ive applied petronas for one year plus through website mutiple times, sent Cv and resume during some jobfairs and conventions but I've never got a formal reply nor any emails even if i'm not shortlisted or whatsoever.
i don't know which part i am to be discriminated. my friends at least got an email or chitchat session, SI and became employees.
i'd graduated last year and applied since may last year. its ironic that people i've read here got interview 3 to 4 months after application. is my resume and cv annoying, unattractive or my background or what i've no idea. just somehow disappointed that not all people have the fair ground to compete for jobs. maybe i should just pray to God.

Petronas may be a great starting ground for graduates, but it's not the only one offering a bright future, so don't feel depressed. Unless you're exceptional in your studies, extra-curricular activities and interpersonal skills (you'll need all three, no excuses) OR if you have a strong enough 'network', you will not get noticed. Since you have no idea why your paper wasn't picked, let me enlightened you a little. Ask yourself these questions:

Did you constantly achieve exceptional academic results from a respectable university?

Were you actively involved in any extra-curricular activities where you held a position of responsibility?

Do you have the ability to quickly and critically analyse issues and express your thoughts clearly with confidence?

Is your 'cable' big enough?


If you are not able to answer at least three out of the questions above, then you've found your problem. Reflect, move on and improve yourself for the better.

Well truth is, there are too many applications. You ought to stand out in one way or another. Having a pointer 2.7 and extending your degree dont help, unless you have solid reasons for that. Even if you do, HRs have every right to prioritize candidates with better record.

I see. I should do some self contemplation instead of whining. Thanks for the feedbacks.

Hi, thank you for your insight. Honestly, I tend to be over dramatic a little over the internet to experiment with others' responses since I thought I would be anonymous to a certain degree, but obviously it's not so hahaha. If my memory doesnt' fail me, I think you'd replied me last year as well.
Yes, I do have solid reasons but of course I would keep it to myself because it would be perceived as excuses by others.
Paiseh, I think I'd ruined my image before you for being a troll on the net haha but thanks again cuz I took ur reply as a concern. tongue.gif

If you want to stereotype, I can do the same and say those who did not do well in their studies have zero intelligence.

Have you ever thought why reputable companies have their potential candidates go through screening and several rounds of interviews? They screen graduate resumes to filter out those who can't perform well on paper and those who do not meet performance expectations during the interview will be axed. Hence, they're left with a handful of high potential graduates who excelled academically and have the skills and potential needed to succeed in the professional front - an all-rounder. Unless of course, you got in through strong connections, but that's a story for another day.

I understand that the recruitment process may be subjective. It may not yield the best, but it does help in getting recruits from the top quartile of the overall potential spectrum.

If you were not recruited, you just don't have the necessary traits required to perform well in this environment. Your talents may be better suited elsewhere, so identify and utilise them. Time to quit being bitter and look for ways to improve yourself instead of blaming the process itself.

I was called up for sapura kencana years back b4 graduating.
I was looked down upon by the interviewer looking at my results 2.9 cgpa.
Didnt get the job after she asked me a simple question, ur result is only 2.9 cgpa, why should i hire you.
That really struck me and well, i move on. a month later, i got a job in jurong shipyard singapore.

They saw my results and they saw my size and skills that i might have.
In the end, i got hired and i performed way better than expected getting the highest increment, awards and etc.
So i guess, not everyone sees an individual the same way.
Some may think u r capable, some may have other opinions.
Don't get dishearten and move on for time doesnt wait for u to whine.

Hey, no worries. I rant online too. And you are still very much anonymous to me. I just happen to have good memory on certain things and I pay attention to details. A bad thing for my boyfriend, obviously lol What I did this time is trying to provide a different viewpoint (from HR) on the issue.
Cheers!

on 27th sep,i have attended the structured interview for petronas carigali at pacific regency. they told the result at the end of the SI. luckily i passed the interview. alhamdulillah. didn't expect the result as im not perform well in case study and role play in the morning. my graduation day just a few days before the interview.

actually i send my resume and cover letter to HR on august..and at the end of august they call me for chit chat.a few weeks later, they called me to attend SI and passed the interview. lucky me to get that fast. im not petronas scholar.

seriously??! did you apply through discover or you have someone in petronas to revert your resume? roughly, how long is the process from application to SI and result, is it 2 o 3 months?

To all, please dont believe all the rumors la.. those are just bullshit..

the selection to join petronas is a bit picky. they will prefer bumis.this is TRUE.

once ur in,bumi or not, u got equal chance, if you are high performer plus you are damn visible, u can reach ur dream ASAP.

got top management are non bumis. u don see much now i think due to ratio of bumi/non bumi. i think 8 vs 1 now. so, u don see lots of non bumi top management. earlier when petronas was born, very few non bumi joined petronas, so, plesae expect that. u dont give top management to newcomers. if u say those auditing firms discriminate by race, yes i agree, but hell no, not petronas.

petronas salary may not be much, but comapred to the workload, u get much higher than what u work. lots of people wanna quit Shell, Exxon, KPMG, schlumberger u think for what reasons?

to summarize, if u ever been offered a job by petronas, quickly accept it. it will not come twice. rumors are fresh grad will get 4K by june. so act now!bonus is high to compnesate the OK salary.benefits are too long to list down.the people are friendly, but not all. common la, any company also got few people you hate, right?

What about if they offer you a contract position.?
The payment is not that high.
It will be on project basis.
Should we grab that opportunity??

actually i send my resume to HR on 12/8. i got the HR email from my senior. they called me for chit chat call on 28/8, they called me again on 19/9 for confirmation to attend interview and my SI was on 27/9...seriously, i didnt expect that fast. for my case, it is about 1-2 months from application to SI. the result for SI straight away announced after the session on the same day.

good for you. now the 2nd phase of waiting begins, which is for the offer letter. some of us took weeks, some even months to receive the offer letter after our SI result.

don't get your hopes too high until there's black and white. until then go and apply for other jobs.

I received the following reply from HR

"We are pleased to inform you that you are successful in your interview with our organization however, your hiring is subject to our Management’s approval.

We will be communicating with you again for any update"


Anyone know what does this means?
