A week before raya, Petronas HR called and asked me to come for structural and technical interview in JB on 26th October 2007. I said OK, confirm I’ll attend the interview. I don’t like interviewing for jobs. I dislike being interviewed but how come I can get the job without this process.
Actually it was a 2nd step in job interview with Petronas after I went for screening interview at 
Hyatt, Kuantan during their walk in interview and Open Day.
Early morning on October 26, I drove to JB from Kemaman, reached Persada Convention Center at 12.30pm. Great, I met one of the Petronas staff who used to be my client since 10 years ago, at least I got some tips and guides how the interview will be conducted. Well he still recogised me.
The structural interview started at 3.00pm and finished at 4.30pm. It went very well. At least I felt very confident that I did well. The interviewers name, En Idris and En Dzul were so nice, so it was easy to speak with them. OK lah tu, aku passed structural interview. Success!
So I would like to share with you, in case you readers in the coming future go for the structural interview with Petronas.
Day 1
The following questions were not straight forward as how I stated below, but that was what they wanted to know. Dont lie about the technical things, some of them have strong technical knowledge than you man. In this structural interview, only head of department and related field interviewer will ask you. Dont ask about salary la..
Structural test
Introduce your self
Your working experience in oil and gas, or related field.
What you can contribute to Petronas,
What you look in your career,
Why you think you suit to this position,
Can you interprete engineering drawings,
Do you have any relative in government authority such as DOSH, Police etc.
What strength (I answered anything that I know well) do you have..
Thanks God, I can answer all the questions. And what I can say the interview was more to discussion rather than formal interview, and I felt relax most of the time. No stress at all. The good thing is the interviewer wanted to pull me to their department, but then it’s all depend on technical interview.
OK once the interview session finished, HR department came and asked me to come for another interview, a next day morning at 10.00am. OMG i dont have any extra long sleeve. I said OK, I’ll overnight in JB.
I’ve been told that the technical interview will be conducted in 2 separates session, technical test and formal verbal interview.
On the next day, the interview session start at 10.00 am, with a technical test first.
Technical Session
1- Case Study
I got 1 case study.
Title : Creating A PEOPLE STRATEGY in your business
What I need to do is to read the case material, understand the case, what is the key elements, wider implication, main problem and benefit from my answer, plan for bla bla bla and bla.. arghhh! Why they give me this topic.. I didnt know what to present to the interviewer.
Dont worry if you dont know the case study given to you, or the case study is not related to your job. They just wanna see how you think about it.
2- Questionaire 1
25 question within 5 minutes
3- Questionaries 2
88 questions within 5 minutes
4- Questionaires 3
They will give you about 5-6 paragraphs, each paragraph contains 3-4 questions. So total question you need to answer is about 20, finish them within 18 minutes hahaha…
Dont worry, this is multiple choice, TRUE, FALSE and CAN NOT SAY
5- Questionaires 4
Mathematical questionaires, ooh mann.. what I can say, only genius born people can do all the question within 18 minutes. You cannot use calculator or handphone calculator.
Multiple choice as well, a,b,c,d,e. More less 20 questions, I cant remember how many question were there, and I cant complete all the questions huhuhu…
So you wanna know what were the questions all about?
Most of the questions are shown in pie chart. Some question has 2 pie charts, you need to calculate the value, the percentage of ‘cake’ in the chart, the percentage of profit and lost, which you have to look back to another pie chart. To me these questions was easy but tricky, but then without the calculator I only can answer 3-4 questions.
I told the interviewer, the question was tough, and she said yes many of interviewee cant answer most of the questions.
The next session was verbal interview, tougher than the day before.
Interview Session
In this session, you’ll need to present the output of the case study given to you. But before that, I been asked to Introduce myself.. bla bla bla.
Then they moved to others question. I cant remember all but here are some of them.
What do you understand about integrity? Have you faced any case with related to integrity in your work? Of course I have, so just give them example la.
What do you understand with a quality? What do you do to get the quality employee?
How do you find your leadership? What experiences have you had with managing the subordinate?
Your best acheivement? Dont make up a story please, if you have history with Petronas before. I saw they write down my previous well-done project name with Petronas, I think they will check with Petronas Construction group la.. huhu.
There were so many questions, but I cant remember all.
The interview went well. I felt I was able to answer their questions and wasn?t nervous. I asked a few questions to them. One of my question was about blacklist if we turn down their offer. Yes, they said if we turn-down their offer (normally with official offer letter la) we will be blacklisted.
My previous experiences with job interview have taught me not too take them too seriously. I feel more comfortable when I can throw in a bit of humor into a job interview. Without being too casual, I like to ease myself into the interview and help give a more human feel to the experience. I think that it is very important to be yourself in an interview.
What I can say about this interview is, Petronas wanted to hire quality people, positive thinking, smart, etc.. and I think i am out of it.
So what I can learn from this?
This interview is a process of evaluation of myself. Am I able to do the job? Am I willing to do the job? and, am I manageable if hired? There should be a good match between the company’s needs and the applicant’s expectations.
So now, I need to wait the result within 3 week. I dont put much hope on this.. kuikuikui..
i am glad u did well in your interview…

