my interview with petttt (once upon a time ago)

this is one of many series of me hating our own local big oil company.

the time was nearly 10 years ago but still fresh in my mind and the anger and hate still in me. tried to kill that but still cant and daily its become greater and greater.

i was in my final year for my degree...usually in japan, during that time almost all studenthave jobs from known companies and very less are still struggling to get jobs.

my malaysian frenz also had secured their jobs in matsushita, hitachi, pioneer and so on. i did went to the interviews but i dont know why, i didnt get the job. clearly im not that good enuf for that company.

then there was an opportunity going to interview with our pettt..

im so happy and get ready for the interview...many things i read before that..econs in malaysia,technology in malaysia..oil technologies and so on..

got to the interview and passed...untill final interview (i think the 4th one)...

there are 4 other ppl with me that time...

ok no hussle, relax and answer with honesty and correctly....

then at the end of the interview, the panels tell me that they cant hire me now but they will put my files in their archives..

humm..just wondering and asked them "em do u mind to tell me why i didnt get hired?"

one of them just like "sengih sindir" and said "we are sorry, we only hire our scholars".

humm...what the fxxx...

u already knew im not ur scholar before, and before i even attended the interviews but stillwhy did u call me and let me passed all the interviews before?..

just to waist my time so that i cant try to find any other jobs in other companies?

come on...searching for jobs was not easy that time..was in end of 2000..97 malaysia economic downturn..many ppl get sacked, many ppl "mengangur" and very difficult to get good jobs.
even in japan the hiring rate was very low...

hmm..i went out of the meeting and said to them "thank you for your time" ..i did want to say"thank you for waisting my time" but thinking later on maybe ill face the same ppl, so i triedto be nice..haha.

i met other 4 ppl and asked if they are pet scholar..n they were!...later on i knew that all those 4 pplget hired and were sent to several places for training and work..

so to those ppl out there that are from pet scholars or from unipet...

just think back and pls realize that ure lucky enuf to be hired without any questions..apart from have to sign for a looooong bonding period (7 years?..)

rather than ppl that have good grades and trying very hard to get into pet..but cant just simply becoz they are not "pet ppl".

be more ambitious and learn more to make our ppl stronger..and can survive in "mat saleh" monopoly world.

now im not "iri hati" with all of you pet guys becoz i know that u did join pet bcoz of ur "pet status" not bcoz ur talent...but this only applies with freshies..

for otai2 out there, dont be mistaken...ure been hired becoz of ur "pengalaman" and some of u becoz of your "cables and kroni"...haha..

so for freshies...dont just brag around and showing off to other ppl your "petronas executive" name card...as u join as an executive but ure still "kuli"...haha.
