Wow, if that is the case, you may have to take out a personal loan to pay for the bond.

But how did they calculate how much you "owe"?

I assume pro-rata is a given. Any further discounts on top of that?

Some of my friends that left claim that they only had to pay a relatively small amount. Just wondering what your experience was.

Hi every one. Is it true that petronas always hired sum1 that have 'cable' and petronas scholar? It's so hard for public being recruited by petronas. Feel free to leave ur comments. Thanks.

When did u applied? U need to bear in mind that there are tons of Pet scholar in every batch, n they all entitled to SI. Each year got three batch. So, u just need to be better than them to get their attention  Plus, 2014 shows some sour operation in OnG. so, not much job posting compare to last year. some of them even closed down their business (newfields etc) 

even if you have cable or know someone, you have to meet their criteria and pass all the interview stages.

Interview with Petronas on the 14th.Already working for WorleyParsons. Interested in Process Safety Role if available by Petronas. Anyone knows if Petronas deals with Process Safety or do they outsource it to other companies?

So, are there always vacancies in PETRONAS?
You can't see shit in their website though.

How often does PETRONAS organize Structured Interviews (SI)?

Thanks for the info!
I'm quite surprised to learn that they hold SI every week.
On their website, there seems to be no vacancies for entry level positions though so I just created an account, updated my profile, uploaded my CV, registered my interests and released it. I'm just wondering how you get picked up by the HR if you don't apply for anything. 

I'm not really hopeful. This is just to satisfy my curiosity. 

Thanks for the infor.

Done with your SI? How was it? Mind to share your SI experience?

congrats on your newborn! 

Fuhhh. Queue kat Petronas paling long at Graduan Aspire fair just now. Second is Shell, and both side by side

Eh, one question, driller kat PETRONAS paling high pay for fresh grad kah? PETRONAS beritau driller paling valuable..

Actually yes. like how people should not try to topple the government and voice their frustration. as if that's gonna change things. in fact, i also lazy to talk on stuff like this, i'm triggered by an earlier bro here who voiced the same concern. the HR process and discoverpetronas thingy looks like a gimmick to us. in fact i wonder if they ask us to fill in our details during those fairs is to check in their system whether this person had already applied and if he does, there's nonid to consider another of his application as not to waste time and energy.

With my experience, I'm as good as to be considered as fresh grad except that i applied for two years with no news. not even phone intv, chit chat, let alone SI n a job. U got in, ur qualified, congratulations. But even then, how i notice some of my friends working in 'lower level' segment but they are actually good, and being looked down upon by the other upstream people. i myself nvmla, sudah biasa looked down and misunderstood on. when i see this, memangla this made me damn angry when i see so many acuh x acuh students also can enter petronas.
i got more angry bcuz as time prolongs, those people are just going to live better and for us people in "lower" segments, we worked like dog and seen as dogs except we don't get good bones as compensation.

other companies ? right. tell me how many other companies provide a road for fresh grad ? job in O&G for degree holder is so scarce except engineering and even then it's not a niche thing so it's only reasonable. principles are easily understood all the time but because i truly experienced those hardships, i "feel". Not to say to join O&G for money, money is never a great concern to me, but i just need to cari makan but sadly, my qualifications limit me to O&G. outside of O&G, i'm being treated as a criminal of having work in O&G because they can never brain why i find jobs in HR, marketing , IT and i can't even get a diploma job in those areas without experience and a relevant degree. and now i must make u understd why i keep applying for petronas. Shell dun even lend an eye to me. I even applied those what uzma, intelek whatsoever malay associated smaller companies, and it's not surprising as to they don't bother me as well regardless of my relevant qualifications.

Surely petronas is not the only company out there. in fact, o&g is not the only thing out there too. i might as well just sell my butt.

I know you're frustrated, but there is really no point for you to take it out on Petronas scholars. To be really honest, I can guarantee you that those scholars are multiple times better than most regulars on LYN, and therefore deserved that place.

You posted as though those scholars are ultimately lucky, and landed upon the sponsorship without any trouble or stresses.
These scholars obtain the sponsorship through
1)  minimum SPM requirements which bordered on excellence (7A+, with Add Math and Sciences such as Physics, Chemistry for technical sides) with extracurriculars of leadership values.
2) interviews that include personal interview, case study and group discussion (sounds familiar? These are similar to the ones graduates are doing but they are merely high school graduates),
3) written examinations that include General Ability Test (Raven's Progressive Matrices), Chemistry, Physics and Add Math,
All those in one day. Don't you forget that they are merely high school graduates, and aside from those, compete against a larger pool of applicants nationwide.
See do you fit those criteria above first; if you say those doesn't matter because high school has long passed, then visualize that they can do well since high school, why can't you?

Now, after the sponsorship, they are posted to pre-u for their intended countries; these are ADP or A-Levels. Now, to be able to proceed, they must get an offer from Top 10-20 universities of their fields based on the Gourman Report. Otherwise, a breach of contract and you'll have to pay all of it back.
Now, have you gotten an offer from that?

After the offer, they'll have to maintain a CGPA of 3.5 in their pre-u. Else, their offer is wasted and have to try for one last time the next year as a transfer student which has much lower admission rate, aside from the fact that the schools must be Top 10-20. They have to individually score on international tests such as the SAT, SAT Subject Tests, A-Level, IELTS or TOEFL.
Now, did you maintain a CGPA of 3.5 at your pre-u? This is not MARA, so don't think these scholars can so easily negotiate for a waiver if they did not obtain 3.5. Have you even tried the SAT and at least two SAT Subject Tests?

Once they're there, they have to maintain a CGPA of 3.0. Now, I'm not sure about the other countries, but I'm the USA, most schools apply the 93-95 A, 90-92 A- 85-89 B+ strict grading. This makes it a little more difficult in maintaining 3.0 CGPA aside from the stresses of culture shock and new systems.
Now, did you obtain at least 3.0 in your engineering degree throughout with such a grading and external pressure?
Remember that a breach of contract constitutes a repayment of 100% of the expenditure they spent on you.

After all that, yes, they'll have a priority in getting the interview but going through the interview is the same process. You can say they may have an unofficial priority, but looking back to all the amazing feats they sustained, why wouldn't they? I can bet that any of those scholars can speak, debate and pitch better in English and BM than most. Otherwise, how can they score on their SAT, IELTS and TOEFL, and mandatory English classes in university, or in the first place, their SPM Eng and BM?

I have been a somewhat consultant to other students so I do know what does it feel like for them.
If you're the above, congratulations! You deserve the job and the interviewers are idiots.
But if you don't, try not to constantly quote them as though they are lucky bastards who do not deserve their place. Be grateful.

kalau dah ditetapkan rezeki olehNYA tak kan kemana...

Its ok. my butt should be quite marketable. Keke

After a 2 year wait, I've just been told that I've been shortlisted for SI. 

So, the waiting game begins now? 

Patience is something of a luxury to me right now because my current company is looking to bond me for 5 years. 

IMO bonus yg u dapat still okey if your basic is high 

I have worked in Petronas before,If we take into account only Malaysians..... when people from 1 particular ethnicity account to about 90%-95% .
You just k-n-o-w something is very wrong somewhere 

but ppl memang badly wanna masuk. Lol
Line kat Graduan Aspire fair panjang giler. Resumes everywhere.
3 long queues in front of touchscreen tablets nak register on the spot.. And itu pula pukul 12pm, oni satu jam from opening.
