Based on my observation for the last 6 months during my active job hunting (until now), fresh grad market considered the toughest in the Oil & Gas industry at the current moment, although current oil price is favourable.

The Oil & Gas market in Malaysia is more favourable to experienced candidates with at least 8 yrs experience in Oil & gas industry.

My only advise for fresh grad is that may be you should stop aiming for Oil & Gas industry, may be aiming for IT is better. And IT job pay is not bad tho.

My 2 cents.

Or another better way to enter oil & gas industry is to join fresh positions in Singapore.

The vacancies are plenty in Singapore compared to Malaysia. The demand is higher.

Nahh, the worst recently was during MCO. Even Petronas wasn't taking anyone except interns.
Friends that were in their scholarship were put on hold/waiting list.
Price was low due to Ruski/Arab price war.

SG didn't have much openings either at the time.

ITs soon will be replaced with AI by the looks of it. Blue collar jobs will always be in demand though.

Lol, during MCO any company also freeze their hiring as well. Globally basically. Haha.

Almost all on contract basis
I have personally seen 5 colleagues / ex going to Qatar Energy or Qatar Gas ...

and now another one to Aramco (Permanent if not mistaken). On family package.

Exactly true. No choice this is part of O&G companies strategy to stay resilient even in the worst scenario (oil price dropped sharply).

U can do it in Pet, put more of the bonus into EPF. Pet bonus is fattest I guess in O&G.
