Went to an interview with them but sadly unsuccessful. It was a session consisting of interviews and presentations. Although I don't work with them, but at least I have an idea of what they're doing, well..at least I have an idea of what the Sustaining team are doing because I was interviewed for the position of Sustaining Engineer.
Basically in Sustaining, you'll be supporting the products that have been manufactured there. If there are any problems at the field on the seismic products, you'll be required to identify the problems and find the solution. The works are mainly based in Penang, but if you're required to go to the field, you'll have to go. They're also working closely with the Product Centre in Norway so at some point, you'll get to travel there

wahh....good thing to share...
BTW, how do u applied for it? and what's ur study background? mind to share? ..

i went to interview last month at western geco, penang too for manufacturing engineer..success on 1st interview but i reject to went for 2nd interview..btw my representative is eilin gule? same as you?

Yup. Mine was Eilin too. Had 2 interviews prior to the final session (3 interviews + 1 presentation). Basically I stumbled in the 3rd interview (technical). I think the structure of the interview depends on who the hiring manager is. Btw, why did you rejected to go to the 2nd interview?

wah 3 interviews + 1 presentation is quite challenging i guess..and yes my 2nd interview is a technical interview but i refuse to attend since i got another job offer which i think more valuable compare to manufacturing engr  ..do you think working here at western geco is a good stepping stone in OnG areas? for me the scope is too small since slb penang is more on production on seismis product..

went an interview as mudlogger. there's about 15 candidates and i was booted out at 1st round representing the minority 5 though i think i performed well.
we went thru self presentation > group activity (building a bridge) > group discussion.
im nt really sure whut they look for in an applicant but its definitely not your qualifications or your communication skills. its more to your personality ? or psychology and their hidden agenda.
what i meant by that is its not how good u perform (in terms of showing ur leadership or good english or performance), rather, they see if your average, do not stand out that much but not too weak, a follower behaviour to assign you a job which is suitable for you. they do not like people who brag (though im not braggin or force myself to talk in order to show i do contribute sth).
my group members were shocked when i failed to proceed to the 2nd stage.
but that's the case for this interview which is mudlogger screening. if they hiring for different positions, i dont exactly know. because mudloggin is sort of a dying industry where workers comes n goes and ppl quit after few months or 1-2 years. therefore, if they hire someone who is ambitious, idealistic, they realize that these kind of people dont stay for long.
but that's my personal thoughts. perharps im really inadequate ? or maybe i do not fit their criteria.. but what i know for sure is that those people that got passed the 1st round aint as impressive and outstanding and even below average. haha

look at the bright side,at least you are not stuck in one of the lowest paying segment in oil and gas industry if you managed to secure the mud logging position.Try again next time and try to get the high profile position such as wireline or mwd FE.

Hi just wondering you get to choose whether you wanted to be in wireline / mwd or other segment for FE ? Or they will assigned for you which segment you going to join after you successfully passed the interview, cause i see mostly they only mentioned grad field engineer , nothing specific.
Thanks

you can tell them your preference,but there is no guarantee you can get it though.it depends on availability and business needs at that time

sorry for interrupt................how hard could be the technical test for maintenance technician? normally, what types of question will they asked in the technical test? any tips for interview??.....because i will attend for the technical test and interview for maintenance technician, schlumberger at labuan....this tuesday.....hehe..mind to help? =) anyone?

@monsh : either you will be placed at Rohas Perkasa or 1 First Avenue, PJ (One Utama). Make sure you know everything? LOL. I guess you will go through few level of interview.. minimum 2 stages?

@quangbkb : You will be based in Malaysia but I think you got the chance to move to the filed/site ( ie. : from Kerteh to Miri) for your job related. Your package will be different or slight different with HCR. For driving license, just pay extra to get International driving license..  need to go to JPJ..?