2 years in oil and gas? I may say that they are looking for 10 years of experience, correct me if i am wrong. If you are engineer then you may apply for junior engineer if 2 years experience.
Please feel free to attend their open day.. you can find better info there.
Hope anyone from PCSB can respond something here..
thanks eddyra 4 the infomative info..
by the way..
Can you tell me more about the open day?
its sound interesting.

Hafiz,
I not very sure what they called it but I prefer to call as open day where you can go for walk in interview.
Below is copy paste from an email I received last year. Why don’t you call this lady and ask for further detail or next event. Good luck!

Sharon,
Sorry for the late reply. I am not very sure about that assessment Sharon. Do you mean self-assessment questionnaire?
Its depend on how soon they want you to join them, in my case it takes almost 3-4 months. Some special people within a month.. etc.
Eddyra,
Thnks alot for de reply. wow 3 to 4 months quite long… i guess my case will be the same too. got de assessment questionnaire alredy.
wish can be de special people too.
working with petronas like you is my dream but i just only have a diploma in information technology.huk3…so sad
Salam Eddyra,
Actually my background is in civil engineering.. But my 3 years experience mostly related with E&I engineering. I became installation engineer (control system- pre commissioning job) for turbine control panel upgrading project and I like this job and done it well..
Can you help me on this?
What position should I apply for any Petronas vacancies? I think im not E&I engineer nether civil engineer (already lost)

Dear Azri,
I suggest you to continue with your current experiance, its hard you know to gain that 3 years of experiance. I also from different field of engineering but manage to do that. I&E is not bad my friend and I alway received request from other company to give them a I&E engineer, but I dont have any friend who have this kind of I&E experiance.
There is a I&E (they call it E&I engineer in petronas btw) position but I am not sure the right one.. i’ll try to find out from them..
Thanks for the fast respond Eddyra.. Really appreciate your effort..
Required your advice:
1)Reasonable expected salary of me if apply with Petronas? (experience on Sabah,Sarawak, Terengganu offshore)
2)You think on what criteria they will evaluate me? Since I am civil engineer, but I don?t have experience in the related field. Most of my experience is involving with tendering, project monitoring, installation engineer for E&I that?s non related with my studies background.
3)Established oil and Gas Company in Terengganu that you prefer somebody to apply?
4)Established oil and Gas Company in Malaysia that you prefer somebody to apply?
5)Government sector.. do you willing working on that organization?

