i would say not necessary to stand up or outstanding during the group, but you need to be FIRM and communicate in group. Dont be like my case, where i having hard time to communicate with my colleague as i feel that he has no respect in me and trying to order me to do work most of the time even we are same level and i know his idea mostly go into drain and together kena f*ck.

so what kinda benefits Baker has?

i dont remember much but, they covers the insurance like wat other companies do, if a fresh wan to persue the master course while working wt them, the fees can be reimbursed as soon as the course is finished. The another benefits will be free membership for some clubs outside.... there's lots more than that, but i couldnt remember it cause i've turned down their offer...... i didnt see the whole package as well, but when im an intern last time in Shell, they said that the salary incrememnt is also very fast, etc etc... they have very good impression about BH..

so, r u still studying or are u working?

Do not be ignorance.
This is "oil n gas career" thread. Not investment or what. Stick to the topic.



I remember christine85 get a lot offer d, not sure which one to choose. Check few pages back.

blasturanus, good luck on other companies interview during the TEC.

thx allenultra,

guess it's gonna be Petronas 4 me..

i'll be graduating this coming august, but got an offer from BH and SLB... i turned down BH due because the position is not really related to the course im studying now.... for the moment, i'll still be trying out for Exxon Mobile as well...

IC , which Uni r u from?

oh ya... for those who're interested in Exxon Mobile, one of the Geoscientists manager from exxon told us that there is a new program now for fresh grad. It is a 3 years program, where in this 3 years, u'll be assigned a mentor to see ur progress, and u'll also be changed from one department to another in ur field, being sent off for trainings and study at houston school etc. the purpose is to help u realize and determine the department tat you really like and interested in. After the 3 years, u'll be able to choose the any department that u wan to join, provided that there is vacancy for you so that you could perform as good as u could, as it will be ur choice and preference. This is a very good program, i believe, based on the concept that one could perform best when one is doing things that he or she really interested in.

How to apply for that program? Thanks

err... actually, it is a program which every fresh grad tat join Exxon will have to take i think, so, there's no specific way for applying it... just try to summit your resume via online application will do.....

christine85, ure a lucky girl since u take the course in USM. most of big OnG company looking for ur course graduates during this time and summore the oil pricing is keep increasing.

i think so too, cause i never know about this course until the i was recommendation from a teacher when i got my sptm result... done really badly for tat public exam tat time, that makes me dun hav any other choice but to choose this course. Otherwise i'll be applying other courses like pharmacy or medic... but feel relieve after tat because its quite interesting plus it promise both the short and long term benefits .....

Can i know how is the pay for the 3 years program that you mentioned earlier? 3 years for the same amount or will increase or how it work out?

im not sure... cause i've just went through the first interview.... but the manager said that ur future is determined in the first 5 years, whether u stay as the staff there, or u could become the CEO after tat, based on ur performance.. i dunno whether its true or not, but that is what the geoscientist told us when he came to interview us..

Future depends on your first 5 years, which mean you have to work like dog and tomorrow never comes for the next 5 years just to see your capability and attitude towards the company, after promote you to something, you still need to work like superdog for day and night. I believe thats what he trying to tell you.

Not really, he is an ex-student of USM, been working for exxon mobile for 27 years.. i asked him, what makes him stay so long in exxon mobile... he said that he see the good sides of the company in long term. it is a company which value u a lot... he spends 27 years there working in different departments. he said he enjoy it, cause whenever he's bored of one job, he'll shift to another department, which means that he's a very experienced person in many different field in this industry. he said he saw twice downturn of oil and gas industry, but since exxon mobile is a huge company, at least it could still sustain the employees, instead of fired some of them to save cost... of course there are some other companies that offer him better pay, but still, he sticks wt Exxon, because the benefits offered by other companies is maybe attractive only in short term, but not really beneficial when looking into it in long term. One more thing is that the program that i mention just now is good enough to show that they value the working interest of the employee, instead of paying u high salary and do anything as they say(which as u said, working like a dog). At least u got the chance to choose... one more interesting thing about their interviewing style. the manager brought us to the equitorial hotel to have buffet lunch for free, just to talk with us and shared his experience he gained in the industry. It's so relax and makes us feel really free to ask anything we like. about the interview session, its a normal chatting, with some technical things, if u have had an internship before, and guess wat, again, the process is not tense at all. If feels like your're talking to a friend, and again, u could ask for his opinion on ur future career. His answer is not biased at all. From his attitude and all the things i've seen from him, i guess that he really enjoy what he is doing and the best thing is that he is not cocky at all... i dunno whether its the same for other employees in Exxon mobile or not, but frankly, i've gone through 5 times of interview for oil and gas company, but this one is the best. I'm not judging based on the free buffet of course , but the good attitude of a manager, successful, yet humble and friendly.

This called creative, their interview will go in these kind of style.

Anyone worked with JDC before?
