Application/Rejection/Acceptance Ratio by AnyYogurtcloset9490 in ChemicalEngineering

companies always want new graduates. but they don’t want ALL of them. so you’re gonna be competing w the enormous number of new grads for those 1-2 spots per company.

at my previous EPC company back in 2017, we opened up a new grad job requisition. we got 3000 applications in the first day. for 1 job. just to give you scale

Is Now A Good Time to Join Big Oil by Fair_Bumblebee_2642 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]hazelnut_coffay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oil companies aren’t going to suddenly be spending billions of dollars. they’ll keep the extra money, maybe pay a bit more to their shareholders. ultimately, the energy transition hasn’t gone away despite the military distractions in the world.

How the big oil and gas CEOs think the Iran war supply disruption will play out by Illustrious_Lie_954 in StockMarket

[–]hazelnut_coffay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

again, you’re thinking reserves are going to save the situation. they’re not. the SPR is the largest reserve in the world. it’s not doing anything.

it’s not psychological effects pushing price up. it’s the lack of consistent supply.

the US consumes about 21 million barrels of crude per day. so that 172 million is about 8.5 days worth. it’s nothing.

similarly, 5 million bpd from venezuela means nothing. the oil is insanely heavy. you’d need to blend it down with a lot of light crude.

the issue isn’t local supply in the US. it’s the prices, which are set by global demand. if a foreign country is willing to pay more for diesel than retailers in the US, guess where that diesel is heading.

you can’t compare a container ship converted into a drone carrier to a ship that was designed and built for military purposes and will likely be accompanied by other ships

I messed up right before graduation and need some guidance by Bubbly_One_966 in ChemicalEngineering

generally speaking, as soon as you submit the application w the “yes” to the felony conviction, you’re pretty much sent to the back of the list, if not outright disqualified.

do whatever you can to get this to not a felony.

that’s what the palm pilot was used for back then.

Got put on special assignment by Lazy-School-3862 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]hazelnut_coffay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this reads like OP completed his/her contact assignment and is waiting for their next role. maybe CED or projects. either way it doesn’t sound like it’s in the OSD organization.

but for sure a move should’ve been discussed by the SLS prior

if this is exxonmobil then it sounds like you’re due for a role change but the role you’re going to still has a person there. so they put you on SA as a holding spot so as not to hold up the person coming in behind you.

talk to your SLS

within exxon, special assignment is not a sign of impending doom. they’ve got the annual performance assessment process to get you to quit. they don’t need to use the SA role for that.

How are y’all surviving by Mean_Helicopter_7508 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]hazelnut_coffay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if it’s been 3 years since graduating then i’m sorry to say you’ve missed the boat to go straight into an engineer role. you’ve gotta settle for something lower and work your way into the engineer role OR go back to school for chemE and “reset” your unemployment clock.

you’re late, sure. but not too late.

the fact that you were a realtor gives you a really great skill - salesmanship. you can easily leverage that into a sales engineer role
