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.

Have you failed your S.I?

i thought SI is only to complete the procedure.means once u pass your T.A, SI only a requirement to be a permanent staff. Coz during TA session is where you facing with the teams or managers that you will be reporting to.Once they like you, they just need to inform HR they want you and attend SI just to complete the procedure.Maybe there a few candidates fighting for the position in your case and SI will decide which one win.

Ok. Actually i pass my TA last week..got news from HR 3 days after. Now waiting them get approval from management and arrange SI.

For your info pet is hiring and they have a lot of plant/rig to be setup next year onwards exp RAPID,FLNG1,FLNG2,KASAWARI,T GAS in Kerteh and the list goes on....

Anyone want to share die SI exp recently? i will have SI this coming Monday. Just got called today and she ask either i want to accept or hold for another SI session to be arrange due to short notice. I said proceed sajalah coz its SI, nothing to study and goreng saja during the session.

Just want to know how actually the SI being conduct now and what type of the question they ask?its all about the case study or more about my works exp? any suggestion what the topics should i read for the case study

Usually how long for the SI result to comes out?

PET ICT( Half Petronas) and Petronas Network Dept(usually handle project and support by Pet ICT)

I finished my TA and pass my SI.The whole process took about 2 months.Now waiting for management to approve my hiring within this week and then go for medical check up before receive the offer letter.

Wish me luck.

Nope.5 years exp in oil and gas.Instrument Engineer

Petronas do hired fresh but mostly from UTP and some from other uni. U must have control and instrumentation or EE degree to be hired and E&I engineer.
If you cannot get a job with client, try to work as a vendor 1st like trisystem,foxboro,yokogawa,emerson and etc.These vendor usually will only hired fresh grad, after 3-4 years, these fresh will jump to client and the cycle goes on. Usually people that have work with vendor for few years easily be hired to client because of the connection they have during working as a vendor. For me, i do have EE degrees from UTP but have worked in oil and gas telecommunication field for 5 years. I have a lot of friends who is working 4-5 years in other field like manufacturing,factory suddenly being hired by petronas for position that is totally different. In this case you cannot demand the salary, they maybe offer you slightly higher than fresh grad rate but still if you work in factory you cannot get 4.5k(engineering fresh grad rate for petronas) within 5 years,rarely happens.

For me, i alwiz believe in rezeki. Don't push too hard and follow the flow.

why not stay in wireline field? i believe its offered better money than instrument field.

Different scope as im hired to Carigali. To join petronas as telco engineer can apply PET ICT.Petronas do have their fully own Network Dept but its small dept only cause everything already sub to PET ICT/Iperintis.
