Hye everyone, i'm really kind of struggling to start.


I need few advises or suggestion.
Any companies where i can join as apprentice/protege/intern?

I don't mind low pay as i really want to gain/build experience first.

My previous intern was next to nothing. I doesn't involve real engineering knowledge, insufficient depth.


First of all.
- My cgpa is low 2.8. I know this is very low for todays standard - I know how to set my expectation but, i still hope for my best chance.
I will be ok if couldn't perform higher due to my own effort. But again, i had external issues.
I still performed at times(subs), just inconsistent. So, just best try.

- And the duration i been no in field is 2 yrs now(had my personal and family reason but lets keep that aside(maybe advice how to navigate still)).
I been doing free lance jobs meanwhile. And, i know how to make sure my mind still active, all the knowledge gained.

I want to start where i can keep building, gain expertise.
An as for what field to venture, for my interest(NOT priority or picky) is towards research based actually, on energy industry, renewable industries perhaps, environmental solution or deals.
Basically where i can work on projects, deal challenges as such.
I'm less into managing kind of job such as safety or maintenance, except mybe for environmental engineering.
I'm not being picky, not in that position, but just few interest.
For example, i know some had the opportunity to venture into Production engineering, PDC and PIC handling, Or gaining competency certs like CePIETSO.

I don't knw yet how to begin, don't have an idea where to begin.
OFC, im not gonna aim at high end companies like Shell, Samsung, etc, to high for results.
But any other companies?

Plenty of companies hiring production staff.. Klk, sime Darby, whatever.. Can try apply few jobs on jobstreet or look for headhunter agent to help.

Brush up your resume and try to find nice things to say about your internship. Since cgpa already not that good, this is the only thing you have left.

Get competent person cert like cepswam or cepietso is a good idea and does increase your value. particularly if you lend your name to few companies, can get decent side income. But this requires you to actually get a job first, as you need write a report on your company iets/sw.

Maybe you can try to do chemical sales as well if you are a people person. This one don't require too high technical knowledge. Can learn more on the job
