Hi and hello to all Otai2 O&G

I'm new here pardon for my foolishness lol. Fuhhh took me a while to read from first post until latest in this v5 thread. Gain a lot of useful information regarding o&g in malaysia. Got 4 more thread to khatam haha.

I just graduate as Mechanical Engineer last july at not so-popular-uni in uk. My result is 2-1 and I spent most of my summer time either travel or doing part time in uk and now I regret because I dont have any internship experiece . My question is where should I start my career as i would like to join o&g industry very much? I plan to join small service provider to gain basic knowledge/skills and I dont mind the salary too since I got zero knowledge in o&g yet. I already apply and send my resumes to random hr email i got and I dunno what is the correct way to apply. Should be thru the main website or phone call or hand in resume at office?

Sorry for the long post
tl:dr Im a newbie need some help :<

Thank you for the advice! I applied to schlumberger before but no respond from them. Should I call the slb office in malaysia just to follow up? Yeah thats the disadvantage right now as I dont have any contact within company atm. I'm going to spend next week at selangor/kl to hand in my resume to few o&g offices. wish me luck guys!

Hi guys,
Anyone here working with Transwater? I got invite for an interview for Sales Engineer position. Can someone advise me on what should i prepare and what questions should i expect beside the normal thing (introduce urself,your fyp,ur strength/weakness)?Im a fresh graduate with Mechanical Eng background and this job required at least 1 or 2 yrs working so i kinda afraid they will just reject me when they see i dont have any exp lol. anyway i will give it a shot.

Talking about Master and Bachelor degree, I sometime feel that most company think Master is overqualified. I spoke to some recruitment firm during careers fair and they think the same way. I am myself a MEng holder in Mechanical Engineering and have been unemployed for about 4 months. I try not to be choosy by apply a lot of small/big companies but i guess my effort is not hard enough to secure a job in oil and gas.

Hi guys,

I have been offered a job opportunity as entry level engineer in one of major shipyard company. I want to ask if i want to expand my career growth toward oil ans gas industry is this going to be a good start? Or should i seek for a better option? Btw im a fresh grad in mechanical engineering

Hi thanks for the advice. and in the meantime I also got an offer from a mnc manufacturing company as a permanent worker and better salary. I know I should not care for the salary much as a fresh grad but would it be better for me to choose the manufacturing company instead of the shipyard company since future ong company (perhaps) that i would like to join doesnt really care about my prior experience? Need some advice on this from sifus

I see. Thanks for the advice/info! Its really help me to decide which job offer i should pursue.
