What position did they offer you?

KLCC based? what do u wanna know about?

Wait for the offer letter first bro. My friend resigned once he got that email, but turned out to only started working 4 months later. He was unemployed for 2 months.

I see different people were processed differently. How long you waited since the SI until you get the email for medical checkup?

Your case might be different, but yes better be safe. They already know your availability so it's best to wait for the offer letter.

I see they process yours very quickly. So they asked you to do medical checkup in that email on the 22nd? Or is there a separate email after that?

I attended the SI on 8th and on 16th I got an official email saying that I passed the SI and that now they're preparing my employment pack, no mention of medical checkup yet. It has been quiet since then.

3. Competency Behavioral Interview
Behavioral interviewing is interviewing based on discovering how the interviewee acted in specific employment related situations. The logic is that how the interviewee behaved in the past will predict how he/she will behave in the future, whereby this interviewing technique believes that past performance does predict future performance.
Some of the questions that they might asked :
• How you handle conflicts
• How you manage a team

Duration: +/- 15 minutes or so

4. Role Play
You will be asked to do a role play together with the interviewer. There will be three separate cards which represent three different situations i.e. (Manager vs. Staff rep, Manager vs Teacher & etc). The interviewer (staff representative) will try to provoke you (manager) with various arguments. You will have to stand up for your principle and at the same time maintain the professionalism. The whole idea of this exercise is to examine your sense of empathy, integrity as well as professionalism.
In role play the interviewers will see how you progress with each card. The new card demand thougher role play than the previous one. Should you handle well he will pass you another card. It indicates good progress.
However sometimes the interviewers could not see clear indication how the candidates stand and he will pass on to a new card to see how the candidate handle it and compare it with his view on the previous card.
Be confident and have an open mind. View each situation considering all angles, ie the business that you in charged, environment ,the staff, people affected by the business and finally the nation and the world.
Interview Question – If you are the plant manager, how would you deal with the safety officer if there is a accident in ur plant? Assessor will act as the safety officer, and you are the plant manager.

Hey guys. It's obviously a dream for most of us to work with Petronas, including me, but I'm an English major. Do you think it's possible for me to work with Petronas? About a month ago I heard they're looking for a writer? I sent an email to their HR 2 weeks ago.. Well, I have a feeling that they're just gonna ignore it haha

oh, I would like to share my experience here.

around mid of december 2012, I went for SI (I'm a PETRONAS scholar)
SI result was out around 31st January 2013 (Gotta wait till our final examination result came out)
a week later, 7th February (if Im not mistaken) received a phone call for placement from PETRONAS. (like chitchat session or something)
I was told that the medical check up letter will be emailed after chinese new year.
Due to some graduation problem I received the medical check up letter a bit late than as told. But not that late la. I received it last Monday. (On previous Friday they called me to inform on the kelewatan)

And yesterday I went to PUSRAWI, do all the medical checkup and stuff. At around 3 I sent the result to HRM at KLCC.
And early this morning, I received the offer letter through email (so fast meh! I was so surprised, (iyalah, after reading through this thread))

Oh the conclusion is, I guess HR PETRONAS is not that slow.
Plus if I'm not mistaken, different OPU has their own different HR.

I'll be reporting for duty this coming 1st, March.

and my PIPE will start on 18th March.

p/s:  pretty excited to start working at PETRONAS. I'm looking for any kind of guidances and experiences from all of you here.    Thank you!

Agreed. Thats the problem with Petronas people. Most of them think that they are the best which in reality they are not. How do I know? Coz I used to be one of them...hahaha...

So, for anybody who wishes to join Petronas, please do not forget your root. Otherwise, you will be lost in the glamorous life.

I support yr statement 100%

Since I joined Petronas last yr, there's no Saturday & Sunday for me

Luckily I hv second income so I'm considering to quit by the end of this month
