Xlayak jd oim bro...opis boy boleh la...

Dah ada di seberang tambak ni bro...

What are you talking?

The employer sets the salary...and not many local comps i know in o&g pays anything above 3k to their freshies.MNC's also very few. I started my first job in klang valley for 1.4k a month. If no allowance that month i makan timun.

From most people i hear in Malaysia high salary does not equate to higher responsibility and challenge it equates to who you know and how pandai u taichi. I make more money now overseas with so much less resposibility than i did locally in Malaysia with more responsibility. Why you think everyone in Malaysia want to jump?

It was reported that there was a fatal accident happened at Rig E-104 (Chemingat Rig? anyone?). 2 crews were working on the life boat when the life boat suddenly fell off 35m onto the sea. Both were found dead by the rescue team.

nothing much can be shared with the outsider at the moment as this incident is still under investigation. Most people roughly know what happened but to find the root causes it will go through a proper investigation which will involve many personnel including representative from the client..

I hope i can join this oil n gas industry someday. Have read this thread from V1 until V6. Very2 jealous of you guys.     

Malaysia's future talents pick Petronas & Google as top choice
Bernama
SINGAPORE, June 17 -- 2014: Malaysians studying business, engineering, natural sciences and law picked Petronas as their Top 1 IDEAL Employer this year, while Google claimed the hearts of those doing humanities and IT.

Set out to track career aspirations and preferences of future talent pools, the Malaysia Top 100 IDEAL Employers student survey by Universum also recognises the most coveted employers based solely on responses gathered.

The inaugural survey also uncovered the most important career goals of undergraduates, whereby 65 per cent consider having work/life balance as the most important, followed by 50 per cent who chose "to be secure or stable in my job."

The survey was conducted among almost 11,000 university students in Malaysia.

Despite this, when assessing attractiveness of employers they want to work for upon graduation, students valued remuneration & advancement opportunities as much as their people & cultural qualities.

Rachele Focardi, Senior Vice President of Employer Branding and Talent Strategy - APAC, Universum said, "Malaysia has made significant progress in recent years, positioning itself competitively as a business hub and gateway to the region.

"Naturally, the ease of finding and attracting good local talent becomes crucial for the success of homegrown and foreign enterprises.

"By launching a Malaysian edition of Universum's annual global student survey this year, we hope to provide a regular reality check for employers on expectations that their future talent had of them and their careers upon graduation," Focardi said.

Undergraduates in Malaysia share similar aspirations with their global counterparts, who also view work/life balance as their most important career goal.

When asked about their expected monthly salary upon graduation, Malaysian undergraduates hoped to draw an average of RM3,258 while other key findings from the survey revealed that a majority of Malaysian university students find local employers more ideal to work for compared with foreign ones.

Universum is the global leader in employer branding, providing end-to-end solutions that empower organisations to become better at attracting, recruiting and retaining top talent.

hmmmm......Goodluck!

their scholars in utp got good grades, tau. coz they picked high SPM achievers as their scholars, min 7A+ to qualify to apply for Petronas scholarship. competition super duper stiff.

I am not trying to sound like a grumpy old man but sayang, life is unfair. I dont see the point of us here circlejerking on these people that use 'cable' to be where they are. The discussion brought us nowhere except to the same very place we are right now.

The wayforward now is to build yourself your cable. Get in the industry from any means you can, you can try from the below; sub vendor company, small/medium oil and gas enterprise and build your network from then on. slowly but surely. Once you are up there, you have a firm grasp of understanding on the business since you went through greater experience than the 'fast-tracker'. And now you can start helping your family/distant relatives/your friend's son/ your classmates even that are trying to get in the industry.

I am actually excited to see how this will evolve.
The merger of two largest service companies in the industry.

Though I am still in the recruitment process of one of this companies, I wish they will agree to come out with something productive.

Heard their Kikeh is still producing plenty of sand, instead of OIL! 

Received same email, I applied for BHe Brunei. Same position.
UPDATE : 9 questions, and I f***ed it up pretty badly.

Questions 1-7 were all about challenges faced etc. etc. Last 2 about why you want to work in baker hughes

I wasn't used to looking into a camera at all, I just didnt feel comfortable, ended up stuttering and using the wrong words. Guess imma continue buildin' that god damned MRT.

Folks, the news about employee shedding has now become common with current industry situation and to be honest, it was expected as it's a common choice by companies in difficult times.

Much worse news would be if projects (exploration or even worse, development) get shelved and companies take the wait and see attitude. Has anyone heard of confirmed news of this type? Any mothballed projects in the news lately ?

Bro...can you enlighten more about this?
Means 2 months no crude oil to process, so all plants will be idling?

What you think you see rarely represents the industry as a whole. Oil prices are affecting rig counts.

Petronas already said they will honor all existing tendered contracts.
