There were 10 students from Curtin University Sarawak Campus attending PGCE (Petroleum Geoscientist
Conference and Exhibition) 2012 that was held at Kuala Lumpur Conventional
Centre for two days to gain tips and informations about getting into the oil and gas industry.
On 23rd

Then, after lunch, we attended a special student

winning team. Winners will be invited to the PGCE Gala Dinner for the prize
giving ceremony and will be receiving 2 iPads! The University of Malaya grabbed the price. The first runner up is from UTP. But it is proudly to say that Curtin is one of
the top 5! BRAVO!
For the second day we filled our times jumping from booth to
booth at the exhibition. There were a lot of oil and gas companies around the
world that we actually don’t know. During that day, we met up with some of our
seniors too! Some of them were the exhibitors, some dropping their CVs for job
applications, and some just want to meet up old friends. The booths were decorated
creatively with a lot of interesting activities to interact the visitors. A lot
of awesome prizes like iPads, Samsung Galaxy gadgets, MP3s and more were given away for lucky draws, speed games and quizzes.
At the end of the day, everyone was satisfied with experience and
knowledge gain for working life in oil and gas industries. We wish all the
Final Year the best for their working life and the future.
