Question: How often are the Structured Interview sessions? Like once a week/month/3 months?

Thanks.

Which department called you for the chit chat MoonRider, if you don't mind sharing? I've been called twice for chit chat (diff departments), failed one and the other one said need to wait for SI. That's why I'm wondering how long/often do SIs get conducted tongue.gif

From reading the thread posts, it looks like that its going to take sometime, so I guess patience is the key for us now sweat.gif

just to share; i've passed the Technical Assessment (TA) in Feb, got called for SI since Apr (need to postpone #1 - wife was in labour), again got called in May (need to postpone #2 - went offshore), again in Aug (need to postpone #3 - went outstation) and finally went for SI in Sep - passed, got offer letter...

frankly, just to give u some ideas that the SI is not a once off offer or arranged. They kinda having taf time to get 2 assessors per candidate. even if u get a slot, they might postpone it at the very last minute, just get ready.

good luck!

Thank you sir for the info. Really put things into perspective. I'll be waiting patiently biggrin.gif

Quiksand, how did you know when you fail/pass your TA?
I went for TA last 2 weeks, email the PIC but no reply 😓
*
Mine wasn't a TA, it was a chit Chat Session.

My assessors (2 of them) were senior people, one was the HOD. After 2 weeks, the HOD emailed me saying that I did not make the cut.

Typically TAs are arranged by HR ( to my understanding ) and they should be contacting you. If you do have the HR contact, drop them an email. Be very nice bout it as they have hundreds of candidates to go through and they may slip here and there wink.gif

Yup, the two assessors are very nice senior staffs from same department but different disciplines. They both have vacancies each.

At the end of session, they did reflect on the TA session (maybe since I am a fresh graduate). But so far, it doesn't reflect on what they had told me. Haha

Nevermind, patience is the key right? Or I should move on in the meantime. Hiks!

Btw, thank you very much sir.

Just my two cents on the matter. When I started out as a fresh grad, I applied for jobs and attended as many interviews as possible. Reason being that I wanted to land a job quickly. I got turned down for most of them but made a few cuts, which gave me levarage of choosing the best option.

Waiting would have meant that I would have lost the option to choose. My suggestion is to keep seeking other opportunities while following up on the result of this TA.

All the best to you!

So got invited for 3rd and final interview with CIO. Anybody can share their experience with me? Other than chit chat and get to know you better, what else do I need to be prepared for?
*
Might be different from person to person bro. I had mine recently and the person who interviewed me was the HOD. Asked me a few questions about why want to leave my current company and what are my aspirations. No technical questions. Now waiting for the result of the interview. Wish me luck biggrin.gif

How do you get called for interviews when I see no openings on their official website?
*
That's weird. I can see IT postings on the website, although I didn't apply it through there. Saw it on Linkedin instead and approached the poster. To be honest never had luck with the Petronas career portal before. Been trying over 5 years! God bless Linkedin biggrin.gif

What is the final interview about?
With the CIO or something?
If behavior interview offered, what's the chances of getting onboard?

Very hard to say what it's about to be honest. Some say its more of a chit chat get to know you session, some may be probing to find out if you're a good fit for Petronas. Mine was with the HOD. What I would like to share is that be prepared with a little background on Petronas (the CEO, the different groups like upstream/downstream, and latest news about them).

All the best!
