Just try food or manufacturing and explain how your engineering knowledge applies in any industry

i plan to do so. but it quite hard to get into other industry because my programme is petroleum engineering. it is a specific programme which mostly we learn about ong industry. if u have any advice on what industry i can apply to please let me know as i am already applied some of the companies that are not so related with ong but still no reply. please

Relax la bro, you went to the interview last week, wait at least 2 weeks, how was the interview?

may i know which company? i would love to apply too. and when he is graduated?

Shell Sabah upstream is cutting headcount this month?

Maybe their shallow water team but sarawak already cut

Haha, interview just chit chat with engineering director (Mr.Terry) alone. Nothing related to technical.
Currently they are working for Uzbekistan Project with LukOil, but project toward the end.
After this will support RAPID project.

How much of the headcount was reduced in Sarawak?

Not sure but they got a lot of Russians working here. Which office? KL or the other one?
No bonus is true. stick to current job for now..

....another round....
Technip announces it will reduce its global workforce by 6,000 as part of its restructuring efforts due to the industry downturn.

Paris-based engineering company Technip S.A. is the latest oil and gas company to announce layoffs as a way to combat a “challenging environment in oil and gas.” As part of its restructuring plan, Technip will lay off 6,000 of its 38,000 employees from its global workforce. The cuts will be implemented over the next 18 months, a Technip spokesperson told Rigzone.
The layoffs come as part of the company’s decision to “accelerate its cost reduction and efficiency efforts worldwide,” according to a statement released by the company. The restructuring plan is expected to save the company over $918 million – almost $775 million will be delivered in 2016 and the remainder in 2017.
A significant part of the restructuring plan addresses the onshore/offshore segment’s “unsatisfactory performance,” including reducing the company’s presence in some onshore/offshore markets where profitable business is unlikely. This is expected to take place in Europe, Asia and Brazil. The company will reinforce investment in key geographic and technological areas, such as FLNG (floating liquefied natural gas). In the subsea sector, Technip will further reduce its fleet, with plans to reduce two more vessels in addition to the two vessel reductions previously planned. This will bring the total number of vessels to 23.
Technip chairman and CEO Thierry Pilenko said in a release that “the slowdown in the oil and gas industry is prolonged and harsh” and that the restructuring “will have tough consequences for employees across the Group.”
Technip joins a host of other companies who have implemented workforce reductions (a total of more than 150,000 jobs lost globally) and restructuring plans as a means of dealing with the volatility of global oil prices.

It is official.

There's been words about Petronas having to cover up 1MDB's debt.

Google search yielded nothing so far. That's why I come here to confirm anything before believing anything. Anyone to shed some light on this?

Sound to me like pretty serious if it is true.

Shell Sabah upstream is cutting headcount this month?

Not sure you're serious or...

Just received offer letter from KNM this morning. For contract position.
Based salary slightly higher (+1.3k) than my current company (working for 1 and half month only).
No benefit, no bonus. My current company (13 months salary + bonus + Petrol card + car allowance + medical card)

Since their offer slightly lower than my expected salary. Still in dilemma want to accept or not.

Any advise on KNM in term of project stability.
