I was there for 7 years. It's a fun environment since it's a small subsidiary of Petronas so you get to know a lot of people. As for research, it's more of a research project. You need to come up with a research proposal and probably need to get the grant from Petronas. The problem I have with that system is that if you don't have a client (say PCSB etc) to sponsor your research, then you really can't get it off the ground.

Things may have changed since I left but I suspect you will also be working with EPTC (E&P Technology Center)

One thing good though is that once you're in the Petronas system, it is much much easier for you to move around. So after 3-4 years and you're bored with it, then you can always look for a transfer to Carigali or EPTC etc.

Thru reading from previous post, it depends vacancy available within pet.i guess your names will be on the list to be employed for the position you apply. My suggestion is to move on, but do not any sign any employment contract that will bond you.

I agree with Kodek, I usually never wait for anything. If they want me, they will hire me, I see no reason why your life should paused while waiting for an answer from any company. Move on with your career and if they finally offer you a job, then make your next decision then. As most people say, you cross the bridge when it's time to cross it. As long as your new offer doesn't bond you in any way (most company don't), then it's your prerogative.

I've previously done internship with Petronas, and now just graduating my Mechanical Engineering bachelor end of November, i've applied for a graduate position in Petronas earlier December. I've so far received a call from Carigali HR that they've received my resume and stuff.

How long do you guys think I have to wait for the SI?

you're UTP student?

Eh not UTP, and I'm also not their scholar.

got IT department or not?

hi all...would like to know who are going attend the PIPE session on this coming tuesday? 3rd jan....and is that necessary to bring more clothes for jz in case?

Well , it took me 3 month to get my resume noticed by them, and 1 month after that , they called me again to schedule an interview. Prior to the f2f interview, u have to do online test about personality assessment. Aft 2 weeks, i called the hr about my application status, i was told rec to HR and waiting for the HR KL centre to call for med check up and aft that issuing offer letter. now 2 months gone,i haven received their call from HR KL, i think there are too many candidates they have to handle.

No. IT is handled by another company called iPerintis.

Yup that's right. Besides their own scholars, they have other applications coming in everywhere. So it would take time. For their scholars, they need to wait a period of 6 months (if recommended). This means that they have to try to allocate vacancies for their scholars as well as other professionals.

Not necessary, you can put the clothes inside the laundry bag everyday for washing. But please do not forget to bring some outdoor attire as you need them for the outdoor challenge.

u experience it b4 or u were the HR personnel?

It always has been my dream to work with Petronas. Hopefully one day the will call me for interview. In the mean time, i will keep on applying and furnish myself with more skills and knowledge.

Hi. I'm not a HR personnel. But I have friends there. I just went for SI in october, so I more or less know how it works

Typical candidates graduated from overseas will have to wait up to 2months just to get the interview. The longest/hardest part is to get called for the offer letter, it can from few months to 6months, 8 months or even more as it is based on the ranking.

what are the chances of being at least called for the aptitude test?

depends, u have "cable", they will process faster.Otherwise, it's like kena toto jackpots with one shot.
