Before I got sacked, I got 1.5 months of bonus which almost the same for the past 10 years.
But with the high oil price, those bonus money are never enough to cover the spending due to high oil price.
With current low oil price, my bonus have balance, first time for all the years.
As long as we still can work in O&G companies, no bonus are not a big deal. I don't want to see in situation such that, I happy but the rest have to cry

Guys - Muhibbah, KMN & Toyo are actively looking for peoples right now, be it fresh grad and experienced personnel. Working in EPC environment is a good start to built project reference.

Thanks Bro...But now i'm working at oil and gas consultant..but still less than 2 years experiences.

Trying my luck to carve my career into operator side la pulak..InsyaAllah..

wow..6 months?..i heard the same thing also..

Rigzone 2Q Survey Reveals Oil, Gas Companies Reluctant to Hire
Still grappling with market uncertainty, 51 percent of global hiring managers decreased their hiring efforts in the past three months, according to Rigzone’s latest global hiring survey. Additionally, 13 percent have completely frozen their recruitment plans.
Since oil prices bottomed out in mid-March, the industry has seen slight increases in oil price per barrel, but not enough for oil and gas companies to feel comfortable enough to actively increase hiring plans in the near future, the survey revealed. In fact, 54 percent of global hiring managers said they believe job cuts are more likely in the next six months and 65 percent expect to experience a loss of budget for approved headcount in 2015. Since the beginning of the downturn, globally, the oil and gas industry has already seen more than 150,000 jobs lost.
A very valid concern among oil and gas companies during a downturn, especially with the continued challenge of the Great Crew Change, is employee attrition. According to the same hiring survey, almost 70 percent of global hiring managers expect an anticipated decline in voluntary departures of employees throughout the next six months.   
Despite the decreased hiring and recruitment efforts, opportunities still exist for oil and gas companies to secure skilled workers, with 81 percent of global hiring managers expressing that the candidate pool has grown in the last three months and 34 percent said the time to fill open positions has shortened in the last three months. Additionally, 70 percent indicated candidates are not asking for more compensation compared to three months ago.

syukur still got job

(^__^)

Guys, last try before losing my hope.

Anyone have any way or advise or lobang for me, a fresh graduate mechanical to go into this field?

Applied numerous companies, all no results. Already few months. I can make my hands dirty and learn. So anyone can help me before I give up?

Lol.. Just ignore it.

This is similar to  the news i received, that the Shell operators were transferred onto PCSB.

Guys is AED 38,000 per month salary is good enough for living at Abu Dhabi? Accommodation & transportation included, the only drawback its single package. One year contract.

My only worry is the roles is not under the client payroll but it will be under pak arab punya third manpower company. I read some of horror story by those pak arab third party manpower bayar gaji lambat, and some cases tak bayar langsung.

haha check out that#5. funneh they cut all the peanuts,good ones, realible ones and is recruiting up all the slb high rollers. thats how f*cked that #5 company is.

I had to join another industry, fail to land a job back into O&G. No job is out there. Most company will say O&G ppl have very high pay we cant afford to pay you guys and you guys will leave the company once the industry recover back. They are worry to hire O&G ppl.

To those who have lost their jobs, would it be beneficial to pursue their studies ? Say for a one year duration while waiting out the low oil price period.
This would be a good time to do a master's course or something.

Of course, this is only if it is financially feasible (no crazy loan commitments or dependents) and if the selected course actually being relevant to future employment.

Congrats guys. I'm also taking a massive pay cut. Pretty much consider a fresh grad pay on another industry even though I have a decade of experience. Rather earn less than to earn none. Days with lucrative pay are over.. Can't complain.
