Is Petronas really serious about this. I spoke to a lot of straight A students with excellent co-curriculum achievement and blah blah blah and they got rejected. Bumi and non bumi also. Does petronas know that all these Bright students applied for JPA too? Even if they really call the cream or the cream of the crop, I would say a majority of them will take up JPA rather than Petronas. The Educamp is another waste of money and limits the selection of candidates. Rather they should have a more spread out interview like JPA.

The thing is, they rejected alot of people for the interview. How are they going to see the attitude of the people before the interview them. The only thing they can see from the form is academic performance, co-curricular activities, income. And those whom I know where rejected excelled in all area, plus one the father mother retire already.

If the want to give 3/4 of the scholarship to petronas employee's children, then it seems as if they are running a charity rather than a company. What is the use of sending half past six to overseas just because they are related to petronas employees. The half past six are going to be running critical area of the company later.

I too wasted RM40 and lot's of my friends paid double too but did not get called up.

One thing about Petronas is, after six months, they don't offer you job, contract is broken and you are free from the bond. So you don't really have to apply for job, let them offer you. And these people are not all the efficient, i know someone who studied chemical engineering and wasn't offered a job within six month.

So you're implying that, for everyone regardless of race the chances are slim or there are equal opportunity for applicant regardless of race?

What he is saying is, of you're a bumi with good academic and koko you already stand a high chance, the highest chance possicle in fact. But if you perform badly during the interview, you're not gonna get it.

The person who pasted the post about how the interview is like in SMS malay is not obligated to post here. It is good enough that the person took his time to copy his friends message and put it up here. And you are criticizing him and scolding him. Come one man. I think you will understand it if you read it slowly and carefully.
