pls do share with us your experience...
btw, which major u in?

Hi shashin91, waaa so how did the phone interview go? Mind sharing what went down?

Had my "teleconference" phone interview earlier today.
Questions are non-technical, and conducted by HR person.
Example ques: tell me a time when you faced challenges, how you solved them, what action you took, etc.
Questions cover more on leadership, problem solving, team work.
Lasted around 20 mins.

Some information that I acquired from the interviewer
- pay RM3000 (basic) + Rm300 (travel allowance)
- 8 months rotation between departments (8months x3, mostly based in westport)
- this position is considered as permanent, not contract-based
- only 10 slots available for this intake (but pls don't be disheartened/discouraged)

Good luck to those who are waiting for teleconference session, and prepare well.

Yup, pretty much the same questions as mine. And along the lines of that particular situation, she asked related questions, to know in depth. After finishing the questions about team work and leadership, she moved on to a bit of HSE questions.

Will receive result in 2 weeks time and if succeed, will go through a group technical assessment, to see how we work in a team.

RM 300 travel allowance?, so you can't claim based on mileage?

don't quote me on this,
the job doesn't require travelling.
but Aker Solution's plant is deep inside Pulau Indah, hence they give rm300 flat rate travel allowance.

*double posted*

Well that's very nice of them. Their Port Klang office is quite (i mean really) far. Even if you stay in Shah Alam, it will take around 40 minutes by car to get there. Not sure about the traffic though. While if you take the KTM to Port Klang station, it will take another 20 minutes to drive there.

You must drive there, too far..

How about become a subsea worker? Either ROV or diving personnel?

Sat divers earn more than a thousand dollar US per day. Work for a month job place you in a 6 figure income group already.

Why become an engineer (especially you, office based engineer)? As when you come on board you are the cheapest labour there. 3,000 MYR a month? Oh man.

EDIT: Oh because you love engineering but not that keen to actually DO STUFF in the water (but you took subsea engineering WTF), how about get a CSWIP 3.4u ticket (4,XXX USD for the course and exams), and land yourself a 700-1,000 USD per day career.

With a month job pay, you can pay the argentum dei of an apartment in KL. Or buy a Ducati in CASH.

Oh you said sales line also make this kind of money? Of course but that's not SUBSEA.

Still better than your measly 3,000 MYR. PERIOD.

mine is on the 18th too! good luck!

Truly indeed , I have done it ! Which I have earn my 1st 5 figure salary last month.

Shift the future.

once you learnt the subsea knowledge and u can start jump ship if you don't like the salary.
for me, i think we can learn many things from this knd of company.

Well yeah I agree wif u..but then..to get a cswip or all the cert, its require some amount of money where the fresh grad cant afford..by right we need that money to do certs rite..so work in an office first, get some money then go to do the cert..loan is not applicable due to the fresh grad automatically has a loan dat our gov implement call as ptptn..

hello..i just got a phone call from Mr Anthony and he want to invite me for a call interview..normally what kind of question they will ask?...how many stage of interview i have to attend beside phone interview untill they offer the job? thanks for the info k

Hey there. I see they're still calling candidates for phone interview. I had mine last week, and she said they'll be in touch in 2 weeks time where if succeeded, we'll go to a technical assessment, which I believe will be a group thing, and after that only they will call for a face-to-face interview.

The questions could differ but I was asked about the time where I worked in a team, what were the challenges and how I managed them, the phone interview took about 25-30 minutes. Good luck with your phone interview, and be prepared!

Subsea Engineer onboard of drilling rigs can earn usd 5 figures per month plus subsea premium plus foreign service premium plus one month off....

But yeah i met one guy during UWILD. He earned 20k during his degree time, doing part time as comercial diver.
