20 13 graduated from undergraduate course and came to the United States for postgraduate study. That year, we caught up with the recruitment reform of China Petrochemical Company, and there was no double election meeting between the two companies in June 5438+ 10 every year. Many children who could have reported directly to our unit suddenly lost their jobs because of the sudden change of policy, but were forced to be dispatched by labor services. The employment situation is not good, and many students also choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination in China to ease the employment pressure. During the summer vacation, I worked as an intern in the office of NOV Lujiazui Global Financial Center for a while, which seemed to open a new door. When the oil price 120 dollars, the seniors who graduated from the group still have the opportunity to go directly to big companies. If they are not good enough, they will go to field engineer to earn some bonuses. At that time, I was thinking, study hard, be a doctor and live a quality life.
20 14 oil prices began to decline, and the funds in the group were a little tight. Many new students lost their sponsors, and when they first started ABM, they could feel that the atmosphere of the company didn't seem easy at first. Therefore, the application of summer interns has not been very smooth, and many families interviewed have begun to exclude international students. After being rej again and again, I got an internship in Schlumberger, China. At the end of the last interview, I chatted with HR, and she asked me what my plans were after graduation. I said working as a field engineer in Schlumberger is not bad. She smiled and said, you don't think this is a loss. I said that the company and I are two-way choices, each with its own qualifications. I made a few jokes. Later, after the internship, there was a farewell dinner for the final presentation. I was lucky to meet HR. I learned that she worked as a field engineer in the United States for four years, then transferred back to China to talk about work and chose to talk about the future. Although a little unclear, it seems that she can still have confidence.
20 15 14 After the oil price dropped sharply in the second half of the year, I was unhappy in my research, and I was not prepared to study for a PhD. It was extremely difficult to find a job, and I spent a very difficult time in various unresolved days. I have thought about taking a gap year, returning to China, studying, changing careers, and even going home to take part in the recruitment examination if I really can't. The environment is full of sadness, so I can only mediate by myself. I've made up a lot of books that I've always wanted to read but haven't read. I have reviewed all the professional knowledge I have learned since my undergraduate course. I have traveled in the United States for more than five weeks, writing CL online application while traveling. Everyone thinks I'm free and easy in vain, walking around leisurely. In fact, only I know my inner anxiety and swelling. Fortunately, I am lucky enough. One morning when I traveled to Maui, I received the final admission notice in my mailbox. Base works in a house in Houston. D's company, a software development engineer of MWD, although I don't have much choice in this oil price, everything is quite satisfactory. I went back to school to pack my bags and started my career of driving 500 miles.
The days at work pass quickly. In a blink of an eye, oil prices also fell rapidly during the same period. Yesterday, the oil price was $35, and big companies began to compete for layoffs. People are fired every day. Some time ago, I had dinner with some friends of the oil company, and talked about that the company's lunch had changed from free to five knives and three plates, and even bottled water could not be provided. Yesterday, I called my customers and said that the overall budget of their head office will be reduced to 8 billion next year. You know, this is just an investment in an oil field this year. Goldman Sachs predicts that the oil price will reach 20 yuan next year, and the consulting firm analyzes that the oil price is likely to remain low for a long time.
In two years, it has experienced the highest point and the lowest point in the industry, with a gap of 100 USD. I am also fortunate to be a participant in history. However, there is still hope for the oil industry, and life will continue. More unknowns will be more interesting.
