Employment in Oil

I realize that I tend to be a bit biased towards the environmental perspective of things - so from time to time I chastise myself and write a bit about oil, natural gas - you know, the energy sources that our country actually runs on. In this vein, I am going to spend this post giving you all information about career opportunities in oil companies. It is actually refreshing for me to research this because unlike environmental places, oil companies actually have the money for summer internship programs and extremely well developed professional programs. Keep in mind that the oil company operation is huge - and prepare to be specialized into either engineering, business or retail (working the gas stations).

Let's start with Chevron. Here is what they have to say about a career at Chevron,

"Imagine a career at one of the world’s leading energy companies, with operations that span the globe and cover the entire spectrum of industry disciplines. More than just a place to work, Chevron represents a world of opportunity, challenge and fulfillment.

You’ll bring passion and ingenuity to your work every day. In return, we provide you with a comprehensive range of competitive salary, benefits and programs to help you get the most out of work and life."

How about BP (Is it British Petroleum, or Beyond Petroleum, now?)
Well, similarly, BP has entire page dedicated to employment opportunities with them in a variety of disciplines. They are looking for science, engineering and business majors, and it is much easier to apply if they are recruiting on your campus. (What else is new...where is the love for the small campus??) Anyways, there is something here for nearly everyone - internships as well as job opportunities...They even have a self-assesment quiz, in case you wandered onto their site by mistake.

That's all for now. I can't bring myself to do Exxon. More later, and good luck!
