Hi All

Salam wbt and hi guys.


It has been a while.


Nothing much interesting going on with me so far.


At the moment, I am at the rig known as Mick O' Brien. First time here and I have been here nearly two weeks.


It has been slow and steady operation.


I don't really like the environment at this rig.


Maybe it is new rig to me, new client, new crew. So I am not used to.


Since it is slow and steady environment, I have been using this opportunity to look for something else.


I applied for New Zealand scholarship - It got rejected. It is ok.


I applied for several jobs on LinkedIn. This has been routine by spending 2/3 of my shift doing this.


Scrolling and looking for opportunities to pursue studies at higher level. However, I am not sure what course I want to do without the feeling of I will be struggling.


I also have been thinking of the next job I want to go for. One of it is project engineer, in my perspective I will get opportunities involved with bigger subjects and widen my spectrum. Planning, decision making, making changes, and contribute.


Not just doing MWD Engineer thing - Repeat and repeat.


However, I do not specify the sector of the project engineer I want to be. The shortfall from this, I don't know what skills, certifications, qualifications, and experience required to fit into this position.


Applying jobs everyday wont land be a better position if I don't have what is required, right?


All I know, I want to do something bigger and contribute significantly to this.


But, I don't know how.


I think I will need external mentor to guide me.


I am totally blank.


I am with one of the MWD Engineer name Elaine, she is resigning and will leave soon.


This really strengthen my desire to find something better, and value added to myself as well as future development.


Previous month, I was working with Putri. She is now ex-SLB as she joins the client's company.


I mean, I will be over the moon if I can be the third engineer putting the resignation letter and go to another company. Right now, the current role is like working in the circus and doing a monkey business.


Maybe I don't fully understand of what is happening, regardless I don't want to spend another year to be in the stage of understanding. By that time, I will regret and saying I should have left earlier.


I am working on it to the direction in finding another jobs.


I want to achieve more, and I could not do it here with my current unexplored capacity.


I am welcoming any advices, insights, and guidance from you. I somehow feeling stupid.


Thank you all for reading.


Till next time.


P/S - Nothing to PS



See you at the next pit stop
