Thanks for your reply. I’ll have a word with HR on this. 😊

It is good for you to build your portfolio for the next 2-years.

In term of benefits, almost the same as permanent staff except the EPF contribution from company the % is lower than for the permanent staff, there’s no dental & spectacles benefit, there’s no increment throughout your CDH period but there’ll be adjustment once converted to permanent, btw your medical cover your spouse and children, and you will have 20 days annual leaves per service contract, bonus/other monetary benefit base on company discretion so don’t expect much on that.

For conversion of CDH to permanent staff there are such scenario, some being converted at the early stage of their contractual term, some towards the end and some they’ll need to re-CDH and being assigned to other business unit. Discontinue CDH, I don’t think I have heard that before. It’s merely the same as government servant concept, you’ll be on contract basis before being permanent and entitled for pension scheme etc.

At early stage once you are onboard you are going to hear some of the same batch as yours are being hired as permanent staff, I am not sure why so or how they define the vacancy that differentiate between permanent box / CDH box.

Generally, I would say - anxiety on the very first few months if you are coming from a permanent position in your current company 😅. But along the way, the team are not prejudice towards you at all, embrace your new journey.

each business OPU has a fixed quota on permanent position, not that easy to just convert CDH to permanent unless there's an existing/incoming vacancy for that particular position (permanent).

if the manager wants to monitor his subordinate's performance first, he could just utilize the probation period instead of hiring as CDH?

anyway, just ask if there's a vacancy for permanent position/box, then you'll know what to expect. i.e. just janji manis or you're seeding to fill up the permanent box later on.

Once you are in the system, will be easier for u to get the permanent role once the permanent box is available. Dont worry, as long you are perform and adapt very well, there will be a high chance for u. There are some people , CDH for 1 year  then able to get permanent position on next year due to performance and opportunity.

Hows your progress with HR so far? Are they helpful?

I see.. I also thought the same. The approving manager probably taken the whole week off, hopefully by 31st yours approved. Finger crossed 🤞

I wonder too. Hows your progress so far? Any news?

Like mine after you passed medical and submit a few agreements letter they let you know when is your commencement date so you can take action for your current company after that.

Congrats!! Mind sharing whats the timeline till u received your OL?

From memory of past years, it was not this fast.
Took many months and most importantly the candidate must not be interviewing elsewhere as the outcome from another company would take max 1 month

Received my medical check up LoU today. Guess im lucky

Anyone has been offered job recently by :

[1] PrefCHem - Based in Pengerang
[2] Gentari - New Business division of PETRONAS in KLCC
Was informed both pay very well

hi there, when you said Applying position in MyCareerX, does it written as:

"Dear XXX,

I asked because I just receive this email today asking me to apply for the same position. I've passed the CBI for this position last year and I wonder why do they want me to apply again for this position? I thought perhaps their database  currently down or something. If this is the email asking me to complete the profile just like what you did, I guess I'm one step closer to receive my offer letter then. If not, ahhh what are the odds :')

I just get in touch with their HR today, yeah I can confirm that they want us to apply for the position even though we have passed the CBI for them to proceed to next stage which is salary negotiations and finally offer letter. The reason is that they want the applications reflected in their database. I didn't apply for the position at the first place, was headhunted by them. So thank you so much for the info

Just received news from HR, which sounds like this..

"Regret to inform you that vacant position that fit for you had been closed due to internal reason. Hence, the business had kept in view your CV for future vacant position. Thank you for your time"

Just for info I passed the CBI on last year september, and 1 month ago on jan 23 I received a call from the HR asking for expected salary and notice period. I thought I was so closed to get the OL. But it is what it is.. I dont know what are the internal reasons which get the position to be withdrawn. Who know 2023 is going to be a tough year for the jobhunter and headhunter.. Sincerely me signing off..

Want to ask, anyone have experience negotiating the salary with Petronas? Received offer letter thru mycareerx and i ony can select accept or decline. How to nego salary with HR? Or the offer is already fix?
