Week In Review

It was a week fill with event that will keep me on my toes. An interview session, followed by BARDEGG Project Alignment workshop and continued with another interview session.
Continuing from the interview session in Nestle PJ, the agenda for the week was somehow building the momentum towards my real target which was the interview session for HSE Specialist in one of PETRONAS Subsidiaries.
Sharing a little bit of the interview session experience at Nestle, it went very very well, as I have done a little bit of last minute homework for the interview. I would consider the experience of attending the interview as, one of a kind, a new experience attending interview session as it was far different from the sessions that I had before. I am not sure whether it should be called interview session, but instead I would call it a chit chat session.
First, the whole session took about only 30 minutes. That included the time I spent chatting with PJ Factory Mgr most of the time asking about himself. I was not sure whether we have started the proper interview session as the HR Manager was not in the room at that time. That was the time I started the conversation with the FM asking him about his age, how long he has been in PJ and other sort of coffe table talk just to brake the ice. By the time the HR joined us, she was the one who was asking a proper interview questions. To my surprise, towards the end of the session I was told by the HR manager that she was previously from PETRONAS.
Secondly, I did not give my heart out during the chat session as I had asked Azam, the other candidate how bad did he want the job. Though he said he was not so desperate for it, if you drove down from Kedah to PJ, just to attend a one hour interview, it tells you how he probably took the interview with high interest. During the session I could go on telling the interviewers how relevant I am to the plant or vacancy, with my experience managing TPM activity in RTD plant, but somehow I did not. That was after I have considered that my friend needs the job more than I do. That probably the reason why my session ended so soon. After the interview session ended, upon walking through the entrance gate of PJ complex, I was a little bit relieved although it end up so soon. It was as good as I have informed to my friend that he is the right candidate for the job instead of me.

BARDEGG2 Project Alignment
It was the second visit that I have attending workshop at Kuala Lumpur Convention Center. Very easy to go there even you do not have GPS to assist. I can't remember the first time I went there, probably attending event organised by Corporate HSE, now a defunct unit of Group HSE. Various reasons that made me remember everything about the venue. First the green scenery of KLCC park could be easily enjoy by revellers of KL Convention Center. The park is located next to it,where we can see the greenery of the park through the glass wall surrounding the Convention Center. It is far bigger than the glass wall with the same concept at KLIA. The other reason that I remember most about it is the Cafe where we had refreshment and lunch during the workshop. The menu was far more than what you could expect. Free flow of all kind of drinks including can drinks. I was looking forward to sumptous dim sum dishes being offered there. So with both scenery and foods, we could expect that the objective of any workshop conducted there will be met.
BARDEGG project workshop, is a session when the project team convene and discuss among various package owners and stakeholder namely SHELL Non Operating Venture and PCSB Sarawak Operation, in identifying potential issues when the installation and comissioning campaign started next year. Me and the other staff from SKO were invited as our capacity of custodion of SKO Operation. As a custodian we will be consulted on the region requirement and we are expected to raise the concerns which may affect region KPI and performance. I was selected as representative to look into HSE related issue.
