Seriously, some companies especially in the O&G are looking for people who knows what they are doing. Even if you have zero experience, they can tell if you have spent time tailoring your resume to the specific companies or specific position you are applying for. You do not need to know the scope of work of the position to be able to tailor your CV/Resume ..

This shows to the companies that you have taken time to investigate what the companies do in the industry (niche engineering, fabrications etc etc) and going through this thread and asking some information on some of the companies will help you tailor your CV.

You need to show to the person who is reviewing your CV that you are an innovative person and tailoring your Cv is one of that.

Good evening,

I'm doing my Diploma in Mechanical Engineering(Manufacturing) in Politeknik and will be graduating by the end of 2014. Currently i'm doing good,maintaining CGPA >3.0 and i'm interested in joining the OnG industry, preferably Schlumberger (FE, FS , MT). Question, is it too early to start applying by next January? as I heard the process from applying to interviewing to getting the job can take up a lot of time. I'm trying not to waste time sitting at home once I graduate. And as a freshie to be, how can I stand out among the other students to be accepted for interviews from OnG companies since all of us will have a diploma? Should I go for welding/OSH courses during my holidays and get a few certs? With a diploma can I apply for FE? or am I only eligible for FS and MT.

Thanks in advance.

Great opinion.thank you so much..erm does petroleum geologist gets to work 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off like people who work offshore ?
Actually what is FS and FE ?

but there are cases like a few of my friends got hired as a field specialist even they are holding a degree.do you know why?

What's with FE vs FS? You think you're too good to become just FS when you know the minimum requirement is diploma? Wah wah wah.......

hye.. actly how to answer an interview questions about our private life? for example "do you have a girlfriend?".. some ong company always ask their single status candidate.. do they just want to test our commitment toward offshore/field works? or maybe there are some other reasons??
