U.I. thanks but I'll like to ask some more questions

Gerrard59:
Congratulations on you finishing with a First Class. You have crossed the first hurdle. Energy? You mean Oil and Gas? I don't know of your business/corporate knowledge skills, but if it's the oil and gas industry I think you should have known by now. The industry is in a lull at the moment, low prices=unprofitability=layoffs and a freeze on recruitment process.

However, you can target the downstream sector most notably Dangote's refinery, fertilizer and any of his allied companies. It's not wise to put all your eggs in one basket(in this case oil and gas). Diversify your search, practice more job test past questions, develop a knowledge about corporate Nigeria (one of the reasons why C-suite executives earn more is because they determine the financial state of the company).


In conclusion, I advise you intensify your search, recreate your CV(include your CGPA), be versatile (I can discuss any topic, ranging from career to any sport to the global economy to climate change to religion, politics, renewable energy, aviation, Big4, MBBs, magic circle), visit Nigeria's Muse, Jarushub, peep at Forbes magazine, The Economist, The Financial Times etc. Be ready to spend oh, looking for a job is also a job. http://www.testcentre-ng.com

Have a great day.

Which school did you grad from?

What courses do u advise an industrial chemistry graduate to take to improve chances in the oil and gas industry? And what are the main career paths? Thanks @ scantee

I got the mail too just a Bsc holder o.. I need to submit it within 2 weeks.

Gerrard59:
If you did include the Msc qualification in your CV, then it's advisable to include the transcript.
Where did you undergo your MSc? What was your major?

Not so sure about people calling. Finished with a First Class in Industrial Chemistry and I am clueless. Still in naija and havent gotten any job?
Any advise? I am interested in Energy sector. And i am just 22. I really need advise o

Gerrard59:
1) I would advise you not to continue as age is not on your side. However, pharmacy is a professional course which means you could open your store(become self employed), apply for masters abroad. With your uncle you could get financial aid to further your education.

2) Passion is key in anything one does. However, if you can handle Industrial Chemistry as a course you can make it. Academically, there exists little differences between Pharmacy and Industrial Chemistry; you write the same chemical formulas, compounds, if needed cram the crambles. Only difference is you apply the chemistry(pharmacy is mainly about chemistry than biology) in Pharmacy to the human body, while the other is applied in the industry. An industrial chemist can work in the pharmaceutical industry even though I concede a pharmacist is given more access, privilege and respect.

3) C'mon, don't you want to enjoy life when your mates are? You'd be above, maximum 35 years old. Haba!! !!. Unless, you intend becoming a researcher(which I'd say go overseas), I don't see the point.
4 years + 1 year NYSC = 24/25. Applying for Jamb + Bpharm = 30. Better finish here in Nigeria, apply for masters overseas and finish in say Msc in pharmaceutical science.
Passion is good, although you can generate passion yourself. When the desirable isn't available, the available becomes the desirable.

In conclusion, finish your Industrial Chemistry(you sound smart and intelligent), aim for a First Class. It's possible, a girl in Unilag did it, she's just 22(4.85). When you get your First Class, I bet even MIT, Oxford or Novartis would come calling.

Wish you the very best in your chosen career.

I think it's a scam...there's a batch no at the end plus I saw something on Nairaland about a company fis zonal...scam
Besides,they are using someone's name

Same here o, I can't even find anything on google...and the address is that first place u mentioned...hope it isn't those health scammers

scam things and even if its not well not sure u wanna work in any place without any sense of timeliness. o rit could be ur phone network that made the msg come in late. thin about it well before u go so u dont waste tfare

ensign:
pls experienced seniors help me out o. i got a msg for an interview around 3am to report for an interview by 9am dsame day. the sender only gave the address without the company name. is the interview genuine or a scam

I read industrial chemistry

Mrbigman1:
Depends on what u wanna go for and what u read in school.

Engineering, if it's drilling, or producing work.

Computer science and engineering can do almost everything. They are the ones with the greatest opportunity in dis field including electrical and electronics.

If na geology, it's another good deal. Depending on what u read den I can direct u on what u can go for.

Nna, I'm still upcoming. Haven't even gotten the experience.. Can u please intimate on the type of professional courses you mean?

Mrbigman1:
Good day sire. I have some insight, am busy at work sha but i'd be shabby in my explanation make dem no run me off.

First the oil company is just too large.
It divided into 3.
The producing, services and rig companies.

The producing can be shell, chevron, agip, exxon, total, addax. These are international firms. Local producing are Oando, conoil, seplat and co.

Services are about a billion of them. Including baker huges, Schlumberger, weatherford, haliburton, Eni, franks, Cameron, Nov etc which are d international level, local are now leading, thanks to deziani's policies.

Now, dis are contract staffs here and main staff. People would even prefer to work as contract in any organisation in d oil firm, it depends on ur bargain as an experienced hand to determine what u get. Some people bargain 1k dollars per day on d job, some 5oo dollars and so on. But as a real staff, u can still be dia and not even ve anything. So, the oil industry is only beneficial as experienced hand.
As a normal staff, ur basic salary can be as low as 100k, 50 k, 200k, wia we make our money is when at work, den depending on what ur company is into, how much dey make, dat how dey pay.

As for the rig company is almost a manual labour but dia money be like blood money sha depending on wia dey work.

If u work in d deep ocean on a ship, na blood money, if u work in shallow waters on a jack up, semi sub and the rest, another blood money, if u work in a swamp, small blood money, land rig na suffer head but na practice to get to the right place.

Dey are the only ones who goes in 2 weeks in and out cos of how tedious dia work is.

A drillers over here in a deep ocean get about 2million or more for two weeks.

Na small small, most people spend about 10 years here before dey have a break through, so any work na work, depending on commitment, experience and qualifications.

If u wanna join, start thinking of professional courses and starting small cos only few can start from big.

Ekelem unu ndi biafra
