What's HUC? Is it possible to work in the KLCC office as consultant etc, without going offshore?

Petlin, Kerteh.. I am inquiring because finishing PIPE on 16 sept at Bangi ( say 12 pm ) .. n go straight away to Kerteh( 5hours drive) ? because tmorrow morning(17 sept) need to report in at 8 am.. I think should start renting house as night of 16 sept need to sleep also..

perhaps u should ask HR whether they sponsored your temporary accommodation or not. diff opu diff practice.

No la..all opu same practice..follow standard guideline from group HR..Last time they allow u to stay at hotel for 3 days for u to settle down..

Kl to kerteh should take u around 4hrs drive..

Thank you all for kind the kind reply.. I will do the thing suggested to me.

1. Call HR about the accomodation ( although there is one kind fellow who is also going to same place as me already tell me about it )~ just to confirm
2. Get own transport ( borrow from family)
3. The only thing that worry me now is how to ask for 1 day leave as I will have my convocation day on 22nd of september ( 1st week also want ponteng )

U are entitled for convo leave..1 day if not mistaken..if need more just use ur annual leave..

Hello Guys;

I am new to the forum and i would really like to get your support.

I have received a good offer from Petronas Malaysia to work for 3 years; i would like to get more exposure about the following:

- Living expenses in Malaysia (i will be with my wife and 3 kinds).
- Possibility of progressing in the company
- career development and training courses.
- Work load and how this fit with the life style balance.

Any information on the above mention topics will be highly appreciated.

Hi khaledagwa,

1. Before i can answer your 1st question, may i know where are you from? so that i can compare your country and malaysia's cost of living.

2. I believe you have been offered for a contract position. Unfortunate to say there are almost no career progression for contract staff. You will stuck in that position until the end of your contract. Unless you manage to get a better offer, otherwise you will stay at your position as long as the company require your service OR you can move to other department/Unit in the company that can give you a better offer.

Same goes to training. At the moment PETRONAS only provides training to permanent staff only. Reason being is that the company don't want to spend money on contract staff which later they can easily move to other company.

3. Work load wise i would say depending on your position. Ppl involves in project seems to have more hectic work load due to the nature of the project. As for my personal experience, I would say I'm enjoying a work life balance

Hello;

Thank you for your reply.

1- I am from Egypt. I am living in Cairo.

2- Yes i have offered a 3 year contract as a senior drilling engineer in drilling department. is it easy to have permanent staff offer later?

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi chibimoon,

Do you mind to explain to me about your SI for the position in Finance department? Have you started working with Petronas?

Petronas SI is standard across all discipline..no diff if u are engineer,financr,hrm,etc..

Does anyone know about Petronas Production Academy?

I went for Petronas interview for the finance executive position yesterday.

1st round: Chit-chat session (I was confident and was prepared for the interview. There were two panels both are senior finance executive with over 20 years of working experience with Petronas. They were nice and humble I was comfortable with the session although at first I was trembling at my voice lool . They asked me standard questions like my background, education, sports, working experience, bla bla bla. And then when the finance HOD(head of department) came in, and they asked me 'why do you want to work with petronas?' . I noticed the look he gave to their HOD and I was like . I was thinking, what's with the expression? Thank God I was prepared for that question, did some research, and presented my points clearly. In the middle of the session the HOD left. Everything else went well and at the end I asked them what they like most about working with petronas? Both of them look at each other and don't even smile. I knew there's something wrong but hey they stayed for more than 20 years so there must be good reasons too. They didn't answer that question. And I asked them what are their least favourite thing of working with petronas and again they look at each other with a higher degree of negative face expression. I thought it was an inappropriate question and opologized but they said it's fine. They told me the least favourite thing is the stress. And their way of easing it is by sharing their situation with other colleagues. )

And then I went for lunch! I was starving (didn't take my breakfast) When I get home and relaxing I received a phone call from petronas and he asked me about accounting stuffs. I didn't know that there's gonna be a phone technical interview TOTALLY NOT PREPARED with all the questions.

2nd round: Phone interview (The HOD called me at the same day and asked me about double-entry, tax and corporate finance related questions. I passed double-entry. I failed at tax questions. And I was ok at corporate finance. Geez I was like !! My brain has been relaxing so much and I was totally not ready with it. And in addition, the HOD told me 'heyyy I left school 16 years ago and I can still remember this stuff! You just left few months!'. What's with the yelling . But I don't blame him for blaming me he's the boss. But I'm concerned with the 'type' he is. And then he asked me about general questions such as who is petronas CEO? what is the height of KLCC? and do you watch F1? I know who's the CEO but I dont know KLCC's height and I dont know anything about F1. And then I told him everything I know about Petronas and at the end manage to impress him with my last answers At the end of the conversation, he told me he'll discuss with the others again whether to pass me or not and told me to wait within 2 weeks. And his last words were 'If you didn't get the phone call, you know you have been bluffing enough. hahahahaha.' Wow. Again I was shocked because that's rude language. I sense that if I ever get to work with him that's gonna be a great opportunity but at the same time I'll have to bear with all the inner sickness

This morning he called me again asking about my MUET. I don't have that and only tell him about my IELTS result. I thought he already throw my application into the garbage bin yesterday

I think my chance of getting to the next stage is 50-50. Anyhow I'll just prepare myself with all the CASE STUDY and ROLE PLAYING. Knowledge is a gain[COLOR=green] .

Hey thanks for sharing your interview experience. Are you an experienced worker? i'm a fresh graduate majoring in non technical major. I will be attending their SI this Thursday, the HR personnel informed me that I was shortlisted for SI, not like yours; the chit chat session. I wonder if the chit chat session is included in my SI tomorrow.. perhaps i should figure out how tall is KLCC :-D

All the best for your interview...

Hey buttercup313 I'm a fresh graduate in accounting and finance. SI is my next stage if i pass the chit-chat and phone sessions. The panels said SI (Case study + role playing + CBI) is going to be 'strict'. I translate it as 'very tough' . I think you should contact the HR again whether there's chit-chat session or not. Yea you should prepare yourself with petronas info. You can get the points from their annual reports, facebook, twitter etc. You still have time to prepare. I practiced in front of the mirror and drank lots of water lol

Hi all,i will attend my SI too this thursday.. good luck to all of us:)