Hello and salam everyone.
I would like to ask what is chit-chat session?
I called them asking and they say its just a relax session, they wanna know about the candidates more, thats all. But I’m not sure what to expect from it.
Has anyone gone through chit-chat session with Petronas? What is it all about?
Thank you~
ada tak kije kosong for safety and healty di mane2 petronas?? please inform me…
Hi eddyra,
Thanks for the info on ur blog. It help me a lot during the interview.
Actually, I went to interview at Petronas on 15th July 2009 (post advertised on Star Job) and then on 24th July 2009 I received an email said;
“Dear XXXX,
Structured Interview Date: 15th July 2009.
Thank you for participating in the above interview.
Please be informed that you have been placed in our list of potential candidates. Your job offer will be based on the availability of a suitable position which commensurate with your qualification and/or experience.
Kindly be informed that if you do not receive any official notification from PETRONAS within six (6) months, you should consider yourself unsuccessful for the job application.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for participating in the assessment and your interest to be part of this esteemed organization.
Exora: My quiry is, is this statement mail is normal? Or they only send it to the waiting list people?
Good day. I have just been offered a job in Petronas company. Please advise me. Is it real?
May i gave an oppinion? I think who candidates held a dip and degree in mecha,chem and mariner then wants involved in oil&gas sector,should applying gigantic firm like schlumberger,mmhe,shell etc.Its much better,even yours an a entry level position.
pertonas hr called and i had been offered a position and he said he was preparing an offer letter for me. it was a month ago. is this normal that their hr always give false hope to their candidates? or is it about the time has not arrived yet?

Hi Eddyra,
I was readin your blog and was wondering whether Petronas sends out SMS requesting a person to attend the open interview ?
So the walk in interview will be more of a chit chat session then ? I found your insight of the interviews really helpful.
Thanks
hello Eddrya,
hee…your blog is interesting and very helpful for those who’s planning to go for PETRONAS’ interview..well done eddrya…=)
anyway, i am one of the PETRONAS staff…it is true for engineering field, you may need to have more than seven years experiences in order to be recruit as PETRONAS staff..it is not that easy to be one of PETRONAS staff as my concern if you dont have good communication instead of excellent academic background..yeah its true..but it doesnt mean that HARD if you give a try right?? who knows your luck..hehehe…being here is very grateful…=)
well, my advice for all..
it would be easy for you if you get the right address of which division you want to apply..there’s a lot division here and have their own HR before they proceed with HR centre..regarding the late of offering letter, it is normal for here due to many stages for HR to go through…hehehe..even u’re a dip holder, dont be afraid to give a try since there still have position for dip holder..but you have to apply right position..hehe..
gudluck!
Bagus betul korang ni, at least korang semua dapat chance la pegi interview Petronas. Aku punyer cerita pulak,…..dah beribu aku hantar resume kat Petronas Discovery tu, satu email haram pun tak reply. Hampehh !!!! Aku tau laa, result aku kat UIA dulu pun mcm cibai… CGPA 2.878 jer….. Ade hati nak apply Petronas. Yela, nak samakan standard examination dgn local universities, mmg tak same laa. tapi aku sedar aku ni bodoh, malas belajar dulu…. kuat dating mmg no. 1… buku ntah campak ke mana ntah. Siap boleh fail 2 subject; Algebra & No. Theory ngan Advance Analysis. Menyesal pun tak guna. Tak per, tu dulu punyer cerita.
Now, I’m changed. After I finish my degree, I start working @ stockbrocking company. Alhamdulillah, I got my license. Along the way, I go back and study all da finance book and also books for equity investment. After 1 year and 4 months of hardship, I’m planning to move to other company. Now, I got an offer as a Analyst @ 1 of da Bank’s investment mngmt, recommended by Bank’s CEO. But, da story I want to tell u guyz dat yesterday I made a personnal appoinment with “Head of Petronas Group Treasury”, Pn Noraini Che Dan and I told her dat I really want to join Petronas under Investment Department (currently managing RM30 billion worth of investments !!). To my surprised, she was impressed and really looked forward for me to work under her unit. Above all, she asked for my resume and she said dat she willing to help me to get into Petronas.
Harapkan HR, smpai kiamat aku tak dpt response. Nasib baik ader Pn. Noraini yg murni. Fuhh..!!! Badan die mmg hot, solid, mantap. First time jumpa kat office die, pakai kebaya ketat tak hingat. Mate aku pun meliar liar ntah kemana, hahaha… Easy to say, she’s really a very nice person and I’m happy dat I met her (tunggu 4 bulan juz nak bt appoinmnt ngan die) So, juz nak share ngan korang semua, my story. Mungkn sbb pengalmn aku buat sales kat tepi jalan, tu sbb muka aku jd tak tau malu jumpa org. Dgn CEO bank pun aku boleh ajak keluar lunch…. Yg penting mesti ader gud A.P. ‘A’ stance for – Attitude, ‘P’: Personality, and always have a good thoughts!! . Nevertheles, I’ve got to get thru all da interviews…. hopefully, my dream will come true – becoming a Fund Manager!

