My brother in law already passed all the interview for engineer oil and gas position but when they wanna give him the appointed letter the HR asked him about the CGPA. Unfortunately his CGPA not really good but he got an experience . So my brother in law didnt get the job with petronas. At the first place before the interview why they didn't asked him about the CGPA???

If they dont want, they can use wat ever excuse for dont want..i think in first place already know the CGPA because it is common and stated in the resume...but interviewer maybe like him...when goes to somebody or upstairs maybe they think not consider and might choose other candidates which they think better and deserve to fill up the job.. no luck and all the best...

It's possible they overlooked the CGPA. Anyone who had dealt with HR would know their 'capabilities'.

One incident happened during my SI. Before the interview started, an HR personnel asked whether anyone of us obtained CGPA less than 3.0. I didn't find it ridiculuos because I dont know about it at the time.

Come to think about it:
Why the hell did they called/ invited the candidate(s), who obtained CGPA less than 3.0, for the interview in the first place?

Wait for the offer letter first bro. My friend resigned once he got that email, but turned out to only started working 4 months later. He was unemployed for 2 months.

I see different people were processed differently. How long you waited since the SI until you get the email for medical checkup?

I have a friend working in there in Project Management. Doesn't sound too finance to me, not that I prefer to do finance.

Your case might be different, but yes better be safe. They already know your availability so it's best to wait for the offer letter.

I see they process yours very quickly. So they asked you to do medical checkup in that email on the 22nd? Or is there a separate email after that?

I attended the SI on 8th and on 16th I got an official email saying that I passed the SI and that now they're preparing my employment pack, no mention of medical checkup yet. It has been quiet since then.

PETRONAS Structured Interview (SI)

The structured interview comprises of 4 different sections:
i) One on One Interview
ii) Case Study
iii) Role Play Session
iv) Competency Behavioral Interview

1. Ice-breaking Session
This is just a normal ice-breaking session to ensure you confortable with the session. Get ready with the following questions :

a) Family /education background
b) Brief summary of your working experience, if any.
c) Your strengths and weaknesses?
d) Your best achievement?

a) Introduce yourself (5-10 minutes) (Studies, abilities, qualities & etc)
b) What is your interest? (Provide a reasonable elaboration)
c) Your strengths and weaknesses?
d) Your best achievement? (Elaborate based on your past experience)
e) How do you pick yourself up after a bad experience/facing a failure?
f) (Elaborate based on your past experience)
g) How do you handle a conflict?
h) (Elaborate based on your past experience)
i) How do you find your leadership?
j) Have you encountered a situation where you are required to lead a group of subordinates? (Elaborate based on your past experience)
k) Have you encountered a situation in which your integrity being challenged? What did you do? (Elaborate based on your past experience)
l) What and how you can contribute/add value to PETRONAS?
m) What do you look in your career?
n) Why do you think you suit this position?
o) What are your strength and weaknesses?
p) Tell me about your experience especially after five years you studying in university?
q) five minutes, tell something about yourself but nothing to do with your job

Duration: +/- 10 minutes or so

2. Case Study
You will be given an article from POTENTIA as a case study. The objective of this session is to see how you think and what you know ! Don’t worry so much on the topic as most of it is a general topic/knowledge. If you read a lot, will help you better in the session.
What you need to do ? Don’t panic, read the article carefully line by line and try to understand the whole story and try to highlight some key elements for discussion later.
You are allowed to jot down your key points in a A4 paper given by the interview administrator. Your notes will later be collected by the interview administrator. You will be asked to discuss the case study from various point of views i.e. Key elements (why do you choose that as key elements?), wider implications, main problems, suggested solutions & the benefits.
Topics:
a) PEOPLE Strategy
b) Corporate Finance
c) Product Change
d) Tourism
e) Costly Mistakes
f) Home Schooling
g) Pollution
h) Market Share
i) ICT
j) Nanotechnology
k) Integrity
l) Asylum
m) Corporate Growth
n) Value Profile
o) Global Warming
p) Publicity and Privacy
q) sub contract
r) Company Merging
s) R&D

3. Competency Behavioral Interview
Behavioral interviewing is interviewing based on discovering how the interviewee acted in specific employment related situations. The logic is that how the interviewee behaved in the past will predict how he/she will behave in the future, whereby this interviewing technique believes that past performance does predict future performance.
Some of the questions that they might asked :
• How you handle conflicts
• How you manage a team

Duration: +/- 15 minutes or so

4. Role Play
You will be asked to do a role play together with the interviewer. There will be three separate cards which represent three different situations i.e. (Manager vs. Staff rep, Manager vs Teacher & etc). The interviewer (staff representative) will try to provoke you (manager) with various arguments. You will have to stand up for your principle and at the same time maintain the professionalism. The whole idea of this exercise is to examine your sense of empathy, integrity as well as professionalism.
In role play the interviewers will see how you progress with each card. The new card demand thougher role play than the previous one. Should you handle well he will pass you another card. It indicates good progress.
However sometimes the interviewers could not see clear indication how the candidates stand and he will pass on to a new card to see how the candidate handle it and compare it with his view on the previous card.
Be confident and have an open mind. View each situation considering all angles, ie the business that you in charged, environment ,the staff, people affected by the business and finally the nation and the world.
Interview Question – If you are the plant manager, how would you deal with the safety officer if there is a accident in ur plant? Assessor will act as the safety officer, and you are the plant manager.
