Any lubang to join ib as a fresh grad?    Man, I kinda regret turning down KWAP's offer to become their investment analyst. The pay was quite good too. I just felt like it was a huge risk that time because they were heavily linked to the 1MDB scandal :/

Got scandal only can move the money. If the money don't move, how to make money

Hi otai-otai sekalian.

I would like to ask opinion. I just graduated from UTP  then after that I work in EPC company as a graduate engineer (Project) until May 2015. Unfortunately, because of the current situation I didn't get the chance to become permanent staff. 

until now still searching job. I saw a program from TWI under cidb youth program they offered this program :

1) 3g/6g welding - 2 weeks
2) NDT :
    - Magnetic Particle Testing - 2 weeks
    - Penetrant Testing - 2 weeks
    - Interpretation of Radiographs- 2 weeks
    - Ultrasonic Testing- 2 weeks
3) Blasting & Painting operation- 4 weeks

Which courses should i go to expand my marketability? I don't mind to start from below (even if they offered me under rm 2k i also grab it, because I don't have enough experience) Btw I have degree in Mechanical Engineering and Diploma in Plant Engineering with 6 months experience as a QC inspector and around 11 months in PMT offshore project.

Thank you for the opinion, appreciated it.

Gua tak faham. You have been a QC inspector and an offshore PMT and you still ask questions like this?

You, given your experience and background in an EPC should know by now what certs are in demand right?

Normally people like you will probably ask if should sit PCN or CSWIP. Try to join NDT company first. Cert with no experience too many in the market right now and NDT can pay you basic as low as RM900 (minimum wage) and site allowance at RM8 per/hr

Jangan marah bro and thanks for the opinion. Literally, im just a newbie to the industry and still a bit clueless how to expand and what to expect for future growth.

I am not angry, I am just flabbergasted really how an engineer after working one and the half year in the industry as a QC and PMT in an EPC not know about how their industry work(NDT/Welding-related to QC, PMT basically you are involved in every stage).
You should know what certs are in demand because urm........   you know the people approving/requesting these certifications come from QC and PMT!
You can always talk with your seniors and I am sure they have lots of advice for you on current market trend.
Sad for the future of engineers in that region.

Oh i see the confusion here. My mistake. I forgot to mention that my qc experience was in aviation industry.

and in PMT i just involved until engineering stage ( FEED and detail design) . Thats why i didnt know much about ndt/welding. But now, thanks to you sir i already get the info. Again thank you so much.

Petronas is a local entity

Shell isnt

Petronas has to do it

Btw, do u know that shell hiring has to go under petronas approval?

Well, Petronas can shout for USD100 a barrel for our sweet crude, since the main buyer is still the refinery in Paka and Melaka

Your fact isnt quite right. Local crude is mostly exported. Local crude usage is imported. Melaka mostly handles imported crude.

All contractors (Exxon, Shell, Murphy, Talisman and the likes) who has business in Malaysia will have to go through PETRONAS for approval when they want to do hiring. This is a known fact and has been in place since aeons and aeons ago. Why? Because headcount is cost recoverable. So anything that's cost recoverable, of course PETRONAS needs to know and will need their approval. However, what these people fail to tell you is that PETRONAS has no control over whom you hire. They approve only the headcount but they don't control who should you hire. PETRONAS does not control how many you wish to hire even, you come in and propose and they just approve.