[quote comment="10363"]hello Eddrya,
hee…your blog is interesting and very helpful for those who’s planning to go for PETRONAS’ interview..well done eddrya…=)
anyway, i am one of the PETRONAS staff…it is true for engineering field, you may need to have more than seven years experiences in order to be recruit as PETRONAS staff..it is not that easy to be one of PETRONAS staff as my concern if you dont have good communication instead of excellent academic background..yeah its true..but it doesnt mean that HARD if you give a try right?? who knows your luck..hehehe…being here is very grateful…=)
well, my advice for all..
it would be easy for you if you get the right address of which division you want to apply..there’s a lot division here and have their own HR before they proceed with HR centre..regarding the late of offering letter, it is normal for here due to many stages for HR to go through…hehehe..even u’re a dip holder, dont be afraid to give a try since there still have position for dip holder..but you have to apply right position..hehe..
gudluck![/quote]
hahah thank for comment.. i just wanna share my experiance with others.

what is the new remuneration package for the executive ? any ideas?
salam sume… aku dapat interview pcsb hujung bulan 9 nie…mintak nasihat skit…excited tp takut…huhu.
position apa
Hi……Saya nak tanya kalau-kalau ada krja sebagai maintenent atau helper di petronas carigali di mana – mana kat malaysia dan luar nagara.boleh email dan hubungi hp:0148876177.
Hi everyone.. I have been lurking in this blog for a while, and thank you because it give me a big favor when I attending the SI on 11/10/10, for vacancy in Accounting field as Executive,
I need to ask some question and hope someone can answer this .. TQ in advance
After 2 weeks I call the HR about my interview result.
They answer me this, “Congratulations, you are recommended and if there any development, we will inform later”
Then, the day before yesterday, (1/11/10),I missed the phone call from Petronas, from the number shown in my HP, i know its Petronas..
Then, yesterday, I called Petronas to ask whats up. They said “I call because I want to know how many months notice for me leaving my current company”
After give my answer, they also add this “We currently preparing the LETTER OF APPROVAL, once it approved, we will call you later”
So my Question is:
1. YOU ARE RECOMMENDATION ? What that means?
2. LETTER OF APPROVAL? It is Job offer letter or what?
3. I GET THE JOB OR NOT.? Why they can’t just say directly to me.. “yes, you are acceptable blah blah” or “you are not ”
It really eating my patient huhuhu
I don’t want put so much high hope, in case it just the routine for hiring purpose.
4. Err If anyone can answer me, How much is the salary and other benefit to me for entering Petronas. I’m a graduate with 2 years experience in audit firm. Em in the resume, I just put 2.8, I really don’t know the price… You may email me then..
TQ in advance.. I really confuse now, my sister said, why I so dumb, why don’t just ask them.. I don’t know, maybe shock or nervous..
P/S : Please ignore my broken English..
since they said u have been recommended,means u pass through the SI.you’ll have to wait for 6 months though until they get back to you and give ur offer letter depends on vacancy. good luck.
ayumi83,
perhaps ur sis is right. You have the right to know about ur current situation and by calling & talking to them nicely, it shows that you are really interested & eager to join them. Im not a Petronas staff (used to be their scholar, tp takdak rezki to work with them) but let me try to answer some of ur questions:-
1,2 & 3- “Congratulations, you are recommended and if there any development, we will inform later” – congratulation, u got the job! BUT it is a matter of time to know where & when are you going to start ur work. Yes, once u r recommended, they will submit ur application to their superior to get the approval + they will inform the OPU’s that might currently hv a vacancy & need ur expertise. This is a lengthy process.In your case, im not sure how long it will take, but 4 ‘recommended’ Pett scholars , it might takes months (kadang2 6 bln pon ade) to know when & where they are going to start working. so, be patient & do some ‘follow up’ and talk nicely to them.
4- Did they mentioned what position are they going to hire u? is it for E1 pos or E2 pos.. from what ive heard, for E1 its basically around that figure (or maybe 3k) . E2 can get higher pay.. but u can always talk & discuss with ur boss if u think u deserve higher pay since u hv 2 yr experience
benefit wise, mmg byk n u can find out later la.. Petronas is a big company what.. dont worry..
“Then, yesterday, I called Petronas to ask whats up. They said “I call because I want to know how many months notice for me leaving my current company””
ayumi, you,ve got a good point here. So go n talk nicely with them. Im sure they understand u.
Good luck working with petronas
Ohh thank you for answering me..
glad to hear it, at least I’m already in half way, I try not to happy yet coz i heard a lot of things about Petronas hiring procedure..
I guess I have to call them in Monday … Wish me luck, hoping for exact answer..
Thank you again, I will inform if good good news later, : )
Forgot: I’m apply for the post of Executive, General Ledger (basically it about account)
HI… good news for me.. Just got the letter..
hehe
Now the question is they offer RM4,000..
Is good enough, but I just want to know is there any benefit include..
or after my confirmation then I will get others benefit..
Hi Ayumi83, I am waiting for my offer letter to arrived since last week, when the HR told me that I hv been offered a job, and will start this Jan. My concern is, the offer letter is too late, and I havent tender my resignation yet.
The Offer letter, they send to u via Email or to By Mail to ur home? How soon u ned to report duly after u received the offer letter?Thanks
wallawehh…ayumi..u are very lucky person to be picked up and start ur work with Petronas…and with that RM4000 salary what do u expect more? (I get less then that)..I think for the benefit they should have what..? In term of medical, hospitality and i think many more..u don’t have to worry about that…i wish im in ur shoes…hehe…
as-salam..tumpang tanya..berapa lama kena tunggu offer tu selepas da dapat result structured interview?
Assalamualaikum, minggu lepas i ader interview katpetronas mlk.selalunya brp lm akanpggl u si? Hr kl call kerantaremail. Pls advise.

