Tips for JPA Scholarship Application Interview

Hello! Are you guys having question mark when it comes to scholarship application? No worries! I am invited by your A+ teacher Mr. Sai Mun to share about my experiences with you guys here. Hope it helps :)

JPA and Sime Darby Scholarship 
I had attended two scholarship interviews before, which were held by JPA and Sime Darby respectively. And this took place at 2010. Let's start with Sime Darby first.

Sime Darby Scholarship a Short Adventure
The interview for Sime Darby is divided into different stages. Only those that are selected will be invited to join the further stage of interview session. Too bad, I only attended the first stage of the interview. Alright, here's my story. We were arranged into groups, a pretty small group which was made up of less than 10 persons if I'm not mistaken. And we take turns to enter the interview room group by group. During the interview session, we were asked to sit around a round table. The, we were given a paper. It was an article, and there were some questions as well. I remembered during my time, the article was about Harley Davidson. We were asked to discuss among each other regarding to the article and questions asked. The questions asked were mostly focus on business components. I remembered we were asked to give our opinion on how to increase the sales and revenue of the Harley Davidson as well as how to promote their products. And yea, that's all. This was the first stage of the interview. I was not chosen to enter the next stage, so yea. Haha. From what I heard from my friends, Sime Darby only offers their scholarships to a few students, perhaps less than 10.

JPA Scholarship a Better Bet 
Indeed, it is much more easier to get an offer from JPA. As what I concern, as long as you meet the minimum requirement (8 or 9 A+ and above), you will probably get the offer from JPA. Anyway, let's go back to interview part. Same as above, we were divided into groups and take turns to enter the room for interview. Firstly they will ask you to introduce yourselves, then give u a question and asked you to answer. It's a situation based question if my mind does not fool me. Oh ya, if I'm right, they do ask us 'what you wish to be in the future' and 'what and how can you contribute to the country with the profession you achieved'. Lastly, they will ask you about the course you interested in and which country u wish to go for studies and why. Yea, I think that's all for the interview session.

Tips to Impress Your Panel Interviewers
Anyway, from my point of view, it's better for you to talk about the good sides and achievements of yourselves during the introduction part. I think it may help you to impress the interviewers. But of course not to the level that making people feel that you're actually showing off. Just yea, try to make yourselves stand out from the others and always be impressive. All the students that are called for interview are smart students, same as you, with flying colour of spm result. So what makes you different from others are your non-academic achievements or some extra skills and knowledge. And also your performance during the interview of course.

Go All The Way to Impress Them & An Overseas Scholarship In Your Hands
Alright, here's a story I wanted to share. There's a girl. She was in the same group as me for the JPA interview. Before our turn, she was dressed as a office lady. However, when it was our turn, she disappeared for around 10 minutes and yea, we all waited for her. Ended up, she was back, and this time she was in baju kurung. She borrowed from her friend who just done with her interview, I heard from the conversation between her and friend. I am not sure whether baju kurung will help you to add impression mark or not, but she did it. Once we stepped inside the room, spontaneously, all of us stick our butt onto the chairs provided. But, she greeted the interviewers on by one and had a shake of hand. During the introduction part, she tended to talk about all of her achievements. She also mentioned that she's a scout and planning to take test to be King Scout and so on. She tended to talk a lot when it's her turn to speak. Perhaps you may think that it's a bit too over or what. Anyway, she got the offer from JPA to study at New Zealand. Because we were offered to study at the college, but different foundation course, and she's a friend of my friend. So, maybe you guys can take it as an example. Be impressive, that's the most important element.

I Got A Scholarship Too
And yea, I did get the offer from JPA. Currently doing biotechnology in Monash University Sunway Campus. There's quite a lot of benefits you can get from JPA. Before I entered Monash, I did MUFY (Monash University Foundation Year) at Sunway University College. Yea, foundation was paid by JPA too. It's a full scholarship, from foundation till you graduate with a degree. During foundation year, all of the scholars were 'required' to stay at hostel. Yea, JPA paid for us. Anyway, if you choose not to stay, and they do not check about it, then it's okay. We also get allowance from JPA every month, yea, EVERY month, even though during your school holidays. When it goes into degree, JPA no longer offer you free hostel, but your allowance is increased. For you to pay for hostel perhaps.

'Bonding' a Scary Word
About the bonding, based on what I know about it so far, during the bonding period, we are required to work at Malaysia, no matter you work for government or private company. You must work at Malaysia during that period, that's it. Maybe the policy has changed because before this those JPA students are required to work with government once they graduated in order to fulfill the bond. One more thing, the scholarship is offered until your degree, you can apply to further study your master as well. But I'm not too sure whether this will increase your bond with JPA or not.

Have you heard of Upgrading Your Course?
Ohya, one more thing. For example, my case, JPA offered me science course at Monash University and to take MUFY for foundation at Sunway University. We can choose to upgrade our offer to a different course, which mean change the course they offer you to a course that has higher requirement in Monash University. For instance, the requirement MUFY mark in order to pursue science course at Monash University is average 290/400 and above, while the requirement MUFY mark for engineering and medicine are 320/400 and 360/400. So in this case, if JPA offers you science course, you can upgrade your offer to engineering or medicine, if you meet the requirement. But you cannot downgrade your offer.

