hey guys.Has anyone joined the PIPE program before? what kind of activities should we expect to have?

Mostly class room activities, brief you on everything about Petronas i.e. mission, vision, background, history and etc. Then some outdoor activities and last but not least, community service.
The food is awesome and enjoy your 2 weeks there!

What about the travelling cost to their leadership centre for the purpose of attending PIPE? Do we have to bear the expenses on our own by booking own flights/ buses etc?

Also, in the offer letter, it states that we are required to "where application, obtain the necessary employment pass as required by Malaysian Governmental Authorities." What is this?? Is it directed to non-Malaysians who have no working permit??

Sorry for the noob questions.

Inb4 call the HR and ask yourself

I was being paid 500 for internship on 2003

Yes, you have to bear the cost to go there.
This apply to West Malaysians who are acquired to work in East Malaysia as you need working permit for that.

Okay, thanks!

Anyone going to work with PML this november?

Hopefully mid of nov after i pass the medical check up..u start in nov too?

I was told to go to PIPE first at 1st nov and report for duty at PML afterward. Just done medical check up though. You dont have to attend PIPE?

for mine is medical check up n report duty 1st then only PIPE in dec..

cant agree more with you..i know the experience is priceless but my daily expenses so high.even my current allowance rm500 cant cover it..unfortunately petronas dagangan not increase allowance to 800 yet until jan 2013.

Hey guys,
I just got my internship offer at these two places: PCFK, Gurun and MALAKOFF, Prai at the end of this year.

The HR for PCFK gurun told me that my allowance would only be Rm500 (instead of rm800, as u guys discuss about earlier). However, MALAKOFF, Prai agree to give a rm700 allowance to me.

Can u guys share your opinion on this matter, in general, which one is a better offer?

Help me on this.

I'm fresh graduate, convo last month. finished my SI early of this month and CBI last week. Got call from PCSB personnel mentioned that i passed both interview. She said that they are currently arranging available position 'anytime soon'.

My questions are:

1. How long actually this 'anytime soon'?
2. It is compulsory for all new hired petronas worker to go for training?
3. Where expected working location for me? (junior executive, degree in chemical eng, Petronas Carigali)

Still looking for job now, want to work but my friend suggested just wait for petronas, because it is hard to berhenti kerja when u get a job already.

Please help me...

never had experience with both, but if you could provide the job scopes for both offers I'm sure you'll get better response from others.

as others have mentioned countless times in this thread, the HR can be slower than a siput. Anytime soon can mean 1 week or 1 year. Read the whole thread for other people's experience.

My personal advice is just start working with any suitable offers you get. Why is it hard to berhenti kerja when you're already working? As long as you fulfill your resignation notice you won't have any problem resigning. Your friend who gave you that advice, is he already working or just a fresh graduate too? I hate when people give advices when they have no experience in it. It's not hard to berhenti kerja when you're already working, it's only hard to go for other interviews.

Do not wait for something that you do not know the timeline. Grab any offers you have and once you get the official offer from PETRONAS and have completed all the requirements (medical checkup etc etc) and if you still want to join PETRONAS after all that, then tender your resignation according to the terms and conditions usually 1 month notice. Also tell PETRONAS that you will need the notice period before you can join then.

Apparently you asked the wrong person.
Unless you're Japanese and working for a Japanese company in Japan, it's never hard to quit your job when you have one.

Listen to bro AtMostFear and azraeil.

I faced the same situation too, except that I had had a job offer waiting for me to sign immediately. I eventually signed that offer and worked for a month plus before I tendered my resignation recently. The employers cannot stop you from resigning, as long as you fulfill the T&C. It is only true that it is hard to attend interviews when you have a job, but since you have already attended SI, there is anything to worry about except taking leave for medical check up.

Just continue hunting for other jobs while waiting.

Added on October 28, 2012, 11:41 amHey guys.. in the summary of benefits extracted from Executive Handbook sent to me along with my offer letter, it states that an executive who is based in East Malaysia will be paid a monthly EM allowance at 10% of his/ her basic salary. I am wondering does it also apply to East Malaysians who are working in EM? Or it is limited to those West Malaysians who relocate to EM?

Inb4 asking the HRs on your own

Kitteh, as long as you work in EM you will get it. So the answer is yes. Btw c u this dec on PIPE!

It applies to ANYONE (permanent exes) who work in East Malaysia.
