Take the offer in front of you first.

Don't wait for Petronas, it could take months (after passing your SI), before they finally secured a position for you. Or maybe you want to read this whole thread, where there are many people who had passed their SIs but were not offered any position.

I bet you don't want to fall into 'yang dikejar tak dapat, yang dikendong berciciran'.

Does not matter. Do not change your plans based on something that is still uncertain. Once you get the offer letter and you're 100% that nothing will change.

Otai has already answered your question, Kitteh

My advice is: everything is possible with Petronas HR. Always expect the unexpected. Always.

I pray that I don't have to deal with them again in the  future, even in real life.

hey guys. I've just got an offer from Petronas today but I couldn't find anything about the bonus and increment in the offer letter? are the bonus and increment all performance based?
p/s: I am a freshie.

dont worry, if you fail this time, you can ask for 2nd opinion from other clinic...last time I puasa and drink a lot of water untill my urine ph is neutral haha..

dont worry, its worth to pay just to get into Petronas..just a lil bit delay in processing your offer letter since u hve to wait for the result even longer la...

@Kitteh,

There is no such thing as your experience being considered diluted due to the mass hiring. Your work experience is individual. As long as you have the righ attitude, not shy in asking your seniors relevant questions, willing to take challenging assignments and delivering your assignments on time and with quality work, then all other MNCs will be eager to hire you.

My company has around 80 Malaysian families and 50 of them are ex-Petronas, 10 ex-Shella and another 10 ex-Exxon. As you can see, Petronas staff are highly regarded in the industry. When I was offered the position with my current company, my salary package was 5 times higher than my Petronas salary. Now it will be about 2 times higher as Petronas has gone into an aggressive staff retention mode for those in critical skills group.

My company usually hires people with 10 years experience or more but have lowered it down to 6 years for Malaysian as we have shown them that we are extremely capable in doing the jobs.

Get as much experience as you can while in Petronas. I will forever be grateful to Petronas for giving me the opportunity to gain experience in the industry and I have to say that the staff development program that they have in Petronas is world class.

Good Luck.

i passed my SI on last friday. is there any possibility for me to join the PIPE program on this november?

nope not yet since i just had my convocation last saturday, the HR personnel asked me to email the transcript and scroll to them first before they proceed with further action. plus, the HR personnel is having a training in PRSB hence slower the process i guess. oh, it means that i have to be jobless for another month? deng 
imo, it's better for u to call them straight since u know lah how the department works kan.

Hi all,
Mind sharing the HRM contact number?
Not too sure whether i should be calling so soon.
Thanks.

heheh the prob is didn't have any other offer right now. have to wait lahhh

I know your feeling bro...I also just joined the company and I had to tender my resignation letter after I get offer letter from Petronas. Luckily 1 month before that, I refused to go for training that will cost me being bonded with current company for 2 years..hahaha

thanks reign7, btw im joining carigali for SBO will join PIPE this december..

Mostly class room activities, brief you on everything about Petronas i.e. mission, vision, background, history and etc. Then some outdoor activities and last but not least, community service.
The food is awesome and enjoy your 2 weeks there!

Yes, you have to bear the cost to go there.
This apply to West Malaysians who are acquired to work in East Malaysia as you need working permit for that.

Help me on this.

I'm fresh graduate, convo last month. finished my SI early of this month and CBI last week. Got call from PCSB personnel mentioned that i passed both interview. She said that they are currently arranging available position 'anytime soon'.

My questions are:

1. How long actually this 'anytime soon'?
2. It is compulsory for all new hired petronas worker to go for training?
3. Where expected working location for me? (junior executive, degree in chemical eng, Petronas Carigali)

Still looking for job now, want to work but my friend suggested just wait for petronas, because it is hard to berhenti kerja when u get a job already.

Please help me...
