CERITA MENARIK: CEO Petronas Malaysia 2013

Mungkin ada yang masih belum kenal dan mungkin dah ramai yang kenal, lebih lebih lagi yang sekarang ni sedang bekerja di Petronas. Secara am, kita sibuk duk kenal JUTAWAN termuda dan terkaya di Malaysia (sini), tak lain tak bukan pemilik SAPURA KENCANA. Tapi kita memang kurang mengenali siapakah CEO Petronas? Dia ini pun jutawan ke? Bab ini memang susah nak jawab sebab Petronas ialah badan kerajaan, Sapura itu swasta. Jadi anda fikirkan sendiri ya.

Datuk Shamsul Azhar Abbas ialah CEO dan Presiden PETRONAS.

Sedikit cerita pasal bagaimana beliau berada di tempatnya sekarang macam ini. Pada tahun 1975, beliau hanya mula memasuki Petronas dengan pangkat executive trainee sahaja. Berkat kesungguhan dan kegigihan, beliau mula naik pangkat perlahan-lahan sehinggalah memegang banyak jawatan penting dalam Petronas. Jawatan terakhir dipegangnya sebelum seperti sekarang ialah CEO Malaysia International Shipping Corporation Berhad (MISC). Oh ya, dalam bab pelajaran, beliau memegang Degree in Political Science from University Malaya, Master of Science Degree in Energy Management from University of Pennsylavania, USA dan Technical Diploma in Petroleum Economics from Institute Francaise du Petrole (IFP), France.

Lepas diperkenankan oleh PM kita, pada tahun 2010, beliau mulalah menjawat jawatan sebagai CEO Petronas pula. Umurnya sekarang ialah 61 tahun. Salah satu projek mega yang beliau sekarang tengah jalankan ialah menukar Ports di Johor dan kawasan seangkatannya menjadi hub Oil & Gas yang disegani. Projek RAPID itu pun temasuklah sekali. 

WORLD TOP 20: Oil and Gas Company (2013)

Last year, I have posted about WORLD TOP 25: Oil and Gas Company (2012). Now let's move on to the new list. As always, this list is being taken from FORBES website, so you can tell it is true or not. Keep in mind that, companies listed below is arranged according to combined volumes of Oil and Natural Gas produce per day. Hope you enjoy knowing the sequence!

20. Statoil (Norway) - 2.00 Million barrels [Previous Ranking: 20th]

19. Petroleum De Venezuela S.A. (Venezuela) - 2.10 Million barrels [Previous Ranking: 22th]

18. Sonatrach (Algeria) - 2.19 Million barrels [Previous Ranking: 12th]

17. Iraq Oil (Iraq) - 2.22 Million barrels [Previous Ranking: 16th]

16. Lukoil (Russia) - 2.30 Million barrels [Previous Ranking: 18th] 

15. Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (UAE) - 2.40 Million barrels [Previous Ranking: 11th] 

14. Qatar Petroleum (Qatar) - 2.40 Million barrels [Previous Ranking: 17th]  

13. Petrobras (Brazil) - 2.50 Million barrels [Previous Ranking: 14th] 

12. Total (France) - 2.60 Million barrels [Previous Ranking: 13th]

2. Gazprom (Russia) - 8.10 Million barrels [Previous Ranking: 2nd]   

1. Saudi Aramco (Saudi Arabia) - 12.70 Million barrels [Previous Ranking: 1st]  

Eh, a list is missing out, where is PETRONAS from Malaysia? Last year it was 25th but I think this year it would be maintain around that position (Forbes only listed out 20 companies this year). As a conclusion, what more can I say? No 1 is way too far from no 2. No 2 is also too far from no 3. But in this list there are 3 RUSSIAN companies. Beware of that?! But I am still proud as many Arabian companies are in the list as well. Share it if you like.

GOOD EVER TIPS: How to Easily Pass Interview as Sales Engineer

Hey all!

As the title said, so you want to be a Sales Engineer huh? Seriously? How bad it is? Well, that is the very first basic of all. WHY DO YOU WANT THE JOB? Let’s not talk about the company or benefit first. Just think about the job. List down your HONEST REASON why do you want the job. Don’t worry it is just you and God know it. Some people want the job because of opportunity to improve your public relationship skills, some want it simply because they can travel a lot. And yours?

