You can start reading the specifications and datasheet that AFB and compare it against technical data submitted by vendors. You will stumble upon unfamiliar things and that's when your Internet will become handy. Google up for things in the specifications and datasheet that you don't know. This will leads to one thing to another. While you are at it, get familiar with PTS and DEP (which indirectly related to IEC, BS and etc.). If you can't find the information that you wish to get, walk-up to your lead and ask.

Also, you can always ask your vendor for better explanation.

If you have a chance to go to yard whether during construction or commissioning, by all means make yourself available. You'll get better picture.

I think that is the only way for you to pick-up the technical knowledge.

guys wanna ask, what is the chance of being call again by the company if you have failed the interview ?
i went to an interview with the client site ,but failed, n they told me they will call me up if there is suitable post.

I am not working as Client (I wish I am) but from what I heard from my friends (who are working in Pet), you will not be called again at least for a good one year. I don't know this for sure, it is what I've been told.

as i knw, thats true for shell, cos i applied before n failed (the email said I can only apply again after a year). but how bout other Clients? oso adopt this same policy ?

in aspect of career advancement , do you recommend joining consultancy after contractor ? or client ?

Any1 joined from supplier ranks b4 ? Good offers ?

Ya...Im freshie too....hope u can guide us....

Not very sure about the OnG job market in malaysia since my experiences are overseas and in singapore. I skipped malaysia and focused more on the overseas market since their daily contract rates are better, exposure to a non-malaysian work environment and less affirmative action policies.

me too...already register with rigzone but all job listed are for the experienced.... so how we freshie want to enter the OnG? i dont mind to start from small company as long as relate with OnG

I have apply all o&g company in Malaysia and currently wait for their response....plus pray to get job because o&g field is my dream job and i really passionate about it....btw, how's singapore work life there?

Do you mind which EPCC company are you currently working with and position?

First of all, single line diagram is the most important thing to study. Do you research on all the instruments, cable, etc etc on the line list. This way, you,know where is the line going, what is does, and why izit there in the first place.

2nd of all, do not stick to electrical discipline. Try to get knowledge on other discipline as well ; mechanical, structure, and piping. By getting all the discipline together, you will have a clearer picture and and upper hand in dealing with nuisance client who try to "show off" their knowledge.

Finally, be resourceful. I reckon if you ask some experience colleagues for an answer, do counter check their answer. Sometimes, they might just BS you cos they know or someone told them. But in depth, they don't understand "why" and "how".

Do the above, you will become a better employee.

Salam and Good Day guys..

Wanna ask here, do you know where to find Caesar II, Cadworx, PDMS sofware? What I mean is pirato/lanun/harem software since the ori price same like honda civic price.haha Only for self learning and want to improve my cv. I have been search before, just found regular/popular software. Also search at arab website but difficult to find. Please guys..

Sorry, we are not allowed to discuss pirated software here.

haha ok boss, my mistake. sorry guys

I am no longer working in singapore anymore. I am now stationed in osaka japan.

Singapore's work culture in generally is being hardworking and putting long hours to have the appearance of being hardworking when you can actually have nothing much to do but what to give a good impression to your superiors. That scenario usually applys for "chinaman" companies.

MNC's or clients on the other hand prefer people who can work independently, have good time management skills and are hungry for self-improvement.

Compared to malaysia, especially the government sector or GLC companies. Singapore is a world apart, they are rather prompt when it comes to customer service and they are efficient.

Malaysia on ther other hand fails miserable in this regard. I recently had an enquirer to one of the goverment departments and their telephone lines where always busy, they had no e-mail to correspond and they dont take their job seriously. I was very frustrated, and all because i just wanted to make an enquirer.

I recently came back from australia and i may in the future move there since i've been around and malaysia is disappointing to say the least and i see little chance of improvement in the near future.
