yogurt7,

u just finished ur PIPE isn't? how was it?

applied to petronas for almost 4 months already but they didn't even call. guess there's no benefit graduating from their university without their sponsor.

yup, finish my pipe 2 weeks ago. it's a good program for you to create a new networking and friends. conclusion is, 14 days well spent

PIPE or Induction program also is known for when people met their future girlfriends and spouses hahahahahaha ..... so ... what about you yogurt7?

it's so much true, indeed!!

ZintanthraX,

U've to wait..as for my application, i applying in discpetronas in Dec 2012, and being clled in Aug 2013.,

haha, no luck on that part. it's OK la, currently i also attached to overseas project, no time for that. probably after the project is complete (2-3 years?), then move on to the phase "cari bini".

wow seriously? that is almost a year. well i guess i just get my experience with other company first and hope that they call by next year.

Never wait for Petronas to call you, make other plans and if it happens, it happens. Ask yogurt7, it took him like 9 months before he finally landed the job .... now he's assigned for overseas assignment ... sweet. I know those blue eyed blonde hair ladies for that overseas psoting are cute .... apa lagi .....

lol i am. thank god i already secured a stable job. no offence but petronas HR is pretty slow i guess.

Don't get me started on Petronas HR .....

Yup, as bro Azraeil mention, it took me 9 months from my 1st interview until I land the job here. And just after my induction, I was attached to overseas project. Worth the wait I guess.

Attended the technical assessment yesterday. It is a contract position (3 years). I asked them if they can offer a permanent position.

And this is their answer:

We can recommend you to be employed as permanent but you have to go through the Structure Interview which we have no control of the outcome. The result depends on HR decision. If you do not accept the contract offer, and go for SI, and if you failed the SI, no position will be offered.

But if you accept the contract offer, and asked to be absorbed as permanent later, you still have to go through SI, but this time if you failed, you are still a contract staff

Sounds like a good option to me. Something that I would have said even ...

Too bad, most of my PIPEmates either engaged or married.... guess joining the wrong batch. Nonetheless, i had a great time.

wow already attached to overseas project? thats so nice haha. If you dont mind me asking when you applied for petronas were you a fresh grad? also which department are you?

nope, i'm not fresh grad, have 6 years of experience.

Bro Azraeil,

It has been one year plus since I joined one of Petronas OPU in Bintulu..but no news on my SI yet...

Does recommendation for SI really depends on my manager's discretion?

What's your opinion on this matter?

Wait, why are you waiting for the SI result if you are already in PETRONAS? Are you a contract staff?

I'm direct hire bro, my contract is renewed on yearly basis
