Just assigned to my new work desk today

Hi guys,

I just got a Masters in Petroleum Engineering from Adelaide Uni end of 2013. Came back in January and have been in the hunt for jobs till now.

My degree is in Aerospace from 2009 and then I worked 2.5 years in semiconductor and took a loan for a 1 years coarse in Petroleum Enginering coursework at Uni Adelaide which has a good school in petroleum engineering. We learned the essential stuff such as drilling,completions,WTA and reservoir engineering with some geology. Essentially this Masters Degree is equivalent to a second Degree.

Can the experience guys recommend the companies I should apply to in my position?

I have started applying for non OnG and even tried to go back to manufacturing but during some instantaneous interviews at the Jobstreet fair with some semicon companies some were seem put off by my Masters degree and told me to apply for OnG and when I went to Petrofac booth at UTM the HR people say I am overqualified for graduate positions.So far no response from the big players like Petronas, SLB and halliburton keeps rejecting and Ive even applied to small vendor companies.

Has a girld my senior who did her degree UiTM, manufacturing work experience in factory and did he Masters in Petroleum at Adelaide in 2012 and she got a skype interview with Halliburton and sent to US for drilling training, some are so lucky..maybe just not my luck.

Don't wanna start a new thread on this. There's an opening at ExxonMobil for Early Graduate Engineer up last two weeks. Anyone applied for it, got any response yet?

Reqs:

-Minimum Degree in any Engineering fields
-CGPA at least 3.5 or Second Class Upper
-Fresh, energetic individuals with excellent leadership,communication and technical talent

anyone knows about career in Elster Intromet? How is the working environment and staff benefits?
Although it is just Gas Metering Company, but its engineering vacancy requires O&G experience.
