Hey, I am in the same boat as the previous poster above. Who should I call, the HR or the Hiring Manager? I passed my SI and they called me countless of times since Feb to set a date. I set a date and change afterwards because they didn't reply and give me any confirmation.

So should I call them again? I haven't done the medical check up. They told me I got the position but now I am not sure anymore. Any advise would help. Thanks.

Same case, you should chase HR. Btw, mayI know what position and which division th eoffer you?

After the second interview last Friday, the HR made some call to my referees. My referees informed me that they need to fill up a set of questionnaires and have to submit it within a day.

Today, I have received a call from HR. She informed me that I have been shortlisted. And she renegotiated my expected salary. Damn she brought it lower. She told me to wait for a week or two before they decide on hiring me as their staff provided my medical record shows a positive result. This is so stressful.

Hi all, just sharing my experience here and have a question. Im a fresh grad.

I've been called to Petronas interview, the technical assessment first, then for the "chit-chat" session with the department head, personally, one on one. Then I got a mail of recommendation to proceed to SI. This is the second week after I got the mail but no any news yet for the SI , when and where.

The technical assessment is as the name suggest, asking for technical knowledge related to the field you are applying. Mostly technical questions and a bit problem solving.

The "chit-chat" session is with the department manager/ head (might not be the technical assessment interviewer) which he/she wish to know more about you and decide whether you should go for the SI or not.

My question is how long to wait for the SI call? The department head told me one of two weeks after the "chit-chat" but is the SI organized by HR? I believe different cases should experience different waiting time i suppose? just want to have some idea form who've had experienced it, and should I call the talent sourcing person to follow-up? thankyou.

I thought TA is only for experience candidates. Btw try to call/email regarding your result. Me also waiting for SI result actually. Already 2weeks after my SI session.

not sure, got TA as the first interview. My situation is like before yours, 2 weeks in waiting for my SI but dont know when. After SI then I reach same stage as you. how long in between after your first interview to SI?

Patience is the key. Mine is 5 months from TA to SI.

I dont have any interview before SI. Submitted resume on november 2013 and SI 4 months after that(march 2014). And yes,patience is key! Hehe. Best of luck geng!

Thank you I have a picture now. All the best !

patience is the key here. last time, it take me 9 months from my 1st interview until i start the job at petronas. right now, i attached to international project, travelling around the world is a must (for inspection etc). now in Seoul for 3 weeks. sight seeing while doing inspection.

urgh....envy u!

Hi, can someone send me the email address of Petronas ICT? I'm interested in applying for IT security department.

Does anyone work at Petronas ICT security department?

Okay, thank you!

Finally, medical check up.

Demmm I Jelly ..... lepas ni sure get Enrich Platinum one.

Just want to ask for anyone that knows, what is the current procedure if you wish to leave PETRONAS before serving your scholarship bond? I have served ~6.5 / 10.

Is it still pay lump sum or in instalments? If instalments - any idea the period involved or is that based on discussion with ESU / HR?

Before, they allowed for you to pay pro-rata based on the time you have served your bond. I had to pay 7400 ringgit for missing 3 months before completing my 10 year bond. Obviously I paid the amount in one go.

A good friend of mine finished paying his just last year I think. I think he managed to pay in in instalments for 10 or 15 years, I am not sure.

Now I have also heard that they no longer allow this so .... all sorts of stories going around. Very difficult to discuss this properly with ESU/HR because then they will know that you plan to leave. Catch 20-20 situation here.

They actually hire a recovery management (3rd party) to collect all the loan. So, it's really tough to deal with them since they'll aim to get as much collection (lump sum) as possible as that is their KPI.

No collection, no pay....tagline.

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

I suggest go for EPF Account 2. but try to nego first. they'll be tough at first but just play along. I managed to get installment plan suit to my financial.

the good thing is, there's no interest imposed.
