oh ok. But one more thing, i'm not really in a very rich family so, i hope u understand if i'm workin for the money, but partly because of the experience too. What do u have to say bout the salary, destroyer?

no worry la. most enter this career because of money. even me.

salary nice la.

you're getting almost rm8k for starting. foreign company pay u higher. btw, what course did you apply?

i applied for marine engineering. Wat course did u applied?

haha. i'm already in ALAM. currently doing marine engineering. almost finish my 2nd sem already.

oh that's cool! By the way, how many years does it take to finish up the diploma of marine engineering? Until i graduate, in other words.

diploma in marine engineering is a 3year course.

1st year is conducted in ALAM batu rakit campus.

2nd year will be ur training onboard ship. this is the time you'll learn most of practical thingy. it is also to collect seatime as per required by MARDEP to sit for Class 4 Certificate of Competency oral examination.

3rd year will be in ALAM again.

ooooo..... tat clears up much of the fog... haha. thx destroyer. do u happen to have any email adress? Oh and by the way, i still haven't received any replies yet... and i'd regret if i didn't do anythin now in the meantime. so could u at least tell me the types of questions they'll be askin durin the interview and i'd love it if u could give a more detailed info, destroyer. hehe.. thx a lot.

well....

about the interview,

1st, they'll ask you to introduce urself.

2nd, they'll ask basic question like why you choose this career, what do you expect of yourself after 10 years, what commitment you want to do to local maritime industries.

3rd, something about company profile. the top people in petronas and misc. how many fleet of vessel company have. what is company vision.

btw, have u prepared urself for the writen exam?

It's on the way... i did revised my add maths and physics but i'm afraid it's not enough... i mean , is the written test real difficult? or are they askin bout basic questions? and bout the company profile, which company u mean? ALAM? or petronas and MISC? Thx ya...

haha. written test is like spm question during my tym.

yep. just be aware of all 3.

btw, make sure you come early during the interviewing days. not to early. just make it in tym as stated by them

because there will be briefing about company(MISC). during the briefing, they'll tell u about top people, num of vessel they have, vision, etc...

oooohhh........... but, i'm in Kuching, Sarawak. Will the interview be held here?

if i'm not mistaken, for sabah and sarawak, alam n MISC representatives will be there to conduct the interview and written test. so no worry about buying flight ticket. this during my tym, not sure now. just wait for them to call.

ok. tat's a relief.. anyway.. Thx for all the info, destroyer. ur a lifesaver. heh..
