Hei am from UNITEN too,  graduated about a month ago.
50 applications isnt enough, I made 324 applications during my final semester. Secured a job before final exam started.
U should try harder.

Haha it depends. 324 applications really paid off in my case.  Not to say that i didnt invest enough on my resume, its just that the experience attending a lot of interviews and going thru different kind of recruitment process can really boost confidence and boarden your option.

Really paid off.

I heard it from my observations and hearsay :-D

Ok I shouldn't have called it a fact, and it's still a much-debated topic. But it was obvious to me through all the relevant job postings that a degree was sufficient. Only in majors like Geology would a Master's be indicated, which is the industry norm. The way I see it from the companies perspective, is that a bachelor's degree is sufficient in proving that the individual is competent in carrying out the task. Why then should they employ the fresh MSc/PhD holder over the fresh degree holder, if they have to provide a higher salary. The value of a MSc holder is his depth of knowledge. Unfortunately some companies don't value this extra knowledge. In a high risk, high reward environment, yes the skills of a MSc holder would be highly appreciated, an example would be the field of reservoir engineering; you don't want to overestimate reserves and end up losing millions of ringgit. But for the bulk of jobs out there that are relevant to petroleum engineering; a bachelor's degree is sufficient. And I'm pretty sure it's the same scenario in the US; most PE students do the MSc program not to escape the horrible job search but because they're genuinely interested in research. Proof being that MSc programs have very high undergrad CGPA requirements.

wow so many mirian. my friend that went on to study degree also no luck except for one. he got lobang until father which work as manyger in Dyang lol.

haizz.. me after call for interview no news watsoever.. the waiting part is killing me

petra and dayang are more towards offshore based, for engineer .. i'm a process engineer.. i dont mind going into project management though.. just need a chance to go back miri..

wow.. thats good. my ex kolik is signed as process engineer. i guess she'll be one of the big guns in the future

is there any program like in petronas or shell where they "upgrade" their technicians?
i heard my uncle did it once. previously only diploma but now he got degree under P sponsorship   just curious

i will be doing my offshore medical check up this week. i just want to ask is it hard to pass? i'm kinda worried but i don't have any health problems though

bro boleh bagitau test apa je yg dorang conduct ea? nak tau gak

If you don't have health issues, then there should not be a problem. But do know that sometimes "body cavity check" is required.

p/s: that "thumbs up" means something else.

Right on the spot  .  Service role for vessel and rigs. Are you by any chance working in this particular field? I was wondering if this job allows me to join the OnG sector in the future. Currently, I had 2 offers,  one to work as service engineer and the other is system engineer for a DCS company. The thing is the service job is offered in SG, while DCS is at Malaysia. So, salary is hugely reduced if i were to pick the Malaysia job. But I didnt know how important cranes are in OnG until my friend told me about it.

Been looking for a OnG telecommunication work for quite sometime, but yet no reply.
I think my CV with the degree title Electronics Engineering majoring in Telecommunication making the HR to think twice.
haihzz..
