Salam En Sulaiman,
Saya baru sahaja selesai menjalani peperiksaan kertas akhir SHO di NIOSH. Saya kini menjadi Safety, Health & Environmental Officer di syarikat pembuatan ‘aircraft parts’. Ingin juga mencari peluang kerjaya di bahagian oil & gas ini. Saya banyak melakukan tugasan seperti audit, inspection dan accident investigation. Cuma mungkin work experience belum cukup banyak lagi…
