A 2.2 GRADUATE’S DILEMMA ON OIL AND GAS JOB DREAM
Sir Jarus,
Recently, I’ve been on the net and I’ve gone through your post and advice to a couple of people and I’m quite impressed with how you’ve helped people out there and I have a great feeling that you’d help me get through this great burden I have at the moment.
I’m a 3rd year student of electrical engineering and my Grade point in school isn’t good I’m in a 2.2 at the moment, is it possible I could still work in the oil and gas industry in the future and what do I really need to do to improve this ?
I hope to hear from you soon
Thanks sir
Joe

Dear Joe,
Yes, it is possible. There are 2.2 graduates that work in the oil and gas industry. Most got in through contract jobs, where grade is sometimes not the biggest consideration. Some remain in contract position, some got converted to permanent position after some time, some moved to another company as experienced hire (when grade is no longer a key consideration).
