QUOTE(exp007 @ Oct 23 2010, 02:32 PM) kalkulator85, good choice to go back to studying. SLB is very smart not to let their people learn too much from the helicopter point of view but make you focus on proprietary technology within SLB, which unfortunately is quite untransferrable. thanks bro..anyway r u ex-slb, with slb or got gf from slb?... Anyway, the MSc will help you reverse that, but then again, ex-SLBians are known in the industry to be able to take all kind of shit a.k.a. die hard & also at times excessive planning - pre-job meeting, HARCs, Q-STOP, JRI, PRA, etc, so make sure you use that to your advantage! Don't join back O&G services, target oil companies but again remember your SQ training, plan plan & plan ahead and also excellence in execution! You're now officially in charge of your life and you kinda only have 1 choice! So, take advantage of the extra free time you get with uni life! I know after 2 months in yemeni desert with no internet no phone (if you're lucky at least a slow VSAT connection) and your highlight of the week being the terrorist drills, you feel like you deserve a break but don't let that get you! After joining SLB, you should know how hungry the other ppl from other third world countries are but they are your competition now! Make sure you join local SPE chapter and become one of the committee members & be very active & gung-ho. Like you said already, networking is important. The job is not hard but people like to work with people they like. If you're shy, go & join Toastmasters to develop your public speaking skills. If even more shy than that, go sign up in the weekends to be those guys doing outdoor sales, selling credit card, MLM or membership of this & that but don't buy those things yourself of course and no need to put in CV. Also, don't forget to pick up a sport e.g. golf. Anyway, good luck and enjoy! |

QUOTE(ICDeadPeople @ Oct 24 2010, 08:12 PM) Hi bro, well basically yes im going to that.. becoming RE, PetTechnologist or even geologist but wat im really looking for is wellsite geologist,surveying works..working on ship n sailing.(more money and i like to work offshore)just to mention some of the companies so u would b clear..western geco, furgo, geoservices, i really wanna fell both sides d planner n d executor..n as exp007 advice go to oil company, i'd like to go to oil company since once i graduated i already 27 but i would preferably wanna involve in formation evaluation but i guess baker hughes also have great team on that.but if theY put me IN office based y not..for a start not going to b that picky but mayb i would suggest to the bos to select one day where everyone has to wear coverall in office.. care to share what is your previous job with scumberger and what are you planning to be after you complete your Msc? You mentioned that you interested with reservoir e.g subsurface, perhaps you want to venture in reservoir engineer? Or maybe you can be petroleum technologist? both job is office based, but pay wise is still consider very good. Although three years doesnt seem long, but it will give you a advantage when you going for interview later since you have a basic knowledge in ONG. Anyway, good luck in your study. basically d previous job d challenge is more on operation n d instruments..its more on learning d equipments n handling them n do maintainence n collecting data etc...this is d segment where d company man would b asking which one is d engineer. cause he would c everyone holding a sladge hammer connecting 3-4inc pipes n some of them climbing the tanks.. QUOTE(exp007 @ Oct 24 2010, 10:24 PM) bro, i give u plenty of hints already so no need to be so clear-cut. Need to maintain some form of anonymity lah. But do share with us your experience & what you think could be done better if you met any obstacles. one of my favourite 'dah balik sini dah.bile nk kawin'... but ove them .all of themm This post has been edited by kalkulator85: Oct 25 2010, 12:49 AM |
