Recently I was being interviewed as Head Of Maintenance at QatarEnergy LNG.
I believe I was the youngest candidate for manager role ( I mingle around obviously). Key takeaways I would like to share,
1. For those who have stayed in the company for more than 5 years, it is quite impossible to list out all achievements that you did during the short time IV session,only highlight what matters. In my case I have various backgroud as Instrument Engineer, Turnaround, Operation and Maintenance Supvs, the questions keep on coming as to what you wrote in your resume.
2. Research. Research it right.
I do have friends working in Qatar, when I asked around initially I thought it was for Maintenance Supervisor role, caused clearly stated technician was reporting under Head Of Maintenance. Different organisation have different title. Boy I was wrong, only at the end of the IV when I asked then I realized it was for Manager role. If I can turn back the time, for sure I’ll be entering James Bond style.
3. The right mindset
You have to imagine you are jobless, because when u do, u tend to go all out. I didn’t. This is my first iv after so many years, here I learned valuable lessons/experiences.
I wish all the candidates success and I deeply respect the expension project by QE, a lot of technologies/methodology can be applied back to all the marginal fields here in Malaysia.
Anyway, I hope to see you soon Madinah.
P/s: Madinah is a place in Saudi Arabia, not a person. Need to put disclaimer to avoid being interrogated by special force at home. 😘😘
