sure - I wanted to share it yesterday, but gosh, I missed my flight back to Kuantan!  doh.gif so, I slept on the benches at KLIA and got on the next flight yesterday...what an experience. hahaa...ok, enuf about me.

anywy, there were 5 candidates for Mechanical (Piping) position. They got 5 each for every other dept as well (MCI - I guess this is material corrosion, IC - instrument control and Mechanical (Static).

I was the last to get in, literally - 5:20pm  flex.gif  the HR and the interviewer kept apologizing for I had to wait that long - but definitely OK with me.

Since the session was running late, they kinda speed up things. there were 2 panels.

it was really a chit chat session at the beginning - relaxed mode.

then the real session started;  brows.gif

1. introduce urself - just about ur self, if u have working exp, just save it for later - there is a dedicated question along the way.
2. they will guide u with simple questions
3. technical part - they asked for what u actually do - how do u conduct/plan ur tasks
4. technical question - since my applied position is piping - the question was about piping; material, wall thickness calculation -

# ps: if u don't know or don't do anything they ask, just say NO. it's completely OK. like myself, I don't do wall thickness calc (since my job related to brownfield (modifications - no need to design new piping), so I just say no - but I took extra effort to prepare - tried to write but missed the formula by a component - they say, it's all good.  icon_rolleyes.gif 

5. what code and standards u referred to - ASMEs, APIs, PTS ( at least mention basics one like 31.38.01.11 for general piping)
6. name projects that u've done - they'll jot down from there - not flipping thru ur cv - so remember ur projects by heart - name and briefly what it was about.
7. what is the pull/push factor for application
8. what is ur extra credit - mentioned things I do besides job scope - added value to the company - things like committees
9. ended with - last word from u.
10. they'll contact in 2 weeks time, if pass then move to SI.
11. now they r actually creating a pool of candidates - so, they'll rank everyone and offer them accordingly as time permits. so, just chillex.
All in all, it was a great experience. basically they'll ask basic things - at least things u do. not so technical, but more on concept.

feel free to ask more, since I think it's better if I ask what u want to know since I can keep rambling all day. hahahaa  thumbup.gif
pss: don't do this during interview - keep it short and simple and convincing. if u good at English, it's a big chance to nail it. just my observation.  rclxm9.gif

dear sifus,

1) have anyone ever failed in medical checkup?

2) where to do the medical check up?
*
I failed my medical check up on the first try. Do the check up at PUSRAWI, the breathing test need to be done 8 times, the doctors know what is the benchmark we required to pass, so he push me to do it until i pass the test (for info, I'm a smoker).

However, it was not this test that make me failed. It was on blood test. my cholesterol level during first medical check up is 6.3+ if i'm not mistaken. So HR call me, and give me another 3 months to re-do my medical check up. however, i just re-do it again after 5 weeks, and the level has decrease to 4.6 (the required level to pass is 5.2 and below).

long story short, now working with PETRONAS.

p/s: heard someone said they need to do the TA on saturday. this is normal. I'm doing my SI also on saturday.
