thats nice (happy.gif) so lucky to those who can enter petronas =)
btw any position for accounting grads?

Heard that 3.5k for fresh grad is not come just like that.. Those fresh grad won't have the retirement benefit or less retirement benefit as compared to previous batch employee.. blink.gif

Fresh grad student I think is harder to get into Petronas since mostly they take from their own sponsored student at Universiti Teknologi Petronas.. Every 6months more than 150++ Petronas sponsored graduated from UTP.. Heard from friends who intern at Petronas, the culture there is not good but think the culture may vary from dept and dept.. While UTP sponsored malays students tried to absorb into Petronas, most UTP sponsored chinese student tried to escape from being absorb by Petronas coz they aim for other oil n gas company or simply because does not like be in the Petronas culture.. icon_question.gif

For the interview structure, it's the same for recruiting fresh grad and experienced candidate where need to undergo:-
1. Writing Test (More to ethical questions)
2. Numerial Test
3. Verbal Test (sort of english comprehension test)
4. Occupational Personality Questionaire (Personality test for them to know in detail about your personality)
5. Interview (Have 4 stages)
5.1. Background Check
5.2 Case Study
5.3 Competency based Interview
5.4 Role Play

I agree on a thing.. The HR is slow.. sweat.gif

It all depends. Make sure you get recommendation letters from your superior during the internship. That'll help quite abit. If they have areas within the division that needs your expertise, then they can make a case for you. It'll still be 50-50, but at least if during your interview you can run examples of how you performed during your internship, the ins & outs of Petronas and knowing the various other OPU's help too. All the best!

Petronas wealth basically runs this country. 20 to 30 percent of this country's budget comes from Petronas.

QUOTE
It gave the Federal Government RM62.4bil and disbursed RM4.8bil in royalties to Terengganu, Sabah and Sarawak, bringing the total to RM403.3bil paid to the Government and the relevant state governments. Oil-related revenue from Petronas came in the form of dividend, corporate tax, petroleum income tax (Pita), royalty payments and export duties.

Sad thing is its a bumi "exclusive" company.

Hi,

I'm not that sure what's happening but the almost the same happened to graduating Petronas scholar in UTP. All Petronas scholar in UTP are obligated to attend the Petronas structured interview and they will be notify either they are "recommended" for any Petronas position after they report to klcc upon receiving their final sem result. I think you are now "recommended" for a position in Petronas and they are finding for a suitable position for you. Similar to UTP Petronas scholar, when they being notify that they are "recommended", they need to wait up to 6months period in order to get a Petronas job. However, for UTP Petronas scholar, it's not 100% guarantee that they will get a offer from Petronas within the 6 months. If they do not receive any offer within 6 months, they are consider being release from bonding obligations. Petronas offer might eventually come after 6 months period but at this point of time, a Petronas scholar are not obligated and required to work with Petronas (Of course if they want, they can chose to work at Petronas even receiving the offer after the 6 months period).

So, in your case I think what can you do is wait. Hopefully they will reply you a.s.a.p. However, I'm not sure either they will consider offering you a position after the 6 months period.

p/s:- I thought such uncertainty and gray area only happened for Petronas UTP scholar. Never expect that they are using the same procedure for recruiting professionals. Really no comment on it. shakehead.gif

I heard before, that Petronas will restructuring again their IT Department, means iPerintis will absorb into Petronas IT Department, no more outsourcing company. Is this true?, who can confirm bout this?

Coz semicon company which is usually mnc dont have a stringent policy about race, petronas on the other hand practices it like how najib practices hindu rituals.

I had a few friends and even my dad used to work under petronas as sub-contractors which was the only way they could get a job doing work for petronas, working directly for petronas was impossible becoz of the bumi quota they set.

just wondering..am thinking of applying for a job in petronas, to try my luck.

However, i'm not an engineer nor from any technical background. Mine is more on the soft skill type i.e. business communictions. does that mean my chances will be extremely slim?

the only method of trying my luck is depositing my resume via their website?
