Exxon Mobil Equipment tech or Operations Tech?

Hi guys, i just applied for ops techs for EM on 5th of June. Read that some of you guys waited for month meaning i won't be hearing from them any time soon i guess.

I have a diploma in IT, definitely not relevant to oil/gas industry but i am working in the shipping port as a senior operations supervisor for close to 4 years. Hopefully that will help boost my chances to be an ops tech in EM.

hi, just went for an ops tech interview today. the interviewer nv ask me for any qualifications or anything. he just ask me to define what is safety, honesty and teamwork. and briefly describe myself. do u think I stand any chance? I hold a diploma in info comm technology which is done in the singapore polytechnic engineering sch and I have some work experience as a firefighter and from a big electronics manufacturing mnc. I scored b3 in my o levels for maths english and physics/chemistry. do u think I stand a chance?

Dude, you got diploma in IT?? wow same as me. maybe i stand a chance liao. u alr got called up for the interview, sure stand a chance man!

i still yet to hear from them

To wow: yeap. Got interview. Because i passed my o levels. Think even if accepted i will be drawing o levels pay. So far no news. Did u passed ur o levels maths english and chemistry? And any experience in high end production? If yes then maybe stand a chance. But i think my chance is not high. Because got alot of interviewees got diploma in chemical process. One was even an intern with them. Usually they confirm the hire on the spot. So think my case is gone

huh, i tot you mentioned you have a diploma?

Ya i have a diploma and pass all my subjects in O levels.

Take some positivity about it. The fact that you were invited for the interview among all others simply means its half the battle won. Even If you didnt get it, at least you know you did your best.

Im having my interview this coming monday. Good luck to you and me.

Anyways, I was just wondering, the interview is to last at least 4hrs, You mind sharing the whole interview programme?

when did you apply for the job? All of you already got called up, i am still waiting for news......sad

I applied somewhere in February. I just got the call last week. almost 4 months.

Been reading up alot in this forum. Mostly all diploma, Mine NITEC only. All the best to me!

LOL!

doesnt matter bro. most of all these jobs you wont know anything. we all learn thru on job training. the only difference is the starting pay since you only have Nitec, but what matters most is getting into EM.

Good luck for your interview.

Yeap. I have a diploma in computer engineering field. But sunce its not related, they ask me for my o levels whether i passed chemistry or not. Doesn't matter if u r a nitec or dip. Just go for it. I applied somewhr in march.
