

i was rejected by a norwegian company though i passed excellently 2 tests. no reasons were given though have asked the HR. except my evaluation results.

i guessed some of u still cant understand my post haha. thx 4 ur kind replies. ppl said pointer is not everything, i think this some general truth like we all know. problem is, she cant even get the INTERVIEW to give wudeva impression, showing soft skills n etc.. and she won various quiz, public speaking stuff.
if some1 get pointer 4.0 but cant work in a team, introvert, poor soft skills and english or maybe arrogant, then i understand why he's not hired.
and to others, whatever things u may come up with.. smile, 1st impression, way of walk, way of talk, body language, charisma, humility or wudeva u might say, oh come on, most of us are average people. we dont walk like model or like an old man or talks like a president.
my friend, he's just told me, during the session, nobody want to work with him or vote him as the leader, and he has nth to present during group discussion because all other members talks all and he's just there being cool and all but he passed.
what ? u want tell me that he's humble or has chemistry with interviewer or some sort ?
one part of mooi's words i agree. it dpends on the company's needs at the particular moment.
as for mudlogger in my case, i dont they need people who are enthusiastic, having leadership n etc. since many quitting (tough n boring job), i "personally" would like to think they hire people that wont be able to be hired easily so that they stay quietly and obediently in that position to avoid the hassle of keep recruiting since my friends whos working there told me people keep leaving and he himself might leave soon.
but im not sure.
i take no pleasure in saying hey tis guy is noob, that guy is poor in this or that, i jz wanted to point out the facts.

and to heavenhell, lol my pointer is only 2.7 and of cz they didnt look at the pointer since they just call all the people who applied for interview. they didnt even look at the pointer. u talked as if im degrading others but that's what it is.
when some1 used life quotes, it sounds beautiful and easy, "be urself", "let it go"...
to think of it, the world isnt as easy like 1+1=2. its not how good u r, its how u blend in to camouflage in the weaker majority (sumtimes people consider this as teamwork). being outstanding many times is not useful as ppl might be jealous, backstab/sabo u. and there's conspiracies and hidden agendas all the time.
u watch drama hor also can c how good people eventually turned bad after they themselves being framed and realized how dark the world is. sad
