okay, but here's my story.

graduated in chemical engineering.

first job, I got into biotech company but then the project delayed until its closed down - so its like no experience at all

2nd job, after searching a lot of engineering jobs, then proceed to finding management jobs randomly, i got into management trainee in insurance cmpany

I just dont want to be unemployed for a long time like before my first job.
So right now, I would really like to try again in engineering companies as I wanted to be in it.

@sylar2000 TQ for your input

which industry were you working in when you got the Ir status?

Wah so fast you get Jurutera Kompetent 33kV.. work in OnG somemore, so nicee... i thought must have 5 years experience wan? Just get ah? Or did you work for TNB first to get it?

1) First point right! Unfortunately the chemical engineering i learnt is very general to be honest. just theory etc.. not specific into job skills
2) Big companies, yeah, they wouldnt look at me at all. been to Petronas interview, got the reply the next day still disappointed
3) I want to start from bottom but even smaller companies had doubt with me, i really dont care to do hardcore works lol
4) truee.. but im really clueless on what is wrong
Mind sharing your success stories?  

not true about Petronas.

about 7 ppl from my batch of 30 people got into petronas. half of them are woman  . mostly in Kerteh la. one in kedah . none in klcc ( I would want too haha)    

wasted your youth? how? 

Mind sharing where you work sir? or bro? hehe

Do you think I can still get into engineering industries, because u know, i'm currently have literally 0 experience and right now in insurance company?

Any advice?