Hye ayumi83.. congratulations for being part of Petronas team. do appreciate if you could sharing your experience during the SI. i will attend the SI on next wednesday and looking some tips.. of course this is the great opportunity and i want to do the best to be offer from them..i dont want to put high hope as i know only those who are caliber enough will be hired..but i do want to ruin this chance.. since Eddyra went for the SI on 2007, i believed there must be some adjusment made on SI so it would be geat to get to know the latest SI experience.. please do share with me..owhhh.. i will be interviewed for HR post.. Thank you in advance ayumi83
hi there, i just want to know the process. i have pass all the structured interview, assessment and numerical test, and finally OPQ. completing all this, i received an email mentioned that i’ve shortlisted for petronas. but i still don’t receive any letter or email after that, my interview is on 28 may dis year. is there any confirmation or guarantee that i’m can get into petronas??
they will keep your name for 6 months and if there is any suitable position for you they will send you the offer letter. if you not receive anything within that period you can assume they will not offer you any position. that’s the normal practice.
Eddyra, it’s so funny reading this entry.. because back in 2007, I was the HR in PCSB who lead the Open Day team in Kuantan.. kekekek… so funny reading about your experience from a candidate’s prospective. anyway, i believe you’re already a petronas staff by now. =D
Hi Marz, i think we are applying for the same position….just attended the SI yesterday…since your session is on June, have you get any feedback from Petronas?
Assalamualaikum Bro Eddyra,
I’ll attend this Petronas SI tomorrow, thanks for this tips and wish me luck ya.
thanks for the info. Usually, how many percent people can get into Petronas after receiving the email as me? and do they inform we are not shortlisted after 6 months even though they already email that we are shortlisted at the beginning?
hai.. i got a call from PCSB saying my application is under process, haven’t been into an interview yet. Later the lady just wanted to confirm whether i’m still working or not. She also told me if wanted to know any info can call her. This thing keeps puzzling me until today (almost 2 weeks).. guess they just wanna confirm with me whether i’m working or not.. don’t wanna be perasan, or syok sendiri? ur comments?
Hi my fren is interested to join petronas. Is there any HR email address to deposit resume for chances to join petronas? Please help… Thanks…
