I am in Baker Hughes' side of LWD in Qatar, and nearing my third year with them. From my experience, you should be earning around RM18~20K/month if you can can lead jobs and become essential part of the local pool of field engineers (able to run high-profit margin (high-level) LWD suite of tools). If you can get to RPS (radiation protection supervisor), you're already well over RM20K/month!

i was wondering does Gebeng Technical Training Centre ( GTTC), pahang, The training/workshop, is it suitable for fresh grad like me to take the training or it is only for those people who already work in O&G to enhance their knowledge & skill ?

anyone have any idea?

Been grad since last year Dec, thinking go for a technical training since very hard to get a jobs nowadays.

Fyi, i'm engineering graduate and wish to join O&G field in future. brows.gif

Well these are indeed tough times for fresh graduates to secure a good or desired job. I think better if fresh graduates can pursue masters or just find jobs that can accumulate experience, to increase self value and etc.

About O&G, is it hard to enter the industry? I find it difficult myself ... cry.gif

Some tips for freshies, put more focus on newspaper jobs advertisement rather than online job search (jobstreet, jobsdb, monsters etc) if u guys really wanna join o&g field. The reason is very simple b'cos most of the jobs posted online required few years exp in o&g before even consider your application. While jobs posted in newspaper are mostly suitable for freshies who just graduated and willing to learn.

Chances to get an interview also higher compare to online application. There are thousands online application for a single opening. The screening process is wide and time consuming. If someone apply directly by mail, I can say his chances for an interview is high.

Freshies need to be more patient. I've even spent 6 months to land my job in o&g. So, you don't think you can simply land ur dream job if you just apply for 2-3 months ago. Believe me, screening process take time as there are tonne's of ppl wanna join this pond:D. Your application need to stand out among the best in the pool.

Good luck to all freshies.
