hi all..

I will having an interview session with petronas carigali this coming few days..i apply through email only not website..they also give send invitation to me by email..then i call them for confirmation to come and ask about the mode of the interview..they said the mode only an interview session with 2-3 interviewer..

for information, i apply for civil engineer position..dont have any experience in oil & gas..just a little experience in civil engineering field..

so, do you all have any idea for this interview?what kind of question and if there any test to do rather than interview only?

mind to share your experience and opinion here..thanks

I was being interviewed (technical assesment) by PCSB last week and what i can say it was successfull.
There were 3 panels, which is Technical "Otai", and it was like a chit chat session on ur expereince at first, but sometimes the question can make your brain in 'blank' mode. but I manage to provide the answer eventhough I have a feeling that the answer was not the correct one. I believe is not whether u are giving a wright or wrong asnwer, but to test your confident level to speak and brief the solution. So my 2cents advise is, u must be prepare or check back your current jobscope, in terms of technical and management. You have to describe by giving an example and how u manage it.

e.g: Have u ever been in a situation where u was not able to provide the solution?
answer: u need to give an example based on your experience, explain technically and how u manage it. Dont say "No".

The interview session was last for almost 2 hour, and at the end of interview, just ask nicely whether they recommend u or not.

rey07,

All in English..
Dont get your self too nervous..they want to see ur confident level..
There's alot of questions, especially on your current job function/scope..
what i can say is, when u explain in terms of technical and they will try to twist ur explanation..
When is your interview?which Department?PCSB?If PCSB they wil ask "ar u willing to relocate/station to anywhere ,overseas, including IRAQ??" Just say "Yes".

ok..i don't mind if in english just when in speak in english i little bit nervous because rarely speak english out there..
my interview would be this thursday with PCSB..
basically the questions on our current & past job scope? what about the question about their company, i mean PCSB or Petronas itself?
i didn't do the pure technical in my current job..and my experience also just a little altough i had been working nearly 3 years..

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..
Use this when u want to elaborate ur answer/explanation..STAR..Situation, Task, Action, Result...it might help..
U can ask the Panels whther ur recommended or not for Structure Interview with their HR..
Anyway, Good Luck..at Level 37..tower 1..

And the Petronas HR also really suck..I already passed the SI and got the position for me.
Just waiting for them to prepare my offer letter. After few weeks follow up back and then they told my position already given to another candidate.

How come that happen if not using SUBMARINE CABLE.

That make me didn't respect HR Petronas anymore. Really not professional for a big company like Petronas.

I also trying to call and email directly to their senior exec HR. And until now still no news.

Below is my email to them...

As per tele-conversation just now, please be inform that i already attended the Structural Interview(SI) dated 29 July 2011. And few weeks after that, Ms. xxxxx (xxxx) from HRM & Capability Division, PETRONAS D&P,PCSB  informed that i passed the SI. She also mentioned the position that will be offered to me (PMU, Project Development, Shallow Water & Acid Gas). And also mentioned that she will prepare the offer letter for me.

After few weeks, I tried to call Ms. xxxx back, and sadly she mentioned that other person already fill in my position (PMU, Project Development, Shallow Water & Acid Gas). And until now, i still didn't receive any news and waiting for the placement with Petronas.

Regards,

Engr.Jamaluddin Bin Abu Bakar

Sh*t just got serious!

One can only wonder why such a distinguished and reputable company like Petronas has this kind of incompetent person in their HR department.

ps: maybe bro Azraeil wanna give some intel on this one?

Added on May 4, 2012, 10:42 amAlso wondering on why Petronas HR keeps calling people for interview, when they already have tons of successful candidates in their record/ system.. got KPI to be achieved eg. in 1 year, need to call 1000 person for interview?

Maybe True la..because I figure out that Project Team also offer direct hire position, i'e Rapid Project, so how about those appllications for the Permanent Position.

the HR that called me to attend SI is from downstream business unit (PETH). does it means that I'm interviewing for a downstream position?  I'm more interested in upstream..  sad.gif
