Not really boss...I'm just a roughneck..

Do you means the Top Drive System?
http://www.nov.com/Drilling/Top_Drive_Syst...Top_Drives.aspx

I saw in the nov website, they hv hydraulic TDS mainly for land rigs. I never been to a land rig.

I guess there is something wrong with the individual or the way they market themselves especially for the fresh grads.

I saw A LOT of openings either from BIG service companies, local companies as well as the operating companies. In the newspapers or in the internet.

Maybe it is not your rezeki yet BUT I guess it is good to listen to the senior's advise in this forum..look back at your CV and yourself, are you being too choosy?

Or maybe you're proactive enough. I know from my x-colleague that the fresh grads from his university used to walk in to the companies and hand over their CV..but I believe not all companies we can just walk in.

Good luck guys...

I wonder if you guys from a top-ranked university and from top & hottest course in the university don't you have a good alumni member in the industry? Perhaps some of them now a Sr. Eng or Managers that you can contact and ask for advise.

Or you are a kind of person that not really have a good relationship with the seniors or peers. Not bother about the 'networking' factor....

I'm myself not really good in our course 'persatuan' and worse is not really know our juniors. Fortunately, we get along with our senior batch as some of the seniors taking same subject with us (extend 1-2 semesters are common during my time/ in my uni). Besides 'rezeki', one of the factor that I can't ignore is that I knew my senior working there and the recruitment manager that time also knew him very well.

So just my 1 cent, start building up your networking not only when in the industry but from 1st day in Uni; with your peers, seniors and also juniors as well as lecturers...Who knows they will acknowledge and willing to help you later.

Goodluck...
