Building Your Resilient Oil & Gas Career
This webinar is designed for those of us who strive to build and maintain a career in our boom-and-bust industry.
Typically, oil and gas careers begin as commodity prices rise and reserves replacement accelerates. This webinar will share ideas and lessons learned on how to sustain your career through low and high oil prices, be it a technical or business path. Once there is an understanding of the oil and gas business cycle, then a professional can anticipate the skills, experience and knowledge to acquire in the good times to better ride out the "hard times" which are a normal part of our business.
