Job Search Begins

[futureagg]

Well unfortunately I got laid off today, two weeks after I just got married. So we are testing the “through better or worse” very quickly now.

Started the job search tonight when I got home and I have already filled out unemployment.

Any tips or advice for anyone that has gone through this situation before would be much appreciated. I’m 25 with two years of experience in oil and gas at a consulting company.

I graduated from A&M December of 2017 with a degree in Petroleum Engineering and a minor in Business. I was a member of the Corps of Cadets during my time at A&M.

Started working at a consulting company in Houston in the core lab and after starting a new testing procedure they moved me to the consulting side of the company evaluating asset acquisition and assisting banks in borrowing base and redeterminations. I also used production of clients wells to better assist in acreage development and help determine proper spacing.

I know the oil industry is in shambles currently, and I would be inclined to either a career change or staying in the oil industry. If anyone has any leads I would greatly appreciate anything. Thanks y’all. I am happy to send my resume to any and everyone. I’m located in Houston, but we could relocate it if need be.

Thank you, that’s all I’m doing now. It’s a shock for sure, but I’m not surprised either. Thank you I appreciate it!

I left the Oil field at 20 and went to work for Cintas.

With your degree I would apply for a management trainee job. Within 2 years if your good you should have a job making mid 70’s to mid 80’d depending on bonus.

Thank you, I definitely want to work. I find it honestly fun still because I am learning. I wish I could have stayed at the company because I did learn something new everyday and I had just started taking on more responsibility starting to interact with clients more etc.

Sorry to hear this. My oldest son is your age and just got laid off and is looking, too. He works for a contractor at the Baytown Exxon. Keep your head up, and if I hear anything, I'll let you know.