One more, let's say if your foundation mark failed to meet the requirement to enter Monash University, JPA will offer you doing the same course but at different university that you can enter with your foundation mark.

Yea, that's all. Hope it helps. Good luck and all the best. Thank you. :)

Oil & Gas Engineer is Where Work Meets Fun

Thinking of Becoming a Petroleum Engineer?

Accounting,medical, law, banking, engineering, so on and so forth; those are just some of the field of work that most students will venture into after the last bell rings in your secondary school time. Well, those are all great choices that promise bright futures ahead. Most of you will be wearing suits and ties and heading to work in big fancy offices in the middle of the bustling city. This is where I will be trying to my humble abilities in sharing with you a field of work that is less well known (perhaps not to some of you).

“Oil and Gas” (O&G) should be a familiar term to most of you as news regarding our Malaysian O&G industry are all over the pages of our leading newspapers lately. With so much investments pouring into our country to make us an O&G hub, it is wise to join this industry as graduates related to this line of work are in demand. I will be sharing with you some of the courses that will serve you in good stead in the future in the world of “Black Gold”.

 

 Offshore Oil Rig 

 What to study?

Of course, to get the ball rolling, you will need to go for an engineering degree. The 5 main courses you should go for are:

Petroleum Engineering
Well Engineering
Geology / Geoscience / Petrophysics
Drilling Engineering
Chemical Engineering

Besides those two as mentioned, there are other relevant courses as well which you can go for and should still land you a career in the world of O&G such as:

Mechanical Engineering
Mechatronics Engineering

In the real working world, employers from this field look for graduates who hold at least a Bachelor’s degree with Honors from a major university in any of the above disciplines.

During your adventure in the 5 main courses, you will gain valuable exposure to the industry with possibly first hand experiences of going offshore to a platform to witness how things are done during your industrial training.

 Hot Chicks in Chemical Engineering Undergraduate 

 Potential Pitfalls - Booksmart vs Streetsmart

While you may be good with numbers and figures, or as they say being booksmart, that quality alone is not enough to propel you into being hired by a potential Multinational O&G company. As we all know our education system emphasizes almost solely on academic excellence, unfortunately you will have to find a way to develop your social skills outside of school.

Have you ever wondered why the top figures in the world today can just walk up to the stage and deliver a masterclass speech? Look no further than the late Steve Jobs, founder of Apple. If you haven’t watched his product presentation before, you should! The way he captured the awe of his audience was just amazing.

In relevance to our discussion here, employers from this field (or any other line of work) will look for people who are confident, presentable, sociable as well as smart. Reality is that when you are working on a rig or a platform, you have to be able to mix around with the other crew onboard to get jobs done. A blend of brains as well as street smart will definitely serve you well.

The late Steve Jobs can be the best Petroleum Engineer 

Don't Be Narrow Minded 

Focusing on your course majoring is great, but being narrow minded and shutting off information about the latest brouhaha in the industry, is not. For example, student A only researches about the chemistry behind a certain petroleum formula while ignores news and updates regarding the industry. At the end of the day, all he has to show is just his researches and when the interviewer asks him about drilling, production, etc, silence fills the room. Meanwhile, student B who is in the same course as A, is not as passionate about his studies as A, but reads up and keeps abreast with the latest on-goings by reading articles or magazines.

Without a shadow of a doubt, the potential employer will hire B due to his widespread of knowledge. That’s what this industry about. You may not have to know the details down to the molecular level, it’s all about balance and knowing a bit of everything will certainly mean no harm to your appeal in the market.

Perks of Working

Success is Just Ahead, Be Patience

Here comes the fun part! I know all of you have been yawning thus far but hey, as they say, save the best for last J. The first thing that comes to the minds of those who are about to begin their working life is none other than the pay. You all by now might have a rough idea of how much a fresh grad earns in a normal 8-5 job. Let’s just say inflation has so thus far outgrown our pay scale.

Should you choose the road less taken, which is to get out of the comforts of your home and take an adventure to experience a working life like no others, the reward on the table is reasonably fair. It is normal for our parents to be advising us all the time to make our fortune while we are still young so this is a rare opportunity for young adults to be affordable within a few years. Not many other jobs in the office offer such route unless you are a genius with the stock market or investment banks.

As a young adult, it certainly does your credentials no harm at all by taking up a challenge that requires you to travel all over and stay in places where you wouldn’t have dreamt of under normal circumstances. A couple of years down the road, not many can walk around saying they have been around the Middle East, Asia, and even Europe. Another thing is, depending on your role, you could be a home based engineer where you have a fixed schedule of a month offshore and a month at home. Talking about saying goodbye to the infamous KL traffics every morning and going on a holiday with your loved ones when the rest are stuck in the office!

