Hey, saw your post and feel like replying. but these are all based on my anecdotal experience. results may varies from one to another.
Graduated on the Jan 2013 with B.eng Petroleum Engineering from UTP. Not a Petronas scholar, so I am not bounded with the ten-year contract.
Applied to various service providers, interviewed by some and it all boils down to this " they prefer someone from the Mechanical/Electrical/Civil instead of Petroleum". So, being a Petroleum Engineering graduate you just minimised the scope of your prospect to the operator company only (mostly). I applied Aker Subsea but was put in the procurement department cause my Petroleum Engineering knowledge cant be put into use at the Subsea Business unit. Now, to counter this recurring problem, I put ' Mechanical Engineer- Specialized in Petroleum Engineering' in my resume. greater chance to be selected for the intvw.
Owhh, but why OnG company prefer other engineer instead of petroleum? Isn't petroleum engineering focus all about petroleum which better for them?Graduated on the Jan 2013 with B.eng Petroleum Engineering from UTP. Not a Petronas scholar, so I am not bounded with the ten-year contract.
