RedBenson:

Disappear jare from here b4 i open my eyes. Wetin u wan go 'mascom' for oil? Abeg go becom town cryer for ur village jare. Everybody wan chop oil money. Na wao.

PortHarcourtBoy: [size=30pt]Those days when we dey Uni dey study
Petroleum Engineering, we bin dey happy say when we gradj we go work for oil company...my brother, when we finish, even groundnut oil company we
no see...[/size]

lymelyte:
looooooooooooollll @redbenson you nor go kill person.Abeg give d guy small hope na..engineers never get work finish for oil coy,na mass com wan con get abi

Thebrightest: I am suppose to type END TIME THINGS, but i wont.

lymelyte:
bro,i have the same dream as you.i am a production engineering graduate whom will be serving this nation come nov.I want to do thread a path information technology too but i dont know how to go about it.Please can you shed more light on how to do this.
God bless you as your reply back.

How is it ever going to be tapped, when everybody wants to work in the oil companies?
Even the government has refused to transit the nation to a service-oriented economy, and prefers to sit and wait for oil forex receipts.

kashflynn: See comfort zone seekers and medoecarcy at its peak.. So all the engineers wants to get employed in d oil sector even after jaru has made it clear dats its a tight sector only d best are choosen.. Shame on u all, Nigeria has d potential of making some d world richest man on Forbes list.. And instead of our unemployed graduates to put good use of their skill to create somfin of benefits to mankind and in turn create job and make money, they follow d crowed, after we blame government for no job, and we dont won't to create. Problem rise and solution and preferred dats d basic concept of science. Even dough i know economic factor to encourage d private sector is not too strong, but still ppl are making it: through positivity, dedication and commitment.. U cant expect ur parents to raise and Train u till adulthood, and do d same till u die... Anyway d spot, profile, portfolio lyk dangote, Bill Gate, Steve jobs (R.I.P), zara, Ralph luaren to mention a few, aren't ment 4 every 1, but a few noble and courageous set of humanbein lyk me... #team diversify Nigeria Economy.. I wish u all well in ur endeavor

MzShawtiez: Nigerians and deir negativity. Dis is sm1 dat read pet engineering o....if his course was microbiology or Fishery all dese ur "der r oda sectors 2 b tapped" comments wud hv made sense. D OP is only trying 2 get in2 d sector he went 2 school 4. Abi who go enter sch read petroleum engineerin because he wan work 4 bank...
@ OP... jarus, X-fire and a few gave reasonable advice, work with dis accounting firm 4 now. If u can get into oil company in future, fine. If u cnt, still thankGod 4 d 1 u hv

x-fire:
Jarus has said it all. Very good contribution, I must say.
But let me add a few things:

Even with a good grade and various certifications, it still takes a bit of luck, chance and timing to break into the oil and gas industry. I know a number of very sound first class engineering graduates still struggling to break into it. I wanna tell you that a lot of guys in the industry would sincerely tell you they were lucky break into the industry. But with hard work and favour on your side, you will smile at the end.

I must admit it's quite difficult to compete with the large number of engineering graduates for very few vacancies. But do keep that option open while you rigorously pursue breaking into the sector via your accounting experience. I have met a few graduates that have crossed over from banks/FCMG to join oil coys as engineers. I advise you to always take the interview stages one at a time. You will be surprised how far you will go.

It's important that you perform wherever you find yourself. Most recruiters are looking for professionals/graduates who can distinguish themselves or have a track record of performance, irrespective of the field of endeavour. So I advise you to make the best use of your opportunity right now. I never started out as an engineer in my sojourn in the labour market.

One last thing:even though first class has enormous advantages, you don't have to have a first class to get into the oil and gas industry. You just need to have a 2.1 and prove yourself in aptitude tests and interviews. Many first class graduates get screened out during these stages. So don't be discouraged in case you didn't make a first class.

What do u want me to shed more light on?? Opening a thread or what?

Trying to make some sense out of your abbreviated jargon, but . . . why did he study petroleum engineering in the first place? Or was he chosen like Mary to bear Jesus?

It's no rocket science to explain why anyone would want to study petroleum engineering in Nigeria. In any case, even Microbiology and Fisheries grads are also trying to get into oil companies.

Trac: I'd advise anyone trying to get into the oil sector to make out a clear objective and optimise that. Many are not fit candidates. Yet they have degrees. This clouds the demarcation to differentiate those truly fit from the misfits. Companies - in today's times - do not want to pay for the training and then conclude it as a total loss, because the trained employee fails to meet job criterion/a.

Typical training cost about $30,000 (more or less). The money may not be the factor of annoyance but the downtime.

How do you prove yourself? A graduating set is at equality in terms of academic knowledge, thus degree is issued. What differentiates an alumnus from the other is the experience and concerned continuous-studies. In other words, meet the companies half-way. Spend some money and acquire some skills and certification(s). Your intellectual knowledge at this point is put to test. It might be a bit late for some people but it isn't. Those [still] in school should see to it that they acquire as much (much as in quality) as they can.

Mechanical-Engineers are decentralised. They are more diversed. Industrial/Manufacturing are the most flexible and needed. Petroleum is very restrictive because it is a dedicated and applied form of mechanical engineering. Nevertheless, the ground is still common.

What skills are many presenting to the oil companies to differentiate from others? The approach should be to eliminate or minimise the competition for consideration.

For Business oriented graduates or undergrads, there are lots of areas that makes you economically valuable.


No doubt: I am discussing with reasonable people here. The summary is to prove that you are of economical value to the proposed company and worth the investment.

Go easy! Everybody is not all the same and wont all be Bill Gates, life is a journey for all of us and our destinations differs. Nobody should be criticized for having a legitimate desire.

We will support you if you open a thread to support what you are preaching here.

MzShawtiez:

U sound rily bitter 4 no reason. Yea I 4got 2 add dat d OP is my husband so I will ask him y he did petroleum engineering 4 u, mr pessimist. Meanyl, take a hard luk at Igbonla's post, hopefully ur brain will b able 2 process it

Egbon Sir, ki lo de..
Go easy na.. U suppose dey advice us trying to *break* into...

AjanleKoko:



Everybody doesn't want to be Bill Gates. Right. But everybody wants to work in oil company




LOL.
What's there to be bitter about?
It's not like OP is in the oil company yet, he's just trying to 'break in'. Once he's able to 'break in', then I can start my jealousy trip, abi?

igbonla:

Not sure how you concluded that everybody wants to work in an oil company but there are so many threads here on other endeavors (poultry, fishery, palm oil, Forex trading, etc). Too many threads that are equally beneficial, I actually look forward to seeing one on how to be a politician in Nigeria!

Can't fault your judgement, only trying to get you to take a broader look at issues.
