Malvo, try get more information from them, like normally what position is usually offered with that qualification of yours. This will make them look up their system, if not start thinking. Who knows suddenly they see a vacant and might just put you through. In return, they may ask you what is your preference. Try relate with your current experience and oil and gas, it helps to get you somewhere. The longer you talk on the phone, the more HR gets to know you. Among all the stranger on the paper which they deal everyday, eventually people tend to help someone which they know about, or they think they know about. This is basic phychology trick.

vin_ann, all the best in your second attempt!

For those who still don't quite understand petronas due to lack of information, here's some I wish to say. (Hopefully you are willing to listen ). Yup, I'm a satisfy employee working in petronas. I'm a non-Bumi working under a Bumi boss, don't have much non-Bumi colleague, but nevertheless there wasn't any issue of racist in my office. There isn't any relative (close and far) or friends that work in petronas, except for myself. Over the years working here, I meet a few friends who has the same background as me.

These days, the competition is just too tough. While UTP has strengthen their undergrad programme, review and revise every several years. Their graduates are just too good. In the next 5 years, once the first batch of petroleum students graduate from UTP, it would be even tougher for other universities to compete in this industry.
