hi there, first of all, welcome, its my pleasure to share my experience and opinions. Bout the internship, i would advice u to go for it. Actually last time when i was shell there's a intern from holland who actually did the internship twice in Malaysia here. i dunno why, but i think its because her dad is in shell, and she could gain more experience and try new things in different department to reveal her interest in oil and gas industry. Today, u're given a chance to start it early, so, i think it will be good for u to try it out. I mean, u can also have it for the second time if u like it after u experience it for the first time. frankly it will be a good thing to be written in ur resume because at least it reflect that u're a kind of person who likes to learn new things. Trust me, though i havent start to work, i believe tat nobody wan to involve in technical thing for the rest of their life. perhaps after 10 or 20 years, many ppl would like to switch to the management side which is less tedious and could earn even more money. Also, u could get a picture for urself of which line tat would make u interested in more. Believe me, ppl with more experience is always more precious than book worm because it could make u look further into the future and ideas given by experienced ppl is always more concrete and useful as well. So, my advice it, start to involve in the society earlier, get the experience, and never stop learning. all da best!

ok thanks for the advice, i guess i have to stay back in aussie during the summer. Shell Malaysia is really an aggressive employer in a sense they hire the best, my prof. told me the top student last year was employed by shell sarawak with generous pay-check, accomodation paid for and also not to mention business class return trip back home. anyway all the best to you too, i hope you will continue to give info to those who wants to venture in the oil industry, and thanks for the advice.

Hey i was wondering whether this is the standard salary for O&G industry for fresh grad now. Are there better companies that provide much better pay for fresh grad?

I've got first class from overseas uni in my CV, but so far i don't think there's any difference than other workers who came in without a good degree.

I know Aker Kvaner has reviewed their salary to 2.5k, but still it's not alot.

I'm thinking of changing job right now bcoz many ppl in my department are leaving. Any advice for me as in where I should go?

Does other comp like Technip, RNZ, Ranhill Worley, Shell, Petronas or Schlumberger offer better for fresh grad?
(Btw I've read some horror experience on working with Schlumberger and Petronas, so I might rule it out for now)

This is wat offered by Schlumberger...i would say SLB wont look to whether ur 1st class or not...i got frens who got 1st class but she failed in 2nd round....but one of my frens she got second class upper n even me is 3.13/4.00 -> we get the job...they want all rounders not bookworms....

kevinling, How did you apply for SLB? Did you apply through their website or by some other way?

Are you an engineering grad? Do you know if SLB is taking IT grads?

Thanks.

oooo... but y u reject arr?? got a better offer meh??? dialog got a lot of subsidiaries.... if piping then ok lorrr... i wanna try,ehehe coz i've read the career opportunities

need advice. is anyone in TL Offshore? and what does a hook up & commissioning engineer does?

Has anyone experienced the Nippon Oil Exploration Malaysia (NOEX) graduate program?

What about Technip? What range of salary do they offer for freshies?

I applied for Shell through their website but I didn't get it....very disappointed now. I'm really interested in getting an internship with them and then going back to Borneo to work there where my home is, but that's no longer the case. Anybody know about any Shell subsidiaries operating in Sabah?

It sucks that they did not provide a reason for the rejection. I suspect it's to do with my ill-preparation of my resume (I left out some important details). It would have been better if they have replied with some reason for rejection so I know where to improve on next. Oh well...

What is your CGPA? Any work experience?

I applied for their Student Internship position along with my classmate. Both our CGPA together was around 3.5x (as of the time of appliction, because we are still 2nd year 2nd sem) but he got to interview and I was rejected flat out. Sad. And my Co-co experience was more cos I involved myself in more activities on the SRC but apparently that didn't count.

i recieved a call for the final interview for SLB recently and the position is something to do with Well Testing Services. can anyone tell me more about this field? and what to expect for the final interview?
