So it will be fine..just imagine like u are in chit chat session..
Question about PCSB, or Petronas ..no..as I used to deal with them before..
It was all about u..
technical does'nt mean all the calculation, theory bla2..
it can cover  Project Management.. Situation/Problem and how u handle it.. how u liase with Client, or Sub Con..I beleive u have experienced all this..

Hi I just have a question here and sorry if I'm out of the topic.

My status after the Petronas SI is recommended and I'm waiting for the placement almost 2 months now.

I just wondering if there's any way or tips on how to get the placement? I don't know who should I contact and how.

Thank you

Please call the talent sourcing unit.

Hmm. i already contacted them and their answer is that I need to wait for the opu to call me. some of my friends told me that it's better if I can pass my resume to OPU's HR but I didn't have their contact.

Anyway,thanks for that yaaa

I have been in your situation before, I know how you feel now. Just be patient and at the same time looking for opportunities out there.

3.0 Role Play

• Example: You are a factory manager. 4 students from a nearby school came to do a practical training within the factory. Suddenly there has been an incident of theft reported. Some of your permanent staffs have lost a significant amount of money and they were very upset. The staffs have accused the trainees of stealing the money as such incident has never occurred in the past. How would you handle the situation?
• The interviewer (staff representative) will try to provoke you (manager) with various arguments. You will have to stand up for your principle and at the same time maintain the professionalism.
• The whole idea of this exercise is to examine your sense of empathy, integrity as well as professionalism.

Multiple choice of a,b,c,d,e. You will be given a piece of paper with various statistics data presented in the form of bar charts, pie charts & graphs. The questions will be asked based on the charts given and to make it worse, the questions are being put in random manner.  Some questions have 2 pie charts, you will need to calculate the value or the percentage of ‘cake’ in the chart, the percentage of profit and loss, which you may have to look back into another pie chart. The questions look easy (only involves simple operations (+.-,x,%)),  but sometimes could be very tricky.  (Duration: 18 minutes)
Don’t forget to bring along your calculator

am still waiting for my interview results. About the Aptitude test, im not sure whether they'll do it during the interview day or not, but last time i did the test online. And the writing test was also done at home. During the interview day, i just bring along all the forms they asked to complete including the essay test + certs.
