Hey guys, does anyone here roughly have any idea about when will successful candidates be notified by ALAM??? I'm really worried...

oh man, i seriously need to learn how to swim

The interview will be about urself and general knowledge about companies(this is mainly about MISC and petronas) and shipping industries.

juz read about company profile and read something about ship that will make you look like that you're interested in this career.

Added on April 13, 2009, 1:46 pmnwly added pic regarding rank.

nope. you're an engine cadet while you're in ALAM.

after grad, there will be 6month probation period, then you'll be promoted to 4th engineer based on performance. but usually people make it in 6 month. unless you're excellent during ur practical onboard ship. you'll be promoted straight into 4th engineer after grad.

btw, just to clear up something regarding the rank.

you'll notice that chief engineer will be below the captain. but actually chief ebgineer and captain hold the same position of rank. so in terms of salary, it should be equal.

captain are placed higher because they are company representative. and they hold higher responsibilities compared to others.

haha.

that one i'm not sure.

during my time, i even called ALAM for the selection for the interview.

they said that as long u pass the minimum requirement, you'll be called.

then it'll depends on ur performance during interview & written test.

but i heard that this year there will be less intake coz sponsor are cutting number of sponsorship due to excessive number of cadets sponsored and current economy crisis.

hi, i just want to tell u guys that alam is currently conducting shortlisting process of applicants. the result will be sent (via email) before April 28. good luck. 

haha. who told you that you can apply both?

because when company sponsored you, they already make calculation on how many deck officer and engine officer they want to work for them. changing of course have cause some major problem in my intake when some of us suddenly switch course. if you're under JPA or Felda then it is ok to switch course. for company sponsorship cannot change unless you got a very strong reason for it. VERY VERY STRONG REASON.

about applying both course. well, better call alam and say that you've made a mistake.. because later on when they realise that you're applying both and later on causing problem for them, they might not even call you fo interview.

well... with this rsult, you'll be called for interview. but after the interview, even 4A's guy can beat you. so, better prepare urself.

hi guys, i just got their email. the interview is on April 30, heres the detail attached :

Date                :          30 Apr 2009

Venue            :          Hotel Seri Pacific, Kuala Lumpur

Time                :          7:45 am

hope to c u guys there!

not a cheque, go to your nearest post office, and ask them abt the postal order. when ur settled, u shud hav a "cheque" like postal order.

if your parent or close relative(sibling, grandpa, grandma) pass away or in serious sickness, company will ask whether you want to go home or not. if you want to go home they'll send you back. all transportation cost are beared by company.

let say if you're 2days away from next port, you'll have to wait until you reach the port before agent pick u up and send you to airport. but if you're in the middle of ocean, they might sent helicopter to take you back home. correct me if i'm wrong, since this is what told to me by my senior and lecturer.

OMG, i still havent received rply frm alam yet huhu..

btw, Jaroque u frm sabah too? Me too, man im so glad find some member in my area phew

haha. that's the reward you get by being as a seafarer. haha.
can la... no prob. about the eyesight, because you applied for nautical science, during interview, tell them that you want to change into engineering. wearing spectacle is one of strong reason for u to change course. but i'll depends on your sponsor. but if you tell them during interview, i think it is ok. but you'll have to struggle in engineering since you said that you are not science student .

some of my batchmate even do lasik surgery just to get this application.
you're doing what courses? you can apply for MISC management trainee program. but it is shore job. the pay might be slightly higher than job that require degree out there.
prepare now! don't regret later.
that's not a reason. you should just try.

I'm just noticed that there is different interview date even though it's same place ..