The second is, the INTERVIEW QUESTIONS. I have gone to several interviews. Of course some was a success and some was not. But let me share something, the VERY IMPORTANT TIPS to remember during an interview are:

THINK BEFORE YOU SAY

It is not necessary that you must straight away answer the question like reading a text book! Make them feel like you are thinking something, like staring elsewhere a moment, then talk. Of course what you tell them must be carefully thought first. The advantage is, they will impress with your answer and think that you are smart because you think before you say.

BE FOCUS

Hey, you are in the interview session. Can you at least forget what you going to grab for lunch after this? Or going to meet your close friend? Or maybe what to cook tonight?!! For guys, the worst case would be the interviewer is so damn pretty. HAHA. Now what do you want? A job? Or crush for love at the first sight? Come on, be focus!

TALK LOUD AND CLEAR

Like me, before I start, I will drink some mineral water and shout as loud as I could. It is to ensure that my voice is loud and clear. Apart from that, it can also overcome that nervousness. As a result, I managed to make sure everything I want to tell, is well understood by the interviewers.

STICK TO YOUR POINT

Have you ever talked something then finally the end is not related at all to what you are initially trying to say? That is the problem. I advise you that once you said something to the interviewer, no matter how you say, even if your find it deviates too much, try to talk more until the topic always back to your what you have told them earlier.

HOW TO CONVINCE THAT YOU ARE THE RIGHT PERSON

A typical answer you need to prepare beforehand. How can you convince them that you have what it takes for something that you are not even know? Well, as a rule of thumb, do not lie. If you don’t know tell the truth. But if you think you have something related, go on, and tell them that you are confident that because you are having some experience in it and you can convert it to fulfill the job responsibilities.

HOW DO YOU PROMOTE SOMETHING NEW

Yup. The hardest question so far for me. Good presentation maybe the answer. But how do you tell how good is good? Now explain to them. First of all, you must have connections, then strong product information and the rest, your presentation will be very skillful.

OK, that is all. Actually I am not that good. But I just shared all of my important tips for interview as above. As now I am focus to find Sales job, so that is why. But I believe it is still applicable to the rest of interviews isn’t? Good luck!

TERBAIK: Tawaran Kerja Bergaji RM20,000 Sebulan

Laporan ekslusif ini dibawa oleh CNN Money – mungkin anda tertanya-tanya apakah pekerjaan yang memastikan anda mendapat gaji paling rendah sebulan pun dalam RM7,000 tanpa sebarang pengalaman atau kemahiran khusus? Tapi pekerjaan ini sebenarnya sangat berbahaya dan terdedah kepada risiko kecederaan yang serius, ditambah lagi dengan kehidupan yang seolah-olah seperti “padang jarak padang terkukur” – bosan habis! Jawapannya ialah pekerjaan di PELANTAR MINYAK (offshore @ oil rig).

Gambar Hiasan. Kesian kat penyu ini!

Kalau mengikutkan laporan CNN pada tahun 2011, purata gaji yang mungkin boleh didapat jika anda bekerja di pelantar minyak ialah RM20,000 sebulan. Bagi yang memiliki pengalaman dan sangat berpengetahuan tinggi, gajinya sebulan boleh mencecah RM50,000! Tapi jangan bimbang, experience dalam 1 tahun pun dah membolehkan anda memperolehi RM14,000 sebulan. Dan lastly, untuk general worker macam tukang susun barang ke ape ke gajinya sebulan RM7,000. Beb! Otai betul gaji diorang ni! Tapi focus utama post kali ini ialah untuk MENYEDARKAN anda semua, gaji mereka ini bukan dibayar saja je sebaliknya ada sebab tertentu. BAHAYA – perkataan yang memang dah jadi lumrah bagi diorang. Kalau tak percaya tengoklah malapetaka yang menimpa pelantar-pelantar minyak seperti dibawah.

Kalau bukan sebab terbakar, meletup, karam, bencana alam, memang selamatlah selalu pelantar minyak ini. Jadi anda rasa anda sanggup? Memang setakat ini Alhamdulillah kat Malaysia tidak ada lagi kejadian besar seperti ini. Tapi MALANG tidak berbau, Allah maha menentukan segalanya. Kalau terjadi, terjadilah jua. JADI, fikirkanlah kembali angan-angan anda mahu bekerja di pelantar minyak. Kalau nak juga boleh, tapi janganlah dilupai tuhan ya, selalulah mintak perlindunganNYA.

P/s: Aku tidak pernah bekerja di pelantar. Kalau sesiapa yang tahu, tolong betulkan ya. Terima kasih!