With Malaysia currently aiming to boost its credentials as an O&G hub and as well as the demand for more energy in the near future, talents from this line of work will be in great demand. Simple economics will tell us that when demand outstrips supply, the price (pay) will definitely go up as we (the workforce) will have plenty of bargaining chips.

Oil & Gas Engineer can go for a holiday during time off

Job Prospects : The Industry Needs You

As mentioned earlier, demands for engineers from the O&G world is always there. Try google-ing up “oilfied engineer vacancy”, you will be surprised with the amount of jobs available. Not too long ago, Roshan Thiran from The Star Jobs wrote an interesting article about this line.

http://mystarjob.com/

From time to time, we read news about new oilfield discoveries on newspapers and words like “development”, “production”, and “exploration” are indicators of more jobs to be created. As companies look to produce the new found reservoirs, plenty of new jobs will be created. So, with Malaysia looking to increase its oil production to cater for its local demand, expect more projects to be executed in the next few years.

Here is a list of companies in Malaysia that you should pay attention to: 

Petronas 

Shell 

Halliburton 

Schlumberger 

Baker 

Hughes 

Gyrodata

Salary : How much are you getting paid? 

Go to PayScale.com Petroleum Engineer Salary

Careers In Oil and Gas.com Oil and Gas Salary

Outfit of the day : Myself during working offshore

Now Listen Up! 

With so much being said, by now you should have a rough idea of what this line of work is all about. What I have shared with you is just the very tip of the iceberg and should you be interested in getting down dirty with it, all the information that you need is available on the internet for free. It is a well rewarding and satisfying job especially for fresh grads as you will have a bundle of energy and enthusiasm, the 2 key personalities required to succeed at this level. Last but not least, let our life mantra be as “Live, Work, Play”. Look to see you guys and girls offshore in the future! Last but not least, below are some sneak peek into what life is all about over there. Enjoy.

Adios!

Another day in paradise ... Not! J

Woooiii.....A+ Students Here

We Believe Every Student Can Do It

Every student is unique in its own way, but all of them will strive to be successful. Its just human nature, we all want to be successful. We teach students from different levels, some are weak, some are talented in math, some are talkative, some are just plain lazy, but i have to say they all actually want to do well in exams. Get the A+.

In their heart, they just want to do well in exams if they can. What school teachers and tutors are doing is to help them reach their highest potential. Show them how to achieve it and they will learn and use the same habits over and over again. I believe its the combination of efforts of the student + parents + school teachers + tuition teachers.

 Yee Yong Sheng 95% Chemistry, SMK Kepong Baru

Lim Siz Kai 95% Physics SMK St Mary Selayang

Tee Hoe Woon 95% Physics SMK Kepong Baru

Lim Yik Han 90% Chemistry SMK Kepong Baru

 

 an impressive Full Marks 20/20

4 Steps To Be An Outstanding Student ( A T A S )

#1. Absorb:You must first absorb and understand what is in the syllabus. What are they trying to teach you and you need to understand the basic theories, like how it works, how to calculate, what is the key ideas in the chapter, physics principles, chemical properties, chemical formulas and all.
A+ Tutor : We will simplify the concepts and arrange it to be easily absorbed.

#2. Test: Then you must look at examinations questions. Test papers, Past Year Papers, Final Exam Papers, State Papers. Go through some of it if not all of it, so that you can understand what is required for you to know, what are the things they gonna ask you, how they structured the questions. Like physics they like to ask relate, compare, suggest and modify. Like Chemistry they like to ask equations, explain and state. 
A+ Tutor : We will compile and prepare all the popular questions in our notes.

#3.  Answer: The 3rd step is the most important step, you need to learn how to answer it accurately. Only precise and accurate answers will be awarded marks. You cannot just simply write an answer an expect the examiner to give you marks, you must learn how to write in a way to show you understand. Learn to use keywords, key phrases, where to write the units, how to structure and arrange your answers to give you full marks.
A+ Tutor: Discussion on how to answers and how examiners mark their answers is a must.

#4  Stay: For any human, we have the tendency to forget. This step is to develop skills and techniques to ensure useful information can be stored in your mind for a longer period of time or permanently. Learn to use codes, mnemonics and repetition helps a lot. If you can't remember, keep repeating, keep reading over and over again, say it out loud or just keep drawing over and over again
A+ Tutor: We teach them codes and techniques on how to remember .

Lim Siz Kai Chemistry 97% SMK St Mary Kuala Lumpur

 Lim Siz Kai Physics 97% SMK St Mary Kuala Lumpur
Ngo Jun Yan Chemistry 93% SMK Kepong Baru
Lam Yin Ker Chemistry 90% SMK Kepong Baru

  Reward always Works

A good reward always works. Always remember to put the reward long before the actual exams, this way, the students have plenty of time to prepare and work hard for the upcoming test/exams. Parents play a big role here, reward them with simple gift like movie tickets, lunch treat, money and etc.
 

For us we pay them CASH, rm10 for each A+

Habits you learn in high school will be very useful throughout your adult life,
I have seen many successful individuals using 'A T A S' in their career and it works great.

Wishing you best of luck
