who go to petronas interview yesterday?

I felt it is quite difficult to get into the oil & gas industry, unless u know some one in the company. Send resume to a lot company yet no reply, sigh sigh

Well, I don't think it is hard if u have a good CGPA, they normally will called those first class scorer for an interview then can get through is another different story.  As for my case, I am lucky that when i graduated last year is the time when the entire engineering market is blooming, so i got 2 offers from oil & gas companies. This year definitely need many forces in oil and gas industry with the high crude oil price with more than 100 USD per barrel.

I think client company like Petronas and Shell will review every applicant, they normally won't go for pointers just log in their website and do some personality test and they normally will call u for phone interview...

Just send out your resume, no harm trying. 

I'm currently still first class, yet did not get any reply. Sigh. Do I need to send resume to them even though they don't have any opening or wat?

Hi all,

May I know how is the prospect of being a business analyst in O&G industry?

And let say my current salary is 2k, will I get huge increment (>50%) if I join O&G company? Or just maybe 20-30% of my current salary?

Thanks.

Well, seem like not many people aware that Civil/Structural Engineer can really work in Oil and Gas industry. Actually to work in oil and gas as structural engineers, you can become consultant, contractors, service engineers or working for client company.

For Consultant you can apply for,

Technip, Ranhill WorleyParsons, RNZ, MMC Oil Corp, Noble Denton, Germanischer Lloyd (Malaysia), APL, etc...

For Contractors (fabricating the structures),

Kencana HL, MMHE, Ramunia, Brooke Dock Yard, Sime Engineering Yard

For Service Engineers,

Aker Kvaerner, Single Buoy, J. RAY MCDERMOTT (normally prefer experienced engineer), Sapura Crest, etc...

For Client Engineer, you can apply for

Shell, Petronas, Talisman*, Murphy*, ExxonMobil* (* tend want experience structural engineer but can try)

For doing not related to structure, with high pay and long working hours, you can try to apply schlumberger.

There are more actually but this is what i can think of for now.

Btw I am structural engineer working in one of the consultant for less than a year (just graduated last year).

2nd interview was hell.. it's exactly like the reality show, The Apprentice..minus the media coverage.

we were divided into groups of 6..8 groups total.. we were required to designed and built a platform structure that can withstand 8 golf balls using A4 paper and cellophane tapes.

than later we have to justify the design, and 3 judges just bombard us like there's no 2moro.. it's totally stressful, similar to their work env IF u were selected to join Schlumberger..
this evening is the result for shorlisted candidates. 3 interview will be conducted 2morofor those selected ones.. it'll be hell then!

IMO, Schlumberger recruitment team is the most tough, arrogant, ... i mean, they have every rights to do so since they are the number 1 highest paying service company in the world.

They do pay the highest in malaysia for fresh grad...

Rm 5080 basic.. n 2nd round interview, i'm out..   but i gained some really good experience , no doubt

boy oh boy, it is consider normal and everyday routine to work in that kind of environment. So what i would say to those interview is very very normal and it is the first door to the company, their ppl will ask you all kind of questions, judge you from all kind of angle, and evaluate you from tip to toe. My suggestion to this kind of interview, only talk when you are 200% confirm you know what are you talking, doing and who you talking to, or else better just shut up and sit down. Do not try to lie to them, that's the worst case of all.
