Please forgive if I ask lame questions.
Dear sifus,
Why does everyone mostly talk about upstream career prospect? How about downstream processing?
Can I move to upstream if I started my career at downstream processing as a process engineer?

Dear all master/sifus,
I got two offers now. Downstream production engineer in Petronas Refinery. Upstream field engineer with baker.
Both are away from home =( one in kerteh, one in labuan. I prefer hands-on job, which both also can offer. Some says it's better to go to client's side. some says services company could let myself expose to more technical experience.
What masters/sifus here would say?

Thanks all the sifus explanation! especially bro Azraeli!
I think I'm ready for the challenge in Baker, and as you all have said, I really think that's the better choice now.
As for the structured training from Baker, is it really true that I can switch back to desk job after 3 years like they said on the brochure?
I wish to get back to my family my parents after 3-5 years.
Yes, bro december, the pay is better than petronas, but of course the working hours are longer =( the product line is not confirmed yet. would be wireline, tentatively.
Thanks guys!

May I know how you applied Baker? Via its official website or any other alternative ways such as submit the application form to their HR department as well. Thanks

Yes, via their official website. i think it's the only way. they don't take cv personally.
good luck.

If you get into the wireline business, you're set. It's a very challenging and rewarding experience. The work is tough but the reward especially down the line in your career will be very very good. Get as much experience as possible, and after 5-7 years I'll bet a LOT of operators (PETRONAS/Talisman/Petrofac/Hess/Murphy etc) will be interested in your skills.

Thanks guys and Azraeil.

I think I found my answer then. Baker is the one.

On top of that, I need to prepare myself, both physically and mentally.

Good luck to me and everyone. smile.gif

I know different comp have different style of screening CV
may i know what is the main focus for Baker Hughes when screening candidates CV ? for fresh graduate.
excellent result ? active in co-curriculum  ??

did they consider applicant from 2nd upper student ?

yes, there are plenty of 2nd upper guys in here.

do brush up your cv with all the relevant things that you have.

as the other guy had said, if you get the call, it's on your own dude.

good luck!! rclxms.gif

Hi thanks for the reply, so how was the working life in BH ? did u really learn alot ?
i heard oil field service site is very busy , how was that going on u ?
btw, how many stage of interview u got before u get in ?

im just asking for information, hopefully i can get in someday smile.gif  *envy*

It's busy, which also means that you will learn alot.
I think it's busy in any kind of job. There is no company that allows you to stay idle, not contributing to the production blush.gif
One phone interview, follow with BH experience day.
