Hello everyone, hello geoscientist and engineers in the house, I'm a 300l of geology department from one of prestigious state university around the south South.

So I will be doing my Undergraduate Internship program Immediately strike is call off, actually I wish to do it in ExxonMobil or Total, but to me I know everything isn't about connection

So I want any experience staff here to explain on how I can make it to ExxonMobil or total even after my graduation

2, I also have a question that has been bothering me for a while now, is it possible to be a contract staff in many oil companies, to me I think is good, they will only call when they need you and pay you well, even if one Bleep up, u still know that u have a place in other companies too and u won't be bothered

3, do oil company employ geologist and geophysicist as an explorer or a drilling engineer

4, who did they need most between geoscientist (petroleum geologist, geochemist, geophysicist as an explorer, geological engineer, reservoir geologist) and

Engineers ( chemical engineer, mechanical engineer, civil engineer and electrical engineer)
Who do they employ most

Thanks
.

I did my internship at exonnmobil in 2003. We wrote aptitude test. I passed.. And that was it. U don't need to know anybody

Yes you can. Keep an eye out for when the IOCs start accepting applications for internship, prepare a good cover letter, your cv, make sure you have good grades.
Acceptance is usually based on merit.
Good luck

Yes you can by the special grace of God almighty.


If u r 'super intelligent' and u follow d right steps, there'd definitely be a slot for u.

Those companies value integrity.
They take in a lot of persons based on MERIT.

Others can come in through slots like "host community considerations/compensation".

And finally, the well connected ones



I wasn't super intelligent. Just average.
I wasn't from a host community.
No connections.

Hence, I didnt get such opportunity when I tried.

Did a lot but it didn't work even though I studied petroleum engineering.

Hopefully, someday... God's light would shine on me.
The needed connection would locate and connect me to place of grace.

But in the meantime, I'm keeping busy/paying off d bills through copywriting , making of telegram bots and trading bots, logo and Flyer design, and sales of premium softwares like: Grammarly premium, Quillbot, Canva pro, turnitin, VPN, etc

Back in the 1980s, even NNPC would not take you for NYSC without connection, talk less Exon Mobil then and now. Corruption has been deep-rooted in Nigeria.

I don't agree with this.

As recent as 2005, I know someone who got a job with NNPC without knowing anyone.

You can get an internship placement with any of these companies if you have a good grade in school and also if any of them comes to your school to conduct an internship aptitude test in order to select students for internship. You can also get a job with them without knowing anyone. I work for one of these majors in Nigeria although I won't mention the particular one. However,the most important thing you need to focus on now is working on your grammar, diction and tenses as you can't get a placement with any of them with what I read up there unless you're connected to the who-is-who in Nigeria. Also have it in mind that the best you can get as a job with these oil majors , with heavy connections, is a contract position. They don't compromise on quality while recruiting their core staff.

Young man, you can get a placement in any of the oil companies without connection ( but not really).

You need to be a scholar - if your HOD or Dean recommends you, based on your CGPA, people tend to respect that and would give you a chance.

If you are an average student, why do you think you should get a place before a scholar?

If you are average then you must be exceptional at something even if it is just sweet talking.

You could be employed as either though you often would be taken as an explorer.

Oil companies need all skillsets - yet engineers are mostly preferred for their versatility and high numeracy.

Of course, there are more engineering projects going on from pure building and civil works (don't let the name fool you - all engineers are need here) to drilling and operations to facilities, pipeline etc.

akanbiaa:
How do you get inside the top offices of a high building without being invited and using elevator or stairs after being invited ? Answering this question will give you the reason why the top is not overcrowded, but in all cases there are very few exceptions which we call miracles, like being invited accidentally to the top of the building because you were at the right place at the right time and you did something exceptional that is very rare to see and those sitting at the top will be fascinated to see that unique ability you displayed that their scout accidentally came in touch with you when you were doing it. Hope you get the point ? Even advanced countries with all your skills you need recommedations or reference by others linked directly or indirectly to the Organization but the difference with Nigeria is that if you are good and keep getting better it is just a matter of time you will get noticed by scouts while in Nigeria most scouts are not even looking for extraordinart abilities but managing with what they recommended or their bosses brought it and coping with it. In some few cases the not so good ones becomes serious and learn on the job and becomes an asset, while others outsource basic duties to professionals outside office at more cost and majority just do anyhow they deem fit.
you have said it all.

Back in 2006, when I did my IT at ExxonMobil Qua Iboe terminal Ibeno, it was possible. You only had to pass the aptitude test which was hellish and almost impossiblegrin.

What you can also do is find local oil services companies that do jobs for Total, Mobil, Shell etc and voila! you're in.

Short answer: NO!
Long answer: These companies are highly sought out by fresh graduates, and the sad reality is that graduates less qualified than you are probably going to get the jobs at such companies if they are connected to well placed people.

My Advice: Don't give up your hope to intern at ExxonMobil but at the same time be realistic and expand your options to include less exalted companies.
