<p>hi
Should I take extra internships or retake some subjects to increase my current 2.8 gpa? (I am graduating in June) Here's my info:</p>
<p>-I want to work in OnG (field specialist/entry level or offshore related). -I have cgpa 2.80 with in major 3.10 in electronic nanotechnology.
-I am working (unpaid internship) in a university's research center helping postgraduates and my supervisor participating in 1~3 papers. (inorganic chemistry stuff, since I am keen in OnG industry..)
-I also worked as junior analyst for 7 months (customer dealing, modelling excel, etc..lvl 1 cfa) for a start-up company.
-I also worked as freelancer in web programming (e commerce: updating web server, setup and managing its database, pricing model etc)
-not very active in extra co curricular activities (1 secretary+1 committee position)</p>
<p>why OnG:
-money is good
-I like the work shift. 8/2, 4/2 2/2 etc...
I looked through their website, and they hire all engineering grads (maths/physics/engineering aptitude).
please comment.thanks</p>
<p>Your current gpa and limited experiences [no experience working with field work] will make it difficult to get any oil and gas jobs as an engineer. These are the top two things the companies look at when offering interviews.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t let this hinder your thoughts on applying though. You never know if you don’t try.</p>
<p>Considering that I still have five more months to graduate, getting another internship in geology dept (or something related to petroleum engineering/OnG/offshore), helping those researcher in data gathering or something are at least the closest, loosely typing, ‘field work’ that I could think of…
any comment on this?
thanks.</p>
<p>If you can get some work done in the geology department, that’ll up your chances.
What I’d do is work at the research lab, try to network towards corporate sponsors (if any) and try getting noticed through that route.</p>
<p>Working in a geology lab probably won’t get you the field job you want. But it’ll get you closer to the oil industry.</p>
