QUOTE(noruazumi @ Dec 18 2012, 09:29 AM) There's a story that a hopeful Malaysian received a great offer to work in Iraq. He accepted and flew there. Upon arrival, the company sent a car to pick him up from the airport to go to the working site. He was shocked to see the car has many bullet holes. So, he bought a ticket home using his own money and flew back to Malaysia instantly. cool story bro hahaAlso, from another source, you are safe if you are in the working site. But on the way there, nothing is for sure. Haha. Above are stories I heard. I don't know the real thing but a few Pet friends of mine already working there for Garraf projects. Still alive last time I checked. |

QUOTE(noruazumi @ Feb 21 2013, 06:06 AM) Many years back, Petronas interns were sent to offshore as part of their internship programs. Last time I check, Petronas is not sending their interns to offshore anymore due to safety reasons. IMO, its better than working in the office.There should be companies that send out their trainees to offshore, I guess but I don't know any. But from what I can tell from my experience, offshore is not really a place to learn, it is a place to work. Every minute counts and we can't afford to have mistakes just because the personnel is not competent. BTW, I am just curious. Why do undergrads really eager to go offshore? Do you think gaining weight at offshore is fun? |

QUOTE(Dagger69 @ Feb 21 2013, 01:38 PM) There are PLENTY of jobs in OnG, just that fresh grads nowadays are just too picky. Always aiming for the big ones, that is why hard for them to land a job. totally agree to this.OnG is all about the experience guys. Its okay if you cant get into a BIG company with HUGE salary. Start from the smaller ones, gain some experiences and then JUMP. Even companies now are taking in people with at least 3-5 years of experience. |
