QUOTE(Vervain @ Sep 17 2015, 09:58 PM) Just got laid off today. Joining the unemployment packs for now I prepared for their question on wellhead or valve, horizontal drilling and such, and surprisingly they didn't ask about that. Did they ask you whether you know what they're supplying? E.g wellhead Xmas tree etc.  |

QUOTE(MEngineer @ Sep 17 2015, 10:39 PM) Good luck you will actually be working under Schlumberger I know, one of the question I ask the interviewer is how is the work culture, would it change under Schlumberger or do Cameron get to keep their identityThis post has been edited by chikuera: Sep 17 2015, 09:46 PM |

QUOTE(MEngineer @ Sep 17 2015, 11:26 PM) Did you ask whether the merger will result in laying off people? Is this the Maxis Tower office? I went for the interview at Maxis Tower Cameron Cooper but declined the job as it was not as impressive. I didn't. I'm actually applying a trainee program for 2 years+ 2 years contract. I dont mind wearing tie in the office actually People there need to wear tie everyday which is kinda off weird haha. Even big players oil and gas don't wear ties everyday to work.  btw, yeah it's at Maxis Tower. |

QUOTE(Vervain @ Sep 18 2015, 12:55 AM) You don't need to wear. Your division just need casual smart or presentable attire. Ties are for the valve & measurements division ok now i understand the weirdness. where is the logic in that? lol  |

QUOTE(supersound @ Sep 18 2015, 02:42 AM) Well, sales can be done by anyone, but if the customers are mainly from heavy industries, then engineering background are good. yeah i tell them during the interview that in engineering industry, you need someone with a solid foundation in engineering even to do sales, because you will be dealing with other OnG players, with an engineering knowledge you can make analyse and make decision quicker |

QUOTE(piggiek @ Nov 27 2015, 06:51 PM) I'm from chemical engineering backgroud. interested in doing simulation and optimization. Been using a software call LINGO in my degree, so wondering where can I use it. of course..mainly upstream company are on their low..probably not taking new workers..Unfortunately, the company you mentioned not recruiting. but since u are from chemical, u can try downstream. people around me said that downstream will soar high during this downturn of upstream..because when there is no new oil/crude (offshore), downstream segment will try their best to maybe get their process more efficient, using less resource from upstream. there could be a new tech, new found science or anything. u may take advantage on that just my 2 cents  |
