to have an (updated) profile is a must for a call.
frankly, i've never applied just park my cv and update profile.

that is too vague my dear. perhaps u could start with "why petronas"? then it could be easier to guide.

Oh, I just want a change of work environment. I have been teaching music for 4 years now and I get paid through commission, so my income is not stable enough. Music teaching is not exactly my forte but that was the only job I could get around with since I used to learn at the same place. I wanted to get a different job and perhaps get a possibly higher income than what I used to have, so that I could at least ease the burden of my parents and also myself. I'm doing online classes at OUM so I pretty much don't have anything to do during the weekdays (right now I'm still teaching though). The Petronas is closer to where I live too compared to having to work at KK.

So...I hope that explains much?

i applied for the vacancy that they have on that time. my guess is they called me cos i have experience in doing supplier and contract stuffs during my internship last time.

Thanks msismail!

Went for the SI yesterday. Mentally & physically exhausting, the whole process took about 3 hours (1 yr waiting time filling up the form & read case study & 2 hrs of interview). Basically there's 3 sections to the interview, 1 - intro & get-to-know you session 2-case study given 3-specific examples based on your experience in targeting areas like perseverance, problem-solving skills etc. The interview is not tough but just exhausting, my last few jobs interviews have always been casual sitting at cafes sipping coffees, the SI is too proper.

It took them 2 months to arrange the chit-chat session from the 1st point of contact from HR. About 3-4 months before calling me for SI. I don't think I would want to put much hope in it to know whether I go through for placement. The process is long. But I guess it depends 'coz some I read in the forum, they have gotten the replies & offer very fast within few weeks.

And one of the interviewer's body language doesn't seems to favour me much. oh well, life goes on hehe

Is there any openings in Petronas? I am considered as SPM only as I am planning to hold my bachelor degree in Psychology and Mass Comm as I have been struck by financial issue and I decided to earn my living and continue my syllabus later. Any sifus from Petronas can help me with this?

I was looking through the web, i see some companies are registered with petronas.... This means they are petronas supplier? How do i know it is still valid or not?
My assumption is when there is registration, there will be an expiry....

U didn't ask the HR incharged? During my SI last time, she said normally >2hrs or so in the room (interview session) is a positive sign, not a guarantee tho.

Gudlak!!

Yeap, companies that wish to do biz with petronas have to register. Biz for example supply of goods/services/consultation and such.

So out of curiosity, all those company with the registration are real?
No one dare to make counterfeit license? Or is there a site to verify them company?????

Anyone just passed the SI interview without an offer? Appreciate your help.

No issue. Petronas has their own database and registered companies will have PETRONAS SAP access.

y would u curious about that? yeap, PETRONAS got SAP system, meaning to say each reg company will have a unique code.

u can ask them to give you their latest copy of the license. otherwise you may call directly Petronas hotline to double check.

so far i never experience a "fake" petronas vendor.

Hi..Just wanna share my T.A exp session yesterday.

Submit to a friend my CV and got a called a week later to attend the T.A session.Previously was inform the opening is for OPI dept so my mentality alrdy set for OPI link type of question.Having my T.A via skype video conference with 1 manager and 2 sr technical guys as all of them currently in oversea. The exp i must is really nightmare. The question being asked is really technical and details.Is like having a university exam but verbally need to answer the question.They ask me like was is the value for bla bla bla bla..is a fact value..how am i suppose to remember all this thing.As im from telecom exp, they actually ask me a technical question for each telecom system.I thought they only ask only general question like functionality or architecture of a system, but they ask a question something like what is the lowest value for light remittance in order to have a good camera that can see in dark..omg!how i my suppose to remember that..they actually have a book in front of them for their reference to ask me a question with answer.If i answer wrongly,they will mention the correct answer for me.The worst part is, they ask me about instrument thing which i dont have exp at all.Yes im a degree holder in E&E majoring in instrumentation but already graduated last 5 years and working in telecom side.In the end, they inform me that the interview is for instrument engineer not for OPI executive. Wow, now wonder why HR don't want to inform me when i ask for what position. The T.A conference last for 2 hours. I got big headache after the session.Just pray for me that i pass the T.A and call up for SI and get hired.

Good luck, updates us on your status

cool TA. mine was merely what-do-you-do-now-as-a-piping-engineer kinda questions.

All the very best. Hope you make it. For rest of you guys please do well especially during the SI session. Its very important. My 2 cent advice, Kindly polish your presentation skill and read alot of the current issues such as pollution, health, ebola for the case study. Be confident and do not show them that you are nervous. Passing the SI is the biggest hurdle.
Though passing SI do not guarantee placement but it put you on the right track to progress. Sincere advice. Read more on the job that you applying.

bro, they just want to pressure you and see how you react/solution when you get pressured badly. That's one of their main objective. SI more on management and soft skills. Anyway, good luck. Get interview more, then you can be confident liao.
