Nope. Im more towards installation side. the one in platform is on operation side. and most of 2 weeks on n 2 weeks off is for clients like petronas, shell and so on..

for me, i'm making the new platform and connecting pipe between platform or to the sea. it so call contractor, in malaysia, they practice 60 days and 1 or 2 weeks off. depend. but 60days rotation is normal practice here in malaysia. singapore, brunei, n other countries, they practice on 45days rotation.

its to prevent the people here from mutating. u do mutate, because the floating wood would be the most interesting thing u see and u will tell anybody on board, and all people will look at it till it gone. its rare. the excitement offshore of seeing that will be more than see a naked girl on train in onshore.

Hehe. Gud point there. I found a way how to present my CV. I put name of project instead of company. highlight what u do than highlight what company you work for.

Let me show u some example on that:

Working experience.

1. Pipeline installation Betty-Bakau sept 2008 - dec 2008
55.5km of 28" Pipeline
Title: Field Engineer
Company: ABC
(bla bla bla on description)

2. Topside installation of F9JT-A aug 2008 - Sept 2008
Kumang cluster project development
Title: Field Engineer
Company: ABC
(bla bla bla on project desc)

3. Expansion of Penang port wharf feb 2008 - aug 2008
Phase 3A
Title: Site Engineer
Company: ABC
(bla bla bla)


and so on.. u will look better like that.. instead u put what company u work, u might want to detail it to what the job u have done on that company. interviewers will see more on what u can do, rather than see what company u work with.

it works for me, it might work for u.

I had this experience before. I would like to share a situation that i've done myself. its works, but u must really confident on what u capable of. chances, hurm.. 50-50 i would say..

its my 2nd day on a new company, and another company call for an interview. so i didnt really thinking of moving again, but i just go and try my luck.

talk as i am.tell what i have done and i just be myself.


Interviewer: What ur expecting salary?

Me: Rm4000 (i saw in the advertisement before, the job offer 1800. Hehe)

Interviewer: we offering only 1800, as you are fresh grad in the industry. why u expect 4000?

Me: I have the knowledge, capabilities that worth 4000 and i strongly believe i could make more than that for this company.

(bla bla bla.. some of the chit chat.. then i go home.)


3 weeks later, they call if i would take the job if they offer 3100. but then i said if 4000 then i take it. few of nice talk again, hang up.

a week after that, they call again and offer for 3800. but too bad, i'm already move to another company who offer better.

Moral of the story, i think any interview we go, the important is CONFIDENT and BE YOURSELF.
others will come to you, if its yours.

it true.

PM me sir!
